Day 4 Flashcards
Post:
Remove cap of gutta percha, #3 GG bur in canal – go to post prep length, rubber of GP will wrap around bur. If 70 file binds at prep length, go 2 sizes higher and file away.
After post is placed, core material placed around post. Sometimes post and core called “
gutta percha cleanout.”
Take working length – —-mm. What is left is the amount of space you have for post space. Gates Gliddens are a max of 19mm. If you have 25mm working length, it is fine to be a bit short of 5mm remaning. Not a big deal honestly.

Pulp - Primary function is
FORMATIVE
Pulp tissue odontoblasts dentin enamel
Pulp - Secondary functions
Tooth sensitivity
Hydration
defense
Development of the Pulp
——- (ectomesenchyme) migrate in and mix with cells of local ——–.
Bud stage: ——- condensing around the tooth germ
Cap stage: condensed —— within invagination leads to —–
Bell stage: ———— differentiation; —– is now “pulp.”
Neural crest cells
mesenchymal origin
ectomesenchyme
ectomesenchyme
dental papilla
ameloblast and odontoblast
dental papilla
Late cap stage
IDE differentiates into ameloblasts
No enamel yet
DP not differentiated into odontoblasts yet
Later cap stage
Odontoblasts forming from dental papilla
Now we have dental pulp (DP).
Ameloblasts fully differentiated
No enamel yet
Bell stage
Odontoblasts laying down dentin
Very little enamel still
Root Formation
Begins at the —–
cervical loop
Cervical loop
The point where the cells of the inner and outer dental epithelia meet
Root formation - Initiated by
Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath
HERS is the apical proliferations of the ———
fused inner and outer dental epithelia
HERS signals differentiation of —– and acts as a template for the root
odontoblasts
Cell proliferation in the root sheath is — determined.
genetically
—— binds cementum to dentin
Hyaline layer of Hopewell-Smith
Size and location of the apical foramen influences
blood flow to the pulp and determines how it reacts to traumatic events (i.e. young teeth with bigger foramina and large pulps recover better)
Posteruptive deposition of cementum at the apex creates the difference in
location of radiographic apex and anatomic location of apical foramen.
Induction
Initiates development of dentin, which then induces enamel formation
