Q

what happens in odontoblast differentiation in the pre-odontoblast stage

A

-complete differentiation of odontoblasts required a set number of replications to express necessary receptors to recognize growth factors
- the GF then help odontoblasts differentiate resulting in a mature odontoblast and a daughter cell that is forced into the subodontoblastic layer

exaggerated von ebner lines caused by hesitations in maturation stages of the dentin
53
what is the neonatal line
exaggerated von ebner line caused by trauma from birth -whatever part of the tooth was forming at the time of birth will hold and then continue on

55
what kind of stain results from tetracyclin
deep intrinsic stain
56
what is reparative dentin/tertiary dentin
dentin deposited by newly differentiated odontoblasts at the site of pulpal trauma -a defensive reaction attempting to wall off the pulp from the site of injury (caries)

when carious lesion reaches DEJ it will form at the pulp interface of the dentin
58
what is the process of reparative dentin formation
cells in the subodontoblastic layer once exposed to growth factros released by stimulated pulpal cells differentiate and form the matrix of reparative dentin
59
what is the goal of reparative dentin
wall off the site of injury and protect the pulp from more damage
60
what is pulp capping/pulpotomy
process of removing infected pulp and pulp capping it. caused injury to pulp so a bridge of reparative dentin in root canal can form to protect the tooth and save it from having to get a root canal
61
what is dentinogenesis imperfecta
hereditary defect that results in bluish gray teeth with an apalescent sheen
62
describe the enamel and dentin in dentinogenesis imperfecta
-the enamel is normal but chips off due to lack of support by the abnormal dentin - very little connection between enamel and dentin due to lack of enamel tufts
63
describe the pulp chambers in dentinogenesis imperfecta
pulp chambers and canals are usually obliterated by defective dentin formation
64

actinomyces viscosus
77
what is the dental caries process from enamel to dentin to pulp
enamel: a substantial cavitation is produced beneath the adjacent enamel surface. initally the caries lesion exhibits a small opening in the enamel and a pyramidal shaped dentin lesion with the apex of the pyramid pointing towards the tooth pulp dentin: as it reaches DEJ it spreads laterally due to branching of dentinal tubules at the DEJ and then penetrates towards the pulp within the dentinal tubules pulp: pulp necrosis can occur due to overwhelming of the pulpal tissue with carious lesions

1 in 5 people

83
what is the direct innervation theory
direct stimulation of nerve endings in dentinal tubules
84
what is the transduction theory
stimulation of odontoblasts that are coupled to nerves in the pulp
85
what is brannstroms hydrodynamic theory
stimulation of dentinal tubules or exposed odontoblastic cell processes causes movement of tissue fluids within dentinal tubules that stimulate nerve endings in close associcated with dentin at the dentin/pulpal interface
86
what is brannstroms hydrodyanmic theory rooted in and what is it
charles law- the volume of gas or fluid is directly protportional to the amount of heat applied at a constant pressure
87
what does charles law say if heat is applied to the tooth
the volume of the fluid in the tubules increases stimulating nerve endings
88
what does charles law say if cold is applied to the tooth
volume of fluid in the tubules decreases stimulating nerve endings
