25
where do teeth associated with hyperdontia usually erupt?
95% max, usually anterior *mesiodens, distodens, paramolar
26
what is the tx for hyperdontia?
removal may be indicated to avoid complications related to normal eruption and occlusion
27
condition in which the teeth are smaller than usual (may also affect shape), most commonly affects max laterals and 3rds
microdontia
28
what is the tx for microdontia?
restorative tx as needed
29
2 tooth buds merge to form single large tooth RESULTING IN LESS TEETH IN THE ARCH
fusion
30
what do the two teeth share in fusion?
share cementum and dentin HAVE SEPARATE root canals
31
uncommon condition, characterized by the fusion of two teeth by the cementum alone
concresence
32
where does concresence usually occur?
posterior maxilla *clinically significant if one of the teeth needs to be extracted
33
rare condition that primarily affects the max incisors that is basically an exaggerated cingulum
talon cusp
34
severe talon cups may interfere with what?
occlusion
35
condition of an extra cusp in central developmental groove. tooth often becomes NON-VITALpresumably due to attrition or trauma to cusp
dens evaginatus
36
where is dens evaginatus most likely to occur?
mandib premolar teeth
37
uncommon condition that is a "tooth within a tooth"
dens invaginatus (dens in dente)
38
which teeth are most commonly affected by dens invaginatus (dens in dente)
max lateral incisors
39
what causes dens invaginatus (dens in dente)
invagination of blood *affected tooth often becomes non-vital shortly after eruption
40
droplets of ectopic enamel usually around the furcations of max or mandib molars
enamel pearls *may be deteted by probing, if mistaken for calculus may lead to exposure
41
what might enamel pearls have?
dentin and pulp horns
42
uncommon radiographic finding and the enlargement of the body and pulp chamber of a multirooted tooth leading to apical displacement of pulpal floor and furcation
taurodontism *similar to bovine dentition
43
what causes taurodontism
chromosomal alterations associated with various syndromes
44
unusual incidental radiographic finding in ADULTS that is asymptomatic deposition of excessive cementum
hypercementosis
45
what causes hypercementosis?
local and systemic factors | -strong association with piaget's disease of bone
46
is tx needed for hypercementosis?
no *complications with extractions
47
unusual radiographic finding of curvature/bend of tooth roots
dilaceration
48
what causes dilaceration?
trauma in developing tooth *extraction or RCT may be difficult
49
group of uncommon genetic disorders affecting enamel of teeth, weak enamel is easily lost, varied pattern of inheritance, and affects both primary and permanent teeth
amelogenesis imperfecta
50
what are the three main divisions of amelogenesis imperfecta?
- hypoplastic - hypomaturation - hypocalcified
51
division of amelogenesis imperfecta that is insufficient deposition of enamel matrix
hypoplastic
52
division of amelogenesis imperfecta that is the enamel matrix is laid down but not mature
hypomaturation
53
divison of amelogenesis imperfecta in which zero maturation in ECM but the ECM is laid down correctly
hypocalcified
54
what are the clinical findings of amelogenesis imperfecta?
rough, smooth, pitted, pigmented or "snow-capped" enamel
55
what are the radiographic findings of amelogenesis imperfecta?
thin enamel of normal or decreased density normal root and pulp morphology
56
uncommon abnormality of dentin formation that affects BOTH the permanent and primary dentition
dentinogenesis imperfecta
57
what kind of disease is dentinogenesis imperfecta?
autosomal dominant inheritance * due to mutation of the DSPP gene * "dentin sialophosphoprotein"
58
what are the clinical findings of dentinogenesis imperfecta?
- teeth appear transleucent "opalescent teeth" | - enamel is normal but poorly supported, rapid attrition of dentition is often seen
59
what are the radiographic findings of dentinogenesis imperfecta?
bulbous crowns and obliteration of pulps *similar changes may be seen with osteogenesis imperfecta
60
what is the tx of dentinogenesis imperfecta?
management depends on the severity of gene expression | -may require little restorative care, however implants and/or overdentures are necessary in many cases
61
what are the two types of dentin dysplasia
type I: radicular dentin dysplasia | type II: coronal dentin dysplasia
62
what type of inheritance is dentin dysplasia?
autosomal dominant inheritance
63
type of dentin dysplasia that involves radicular roots that are very short "rootless" teeth, obliteration of pulp canal, and periapical radioleucencies
type I: radicular dentin dysplasia
64
type of dentin dysplasia that involves enlarged pulps with "thisle tube" appearance and pulp stones
type II: coronal dentin dysplasia
65
clinically, how do teeth with dentin dysplasia appear?
normal
