what are the 3 stages of tooth development?
- bud stage
- cap stage
- bell stage
What happens in the cap stage?
the round form starts to invert and there is the appearance of a cap = cap stage
How are buds formed?
epithelial thickening (dental lamina) starts at 6-8 weeks of fetal development and the lamina differentiates into tooth buds
how do buds appear in the bud stage?
round or ovoid
what happens in the bell stage?
-concavity deepens = bell stage
-most of enamel and coronal dentin laid down; DEJ identifiable
-connection w/ dental lamina disintegrates
permanent tooth bud starts forming
bell stage ends with what?
formation of CE line
enamel organ differentiates into hertwig's sheath, which forms the what?
root structure
when the root is completed what happens to the apical foramen?
it is constricted
root is completed in deciduous teeth at about age _____
3, one year from eruption to completion
active eruption
entry of tooth into oral cavity until contact w/ opposing tooth
passive eruption
continuing adaptation of tooth to changing occlusal relationships, continues throughout life
Deciduous eruption sequence
1. central incisors
2. lateral incisors
3. 1st molars
4. canines
5. 2nd molars
*mandibular precedes maxillary
permanent anteriors develop ________ to primary roots
lingual
premolars develop w/in ______ of primary molars
root furcations
when do the mandible/maxilla start growth spurt?
age 5 to make room for the first permanent molars that erupt at age 6
which teeth are the cornerstones in permanent occlusion
1st molars
what are the ages of mixed dentition?
6-12 yrs old
ankylosis
root is fused to bone, disrupts resorption and exfoliation - especially if permanent tooth bud does not form
describe resorption process
starts at least 1 yr prior to exfoliation; permanent teeth start resorption of primary roots (osteoclastic process) b/c of the pressure of permanent teeth coming in
describe exfoliation
-root structure mostly resorbed, tooth is loose
-mandibular teeth precede maxillary except: primary 2nd molars all 4 are lost about same time (11-12 yrs)
deciduous dentition is important in maintaining what?
arch space for permanent dentition
how many deciduous teeth and what is the dental formula?
20 (A-T); I 2/2 C 1/1 M 2/2
primary dentition crowns are ______ M-D relative to height and _______ relative to total tooth length
wider; shorter
in primary dentition the facial and lingual HOC are closer to the ________
cervical line
primary crowns exhibit more _____ convexity
F and L
primary crowns are more constricted ______ and ______ in F-L dimensions
cervically and occlusally
there is a presence of a __________ on facials of all primary teeth and linguals of anteriors
cervical ridge
do primary teeth or permanent teeth have fewer anomalies and more consistent shapes?
primary
do primary or permanent teeth have longer roots relative to crown height?
primary, but primary roots are smaller in other dimensions
T or F apices of anterior roots are facially inclined
T
to provide more space for permanent buds, molar roots are ________
flared
Do primary roots have root trunks?
no, branching occurs close to crown
