What is Dentinal Sclerosis?
Protective dentin response. Can be physiologic (aging), or pathological (caries, crystals form..)
Acute Pulpitis
High virulent bacteria
Abscess Formation
Non-sclerosed dentinal tubules (no reactive-protective dentin response)
Chronic Pulpitis
Lower virulence bacteria
Slow progression thru sclerosed/calcified tubules
Fibroblasts present, necrotic pulp
Reversible Pulpitis
Pain with cold, short duration, localized pain.

Removal of stimulus --> heals
Irreversible Pulpitis
Pain with hot, long duration, harder to localize
What types of necrosis will you see in pulpal necrosis?
Abscess = liquefactive
If blood supply problem / trauma / hypoxia = Coagulative
Widespread bacteria/N-waste = Gangrenous (smelly)
Periapical Abscess
Purulent exudate at apex of nonvital tooth.
Sensitive to percussion (elevated tooth)
Tx: incise and drain. A-b's if severe.
Parulis
Un-tx abscess draining into gingiva
Ludwig's Angina
Un-tx abscess draining into floor of mouth
Periapical Granuloma
Misnomer! Not true granuloma
ASYMPTOMATIC
See granulation tissue, no EPT response, radioluscent.

Tx: RCT and/or ext
Periapical (Radicular) Cyst
Apex of non-vital tooth
Asymptomatic
No EPT response
Similar to periapical granuloma...tx is the same..(endo/ext)
Phoenix Abscess
Abscess within periapical granuloma, due to CHANGE IN FLORA
- immune compromised / etc
Osteomyelitis
Inflammation of bone, very destructive.
From fracture / tooth infection
Mandible and Men more frequent
Lots of predisposing factors...
Acute Osteomyelitis
Rapid spread of periapical abscess
Very painful
Histo: no osteocytes.
Dead bone (sequestrum)
tx: high high dose antibiotics
Chronic Osteomyelitis
From acute or de novo
Pain, but less intense and severe than acute
Will see fibrotic tissue mixed into sequestrum
Condensing osteitis (Focal sclerosing osteomyelitis)
Formation of NEW BONE at the apex.
Kids more often
Cause: low-grade infection of pulp
Tx: endo or exo (?)
bone WILL have osteocytes!
Tooth Fusion
Tooth count is one less.
Ex: #2 and 3 merge into one tooth

Dx: must count all the teeth
Tooth Gemination
Teeth still fused, but normal tooth count. (ex: two "parts" of a tooth coming together and fusing to form one)

Dx: must count all the teeth
Microdontia
Pegged teeth
Down's syndrome common
Mesiodens
miniature tooth found in midline
Dens invaginatus (dens in dente)
tooth in a tooth
lateral most common
Dilaceration
root takes a different direction
Can be developmental OR TRAUMA during dev

Difficult to extract
Taurodontism
neck/cervical elongated
"bull teeth"
Hypercementosis
Excess cementum production

Associated with paget's disease.
Teeth are okay.
Concrescence
Root fusion between adjacent teeth. If ext one, the other must go also
Enamel Hypoplasia
Enamel has little pits in places.
Conditions: mother has virus, early onset chicken pox, measles
Chronic: will get tertiary dentin
Attrition
grinding//bruxism on occlusal surface

Chronic: will get tertiary dentin
Abrasion
acid..chewing on weird stuff...
Chronic: will get tertiary dentin
**this definition sucks**
Erosion
from acid accumulation. Bulimia.

Chronic: will get tertiary dentin
Ectodermal Dysplasia
Form of hypodontia
Reduced ectoderm. (hair fragile/lack sweat glands)
Hereditary Oligodontia
Form of hypodontia
Heterogenous (multiple causes)
Will transmit to offspring no matter what
Cleidocranial dysplasia
Form of hyperdontia
Missing clavicles
Familia adenomatous polyposis "FAP"
Form of hyperdontia
Prone to cancer also.
Amelogenesis Imperfecta
heterogenous (dom/rec/X-link)
Hypoplastic (production defect)
Hypomaturation (produce normal, bad mature)
Hypocalcified (produce normal, bad calc)
AMELX / FAM83H...
Teeth do not bond well!!! Will need full-coverage
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
Type 1: OI assoc.
Type 2: DSPP mutation only
Yellow/orange color
Bulbous crowns, cerv constriction
Obliterated pulp chambers (dentin overgrowth)
Dentin Dysplasia Type 1
DSPP gene
Radicular dentin screwed
"Rootless teeth"
Pulps obliterated
Dentin dysplasia Type 2
similar to DI
DSPP gene
Coronal Dentin
Hypophosphatasia
alkaline phosphatase defect, needed for bone metab
phosphoethanolamine in urine
no or little CEMENTUM
Large canal/pulp, PDL screwed
ALPL / DLX3 gene defects
Hyperbilirubinemia / Fluorosis / Tetracycline
Bilirubin --> green teeth
Fluorosis --> doesn't weaken tooth
Tetracycline --> yellow/red
Porphyria
genetic, weird stuff gets incorporated into dev teeth that shouldn't, weakens and browns them
Regional Odontodysplasia
1-3 neighboring teeth abnormal
ghost teeth, thin enamel large pulp canal
possible bv supply prob during dev
if in adult dentition, must have had in primary
