What develops from the dental lamina?
|
All primary teeth and the first permanent molars
|
|
Succedaneous teeth develop from what?
|
Primary tooth buds
|
|
What causes congenital absence of teeth?
|
Lack of initiation or arrest of proliferative cells
|
|
Continued budding of what causes supernumerary teeth?
|
Enamel organ
|
|
Define eruption
|
Crown formation is complete
|
|
What is emergence and when does it occur?
|
Appearance of a tooth in the oral cavity (typically called "eruption")
It occurs when the root is 3/4 developed. |
|
How long does it take from crown completion to full occlusion in permanent teeth?
|
5 years
So about the same as dental school. |
|
There is evidence of mineralization of how many teeth at birth?
|
24
20 primary teeth + four permanent 1st molars |
|
Which teeth show germ formation before birth?
|
Incisors
Canines Permanent 1st molars |
|
True/False: environmental factors affecting the onset of menarche also change the age of emergence of some teeth.
|
False.
|
|
Extraction of primary teeth will (enhance/delay) eruption of permanent teeth?
|
Either, before age 5 delays eruption
|
|
What is the most desirable eruption pattern of permanent teeth?
|
1M → C → L → 1P → 2P → K9 → 2M
|
|
Late K9 eruption is bad for which gender?
|
Boys - lost space
|
|
What is always the safest tooth to extract, orthodontically speaking?
|
Premolars
Canines are the WORST! |
|
What does CA = 11-5 mean?
|
Chronological Age:
11 years, 5 months |
|
Permanent incisors erupt B or L?
|
Lingual, baby
|
|
A lack of developmental __ is a predictor of future crowding.
|
Developmental spaces
|
|
What erupts at DA (dental age) 6?
|
Mand centrals & 1st molars
|
|
What erupts at DA (dental age) 7?
|
Max centrals & Mand laterals
|
|
What erupts at DA (dental age) 8?
|
Max laterals
|
|
What erupts at DA (dental age) 9?
|
Nothing! Quiescent period lasting 2-3 years, roots develop, though.
(largely mandibular) |
|
What erupts at DA (dental age) 11?
|
Mand premolars, Max 1st pre
|
|
What erupts at DA (dental age) 12?
|
Anything that hasn't erupted yet will erupt now.
God, that sounds so wrong! It's not, though, seriously. |
|
What is leeway space?
|
A bit of space (2.5mm mand, 1.5mm max) we can use to relieve crowding.

|
What are the primate spaces?
|
"in the primary dentition, a space mesial to the maxillary primary canines and distal to the mandibular primary canines"
My source: http://www.uic.edu/depts/dort/glossary.html |
|
3-3 (intercanine) width is established by what age?
|
8
|
|
Primary incisors procline. Why?
|
Tongue activity.
|
|
What is proclination?
|
Labial movement
|
|
What device can a DDS place that will help maintain leeway space for the poor, defenseless orthodontist?
|
Fixed Lingual Arch
|
|
What is Tx for eruption of Mand incisors with crowding?
|
Nothing! They will often fix themselves.
|
|
A distal step (primary) leads to what?
|
Class II or end-to-end (also CII)
Refer! |
|
What do terms like flush, distal and mesial step refer to?
|
Terminal Plane Relationships
|
|
At what stage does the mandible primarily change?
|
Adolescence
|
|
When do dentofacial changes stop occurring?
|
When changes like earthworms eating your eyeballs start occurring...
DEATH!! |
|
When does most eruption occur?
|
At night
|
|
What causes Mand incisal crowding post adolescence?
|
Incisors retrocline
|
|
True/False: 3rds do not play a role in crowding.
|
True!
|
|
What are the three stages of tooth development?
|
Bud, Cap and Bell!
Bud stage - initiation Cap stage - proliferation Bell stage - histo / morphodifferentiation |
