Q

Tooth Form and Jaw Movement

A

Bunodont and isognathous- tooth bearing cusps, or equal jaw

Anisognathous is unequal jawed

Humans are not perfectly isognathous due to maxillary arch overlapping mandibular; purely up and down movement seen in cats, dogs, pigs (up and down then is typically bunodont)

Lateral movement is seen in extreme in giraffes, camels and ox

more complex movement requires coordination of muscles, teeth, jaws, joints, and bones

Q

Facial and Lingual

A

All show trapezoid in various dimensions; shortest at base of crown and widest at working surfaces or occlusal line; works so that the interproximal spaces may accommodate the tissues; spacing of the roots allows for enough bone to properly anchor the root; each crown must contact with adjacent teeth to protect gingival tissue during mastication, also for occlusal stability; each tooth has 2 anatogonists in opposing arch- except the mandibular incisor and maxillary 3rd molar

Q

Mesial and distal aspects of maxillary posterior teeth

A

Trapezoid figures with longest side at base of crown; occlusal is constricted so that the tooth can be forced into the food more easily; otherwise more force would be required in chewing

Q

Alignment, contacts, and occlusion

A

When teeth come into contact with opposing teeth, in any functional relation, they are said to be in occlusion

Malocclusion is where there is a deviation in this relation

19
Q

Restorations- occlusion

A

Restorations should always be directed in the long axis of the tooth; otherwise will be negative feedback from receptors in the periodontium

20
Q

Buccal and lingual contours

A

Buccal and lingual contours have influence in the way food is directed away from gingival tissues; Food impaction, impinging trauma from rough foods; accumulation of dental plaque; over and under contouring of restorations should be avoided

21
Q

Interproximal form

A

Proximal contacts of approximating teeth in the arch protect the soft tissue (gingiva) between the teeth and are referred to as interproximal spaces- Leave room for gingival tissue; Correct proximal tooth contacts and marginal ridges- no contacts results in impigment of tissues and food impaction;

gingiva within the interproximal space is called the gingival papilla

22
Q

Cervical line

A

The cervical line is a stable anatomical demarcation- the gingival line represents the gingival level on the tooth at any one period in the individual’s life

Misalignment of the teeth may change the gingival line, which is not conducive to the health of tissue; dehiscence is a cleft or partial absence of bone over root

Fenestration is a window in the bone over a root

23
Q

Cervicoenamel ridge

A

Curvature of the crown above the cervical line; don’t over or under contour this

24
Q

Root form

A

Roots flare for stabilization- cusp tip to cusp tip buccolingually is much less than the buccolingual diameter of the root base; overall form depends on the work the tooth has to do; angle- incisal ridge or cusp is centered over the root

25
Q

Occlusal curvature

A

Occlusal plane is curved from anterior to posterior and is called the Curve of Spee

Curvature from mesial to distal or left to right is called the curve of Wilson- lingual inclination of the mandibular molars

26
Q

Differences between posterior teeth and anterior teeth

A

Greater buccolingual (faciolingual) measurement compared to mesiodistal; broader contact areas; contact areas more nearly at the same level; less curvature of cervical line mesial and distal; shorter crown cervico- occlusally

27
Q

Premolars General

A

4 maxillary/ 4 mandibular;
upper and lower 4,5 in Palmer system; Universal system- maxillary 4,5,12,13
mandibular 20,21,28,29

Premolars (named because anterior to molars) also bicuspids (not proper)

maxillary premolars develop from 4 lobes- same as anterior teeth, and resemble canines when viewed from the buccal; buccal cusp of the first is long and sharp and is used for tearing food; 2nd premolar has a cusp that is less sharp which makes this tooth more efficient in grinding; crown and root are shorter than canine; marginal ridges are more horizontal due to cusp development buccally and lingually thus become part of occlusal surface

28
Q

Maxillary First premolar overview

A

2 cusps, buccal and lingual with buccal 1mm longer than lingual; crown is angular with prominent buccal line angles; contact areas mesial and distal are about same level; mesial slope of the buccal cusp is longer than the distal (opposite of canine) most have 2 roots, 2 pulp canals even when only one root found

29
Q

Mesially, contact area is at middle third while distally, it is occlusally positioned which is an exception from other permanent posterior teeth. width of crown MD is about 2mm less at cervix than at greatest point; buccal cusp is long and fairly pointed before wear; buccal surface is convex showing a strong buccal ridge (max convexity at the cervical 1/3); will be developmental depressions (grooves) mesial and distal to the ridge; root will be 3-4mm shorter than canine; The M and D outline of the root tapers to a pointed apex that is slightly curved distally- if it has 2 roots, the lingual root is hidden behind the buccal root as it’s shorter and narrower than the buccal root; the surface of the root is convex and smooth

30
Q

Maxillary First premolar lingual aspect
