Q

Explain the process of reciprocal induction during dentinogenesis and amelogenesis
4

A
  1. As ectomesenchyme of first brachial arch grows down and forwards it comes into contact with oral epithelium
  2. Inductive signals (cytokine growth factors) are released from oral epithelium to extomesenchyme causing odontoblast differentiation
  3. At the same time ectomesenchyme feeds back to oral epithelium to regulate pattern of amelogenisis
  4. Dentine formation is required before enamel can begin to form hence reciprocal induction

Q

What happens during cap stage

A

Epithelial bud grows down to form a cap called the dental organs

Q

What is taurodontism

What is turners tooth

A

A malformed multi rooted tooth characterised by normal lengthen crown, abnormally short roots and large pulp chamber extending deeply into roots

Tooth with area of localised enamel hypoplasia resulting in area of white or yellow discolouration possibly caused by trauma of associated primary tooth with periapical inflammatory lesion

Q

What are hutchinsons incisors

What are mulberry/moon molars

A

Permanent incisors of abnormal shape in which Incisal edges are notched and narrower than cervical region

Small domed first permanent molars sometimes seen in patients with congenital syphilis

17
Q

What is adontia

What is hypotonia

What is hyperdontia

A

Congenital absence of teeth

Decrease in number of teeth

Presence of more teeth than normal

18
Q

What is the difference between exogenous stains and endogenous stains

A

Exogenous stains are intrinsic stains acquired after tooth eruption

Endogenous stains are intrinsic stains acquired during tooth development

19
Q

What is fluorosis

What is amelogenesis imperfecta

A

Fluoride excess leading to hypo mineralisation ranging from chalky white spot to dark staining

A group of hereditary defects of the matrix of mineralisation of enamel causing it to be hypoplastic, hypocalcified, hypomatured

20
Q

What is dentinogenesis imperfecta

What is dentin dysplasia
Type 1
Type 2

A

A hereditary condition affecting Dentin formation characterised by early calcification of pulp chamber and dark opalescent yellow/grey discolouration of teeth, early loss of enamel leads to attrition

Autosomal dominant defect in Dentine development
Type 1 has normal crown appearance but little or no root development or pulp
Type 2 leads to primary teeth with brown/blue discolouration with no pulp then adult teeth with enlarged pulp chamber

32
Explain bone remodelling theory of tooth eruption Evidence for and against
The selective absorption and deposition of bone causes eruption Tooth eruption is prevented when there is a deficiency of osteoclasts It is not clear if bone resorption causes tooth movement or tooth movement causes bone resorption
33
Explain root formation theory of tooth eruption Evidence against
As root develops cellular proliferation occurs generating force against cushion hummock ligament causing eruption Some believe this ligament is just a membrane with no bony attachment Some teeth erupt further than their corresponding root formation Some teeth erupt without full root formation
34
Explain vascular pressure theory of tooth eruption Evidence for and against
Increased vascular pressure generates force causing eruption Increasing hydrostatic pressure of blood vessels increases eruption speed Stimulation of sympathetic nerves causing vasoconstriction decreases eruption speed Hydrostatic pressure not sufficient to sustain eruption for long periods of time
35
Explain PDL traction theory Evidence for and against
Fibroblasts in dental follicle contract to generate force causing eruption Tooth eruption is prevented when there is a deficiency of osteoclasts Fibroblasts don’t have contractile elements Contractile collagen fibres connected to fibroblasts do not insert into bone during early eruption
