Q

What are odontomas?

A

Composed of enamel, dentin, and pulp tissue.

Q

What is the first thing you should do to a permanent incompletely erupted molar?

A

Removal of soft tissue and bond covering the occlusal aspect of the crown, then the area should be packed with surgical cement to provide a pathway for the developing permanent tooth

Next, you should do a luxation technique by rocking it the tooth and repeated in 6 months. A delay in treatment may result in a permanently ankylosed molar.

Q

Q

What happens if cells form the enamel epithelium become more fully differentiated or detached from the enamel organ?

A

They produce enamel and dentin which results in a odontoma or supernumerary tooth

11
