During the ___ stage dental lamina (patches of epithelial cells) grow into underlying tissues.
|
Bud Stage
|
|
During this stage aka proliferation in which the cells of the tooth grow and the tooth bud takes a hollowed caplike shape.
|
Cap Stage
|
|
The last period of growth aka histodifferentiation. The cells form the cementum.
|
Bell Stage
|
|
The tooth begins to take shape and from through a process called?
|
Morphodifferentiation
|
|
The deposting of the matrix for the hard dental structures at the end of the Morphodifferentiation.
|
Appostion
|
|
The process which organic tissue becomes harddened by a depost of calcium or any mineral salts
|
Calcifcation
|
|
The crown of the tooth has formed and the root begins to develop. The tooth moves into proper position.
|
Eruption
|
|
When primary teeth get ready falll out and make way for the eruption of permanent teeth. This process is called what?
|
Exfoliation
|
|
The crown is divided into two parts.
|
Anatomical crown=the portion of the tootch encased in enamel. Clinical crown=the crown exposed in the mouth
|
|
Embedded in alveolar bone and covered by cementurn.
|
The root
|
|
The apex (tip of the root) Has a small opening that allows the passage of blood vessels and nerves from the tooth called the apical foramen.
|
Apical foramen
|
|
A slight indentation that encircles the tootha nd marks the junction of the crown with the root
|
The cervix or cervical line
|
|
Translucent. Calcified substance that cover the entire anatomic crown of the tooth and proctects the dentin.
|
Enamel
|
|
A light yellow substance, very prorous, largest portion of the tooth. Transmits pain stimuli by the way of dentinal fibers
|
Dentin
|
|
Bonelike tissue that covers roots of the teeth in a thin layer. Main function is to anchor the teeth to the bony walls of the tooth sockets
|
Cementum
|
|
soft tissue of the tooth, develops from the connective tissue of the dental papilla.
|
Dental Pulp
|
|
The pulp contatins blood vessels and nerves that enter through the
|
Apical Foramen
|
|
THe chief function of the pulp is the formation of?
|
Dentin
|
|
The tissues that surround and support the teeth. Support-protect-and provide nourishment to the teeth
|
Periodontium
|
|
The only tissue considered as both the basic part of the tooth and a component of the periodontium.
|
Cementum
|
|
The process when the bony portion of the maxilla and mandiable where the teeth are embedded and by by which the roots are supported.
|
Alveolar Process
|
|
The highest point of the alveolar ridge
|
Alveolar Crest
|
|
Forms the tooth socket.
|
Alveolar Bone Proper
|
|
Light pink in color and is keratinized covers the hard palate and ginigiva.
|
Masticatory Mucosa
|
|
The line that separates the attached gingiva from the lining mucoase
|
Mucogingival Junction
|
|
Used to incise food. Located in the from of the moth with charp thin edges for cutting (shovel shaped)
|
Incisors
|
|
Aka canines are at the angles of the mouth. Designed for cutting and tearing.
|
Cuspids
|
|
AKA premolars. Have two cusps used for cutting and tearing..are wider to crush food
|
Bicuspids
|
|
Provied a broad surface for grinding and chewing solid masses of food. Has usually four or five cusps.
|
Molars
|
|
The teeth usually consist of how many teeth
|
32
|
|
surfaces of a tooth that faces toward the lips of the cheeks
|
facial
|
|
proximal surface closet to the midline of the arch
|
mesial
|
|
opposite the mesial oriented away from the midline of the arch
|
Distal
|
|
faces towards the tongue
|
lingual
|
|
board chewing surfaces found on posterior teeth (bicuspids and molars)
|
Occlusal
|
|
The anteroposterior curve in which the mandibular arch forms a concave.
|
Curve of Spee
|
|
The composite of these curves for a line called the occlusal plane (contact of the upper and lower teeth) The lateral curve is called
|
The curve of wilson
|
|
A pointed or rounded elevation of enamel found on cuspids and on the chewing surfaces of bicuspids and molars
|
Cusp
|
|
FOund of the lingual aspects of an anterior tooth. It is a convex mount of enamel localized to the cervial one-third of the crown
|
Cingulum
|
|
A linear fault that somtimes occurs in a developmental groove by incomplete or imperfect joing of the lobs.
|
fissure
|
|
A rounded or angular depression of varying size found of the surface of the tooth
|
fossa
|
|
Only found of the maxillary molar. Consist of an elevated prominence on the occusal surface and extends obliquely from the tips of the mesiolingual cusp
|
Oblique Ridge
|
|
Aka as the wisdom teeth
|
Third Molar
|
