1
Q

Largest incisal embrasure of the anterior teeth

A
  • The distal contact of the MAXILLARY LATERAL INCISOR is quite cervical: In the middle 1/3 (related to the distal curvature of this tooth)
  • The mesial contact on the MAXILLARY CANINE is at the the junction of the incisal and middle thirds.
  • The incisal embrasure between these two teeth is the largest of the anteriors.

Q

Incisors and canines and most premolars form from how many lobes?

A

4 Lobes (three from the facial cusp with the middle lobe forming mid-facial ridges; and the lingual lobe forming the cingulum or lingual cusp)

21
Q

Mandibular second three cusp premolars form how many lobes?

A

5 Lobes: 3 facial and 2 Lingual

22
Q

What is a distinguishing characteristic of the PRIMARY mandibular first molar

A

Prominent transverse ridge in the mesial half of the occlusal table

23
Q

Define CENTRAL FOSSA LINE

A

The line running between posterior tooth cusps (following central grooves)

24
Q

Occlusal tables are about ___-____% of the total buccolingual length of posterior teeth

A

55-65%

25
Q

When do permanent mandibular central incisor begin calcifying?

A

3-4 months

26
Q

When do permanent molars begin calcifying?

A

Birth

27
Q

At age 8, describe the contact of permanent molars to primary molars

A

The mesial contact of the permanent first molar contacts with the distal of the primary second molars

28
Q

What causes the spacing between primary teeth?

A

Growth of jaw bones

29
Q

How many teeth are present at age 8?

A

24; 18 deciduous plus 6 permanent (four permanent molars plus two mandibular incisors)

30
Q

What permeant teeth do the primary second molars resemble?

A

First permanent teeth (including cusp of Carabelli on maxillary molars)

31
Q

Compared to teeth with more rounded roots, how many canals do you expect in an oval shaped root?

A

2; Therefor maxillary incisors are least likely to have 2 canals compared to other mandibular anteriors, and mandibular canine is most likely to have 2 roots compared to maxillary anteriors

32
Q

Where are the placement of two roots on anterior teeth and premolars be located?

A

Facial and lingual

33
Q

What maxillary anterior tooth is LEAST LIKELY to have proximal contact in the incisal third?

A

Distal of the Maxillary Canine (Distal of lateral also)

34
Q

Where is the occlusion for the Maxillary first premolar lingual cusp

A

Maxillary first premolar lingual cusp occludes only with mandibular first premolar due to the mesial placement of the lingual cusp

35
Q

Describe the physical relationship between the long buccal nerve and the masseter muscle

A

The long buccal nerve crosses OVER the masseter muscle

36
Q

What nerves pass thru the Jugular Forament

A

CN XI, X, and IX (not XII)

37
Q

What nerves are located in the infratemporal fossa?

A

Mandibular/Inferior Alveolar Nerve, Lingual Nerve, Posterior Palatine Nerve (NOT pterygopalatine ganglion)

38
Q

What type of gland is the Parotid gland?

A

100% serous

39
Q

What nerve passage is associated with the parotid gland?

A

Petrosal

40
Q

What is another name for the mandibular fossa?

A

Glenoid fossa

41
Q

What is another name for the TMJ ligament and what is its function?

A

TMJ ligament = Collateral Ligament; helps to hold the articular disc in place over the head of the condyle

42
Q

What major veins drain into the pterygoid plexus?

A

Maxillary v., Deep facial v., Infraborbital v.

43
Q

What does the term “ANTRUM” refer to?

A

Antrum refers to a sinus within a bone and may refer to the maxillary sinus specifically

44
Q

What bones make up the Orbit of the Eye?

A

The Maxillary bone is the Floor; The Lacrimal and Ethmoid bones make up the Mesial side; The Zygomatic bone makes up the Lateral Wall; Frontal bone makes up the superior border (roof)

45
Q

Define “OPERCULUM” and describe its clinical scignificance

A

Operculum is the extension of gingival tissue overlying the crown of an erupting tooth: often a third molar. Irritation and subsequent of this operculum can result in periodontitis

46
Q

Compare anomolies to malformations

A

Anomolies are deviations from the norm which are genetic/embryonic in nature. Malformations are non-genetic deviations from the norm.

47
Q

Define adontia

A

Absence of teeth

48
Q

How common is total adontia?

A

Very uncommon; affects both Primary and Permanent teeth
