25
Lower compartment (condyle-articular disc) function
only a hinge-type or rotary motion can occur.
26
Upper compartment (mandibular fossa-articular disc) function
only sliding movements or translatory motion can occur.
27
The mn is moved in a number of planes: 1. frontal plane 2. horizontal plane 3. sagittal plane
1. up and down 2. side to side 3. forwards and backwards
28
Centric occlusion or intercuspal position is a what position?
tooth-guided
29
Rest position of the mn or postural position is a what position?
muscle-guided position
30
Centric relation or the retruded contact position--is a what position?
ligament-guided position
31
PDL have which fibers
principal fibers which are collagenous. They're terminal portion are termed Sharpey's fibers
32
Principal fibers are arranged in what 6 groups
``` transseptal fibers alveolar crest fibers horizontal fibers oblique fibers apical fibers interradicular fibers ```
33
transseptal fibers
keep teeth aligned | belong to gingiva because do not have osseous attachment.
34
alveolar crest fibers
prevent the extrusion of the tooth and resist lateral tooth movements.
35
oblique fibers
largest group in PDL | Bear the brunt of vertical masticatory stresses and tranform them into tension on the alveolar bone.
36
apical fibers
do not occur on incompletely formed roots
37
Cell types in PDL
fibroblasts-most common cementoblasts osteoblasts
38
non-keratinized oral tissue
buccal mucosa soft palate floor of mouth junctional epithelium
39
Peridontium has 2 parts
Gingiva | Attachment apparatus
40
Attachment apparatus composed of:
PDL Cementum Alveolar process of the maxillae and mandible
41
Function of cementum
support for the fibers of PDL
42
Collagen type in reticular fibers
Type III
43
Collagen fibers in basal lamina
Type IV
44
Amt of collagen in a tissue is determined by
hydroxyproline
45
3 sources of blood supply to gingiva
supraperiosteal arterioles vessels of PDL Arterioles-emerge from crest
46
supraperiosteal arterioles
along facial and lingual surfaces of the alveolar bone,
47
vessels of PDL
extend into gingiva and anastomose with capillaries in the sulcus area.
48
Functional matrix theory
Soft tissue is the primary determinant of growth Bone is responsive to soft tissue Deglutition influences mandibular growth The soft tissues of the brain expand thus pacing growth of the flat bones of the skull
49
Teratogen that causes cleft lip and palate
aspirin, valium, dilantin, cigarette smoke (hypoxia)
50
teratogen that causes microcephaly
x-radiation
51
teratogen that causes central mid-face discrepancy
ehtyl alcohol
52
teratogen that causes premature suture closure
Vitamin D excess
53
teratogen that causes microcephaly, hydrocephaly, microphthalmia
Cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma
54
teratogen that causes microphthalmia (1 eye smaller than other or both small), cataracts, deafness
Rubella virus
55
sulcular epithelium
thin, nonkeratinized stratifed squamous epi without rege pegs. Lines gingival sulcus.
56
PDL function
Nutritive: contains a vascular network providing nutrients to its cells Sensory: contains afferent nerve fibers responsible for pain, pressure, proprioception. Support Formative Remodeling
57
Two types of nerves in PDL
1. afferent or sensory, which is myelinated and transmits sensation. 2. Autonomic sympathetic, which regulates the blood vessels
58
2 types of nerve endings in PDL
1. free nerve endings; convey pain | 2. encapsulated nerve endings; convey pressure.
59
Sheding of Primary Teeth
Max: 6-7-10-9-10 Mn: 6-7-9-9-10
60
Shedding of Permanent Teeth
Mx: 7-8-11-10 to 11-10 to 12-6-12-17(-21) Mn: 6-7-9-10 to 12-11-6-11-17
61
Cells found in pulp
fibroblasts odontoblasts undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
62
Autonomic Nerve fibers
only sumpathtic autonomic fibers found in the pulp. | Unmyelinated fibers that travel to blood vessels
63
Afferent (Sensory) fibers
Predominately myelinated fibers | Form nerve plexus of Raschkow.
64
Pulp functions
nutritive sensory protective
65
dentinogenesis imperfecta
genetic disturbance of dentin formation crown has opalescence (bluish-brown color) Weak teeth, subject to attrition
66
Turner's hypoplasia
individual teeth exhibit a disturbance of enamel maturation due to a developmental disturbance like trauma or infection. Due to trauma. periapical infection of primary predecessor can cause it.
67
Hutchinson'a teeth
sign of congenital syphillis.
68
Mottled enamel
aka dental fluorosis.
69
Temporomandibular ligament limits
amt of opening and retrusion of mn. | Initates downward motion of condyle
70
Flexion
bend in only the root of the tooth due to trauma. Less than 90 degrees, in apical 1/3/
71
Partial anodontia
aka hypodontia | 2 missing teeth
