51
process of making enamel is called and is made by ?
amelogenesis, ameloblasts, these originate from ectoderm
52
what happens to ameloblasts when tooth erupts
they become desensitiezed
53
what 2 properties make enamel special
complex organization of matrix makes it hard, the mineralization makes it so it can withstand acids.
54
how is enamel organized
rods & interrods ( sometimes rod sheaths)
55
thickness of enamel
incisal ridges- 2mm, cusps of PM- 2.3-2.5, cusps of molars 2.5-3mm
56
T/F, each cusp comes from one single ossification center?
F, they have their own
57
describe what an enamel rod looks like
a tennis racket
58
what does a rod sheath do?
cements inter-rod
59
enamel anatomy
enamel rod, head, & tail
60
describe enamel lamella, stria of retzius, enamel tufts, and DEJ
describe them
61
what is gnarled enamel
group of enamel rods intertwined with adjacent rods. This adds strength. ( think knots in tree stump)
62
what are hunter schreger bands
optical appearances in enamel
63
what are enamel tufts
start in dentin and end in enamel, may play a role in spreading of caries
64
whats the purpose of enamel lamellae?
weak area predisposing a tooth to bacteria and caries
65
striae of retzius
growth rings of enamel, usually stain red
66
imbrication line of pickerill & perikymata
perikymata- elevated grooves | pickerill- valley of gooves ( these are kind of wavy)

prismless enamel and where its found.
outer layer of enamel found mostly towards cervical area. Its ~30micrometers thick.

70
formation of dentin is____ and is by ____
dentinogenesis, odontoblasts
71
what are tomes fibers
long cytoplasmic cell processes of odontoblasts
72
is dentin dead or alive?
alive, it responds to stimuli
73

odontoblasts which differentiate from ectomesenchymal cells. These are neural crest origin
74
mesenchymal cells can differentiate into what
lymphatic, circulatory and connective tissues
75
name 3 phases of tooth development

describe the dentin tubule and tomes fiber relationship

starting most superficial name the types of dentin
mantle, primary, secondodary, predentin tertiary( spots by root)

primary dentin
"circumpulpal dentin", mantle dentin is actually part of primary dentin and is mineralized differently.

secondary dentin
thin layer between primary and predentin. Secondary dentin formation is much slower than primary
88
what is pulp recession
deposition of secondary dentin around the pulp is asymmetrical
89
whats the purpose of the sclerose of secondary dentin
reduces the overall permeability of the dentin protecting the pulp
90
tertiary dentin
"reactive dentin", is produced in reaction to various stimuli ( attrition, caries, or dental procedures)
91
what are the 2 classifications of tertiary dentin?
reactionary, reparative.
92
root dentin formation is by
requires proliferation of hertwigs epithelial root sheath
93
where do hertwigs cells come from?
cervical loop of the enamel organ. These cells differentiate into odontoblasts
94
what happens first tooth eruption or root formation?
when the tooth erupts the root formation is 2/3 done
95
epithelial rests of malassez cells
from fragmented rooth sheath. May participate in maintenance and regeneration of periodontal tissues
96
cementum
hard tissue that covers the anatomic roots, formed by cementoblasts, develop from mesenchymal cells in dental follicle
97
cementum %'s
45-55 hydroxyapatite, 50-55 % organic water and water
98
what are sharpeys fibers?
little extentions of PDL that anchor in the cementum and alveolar bone
99
T/F, Cementum is vascular
false
100
Name the 2 types of cementum
acellular, cellular
101
acellular cementum
** cementum is living**, acellular is mostly on coronal half of root
102
cellular cementum
mostly on oapical half of root.
103
Active eruption
normal movement the body does to position tooth in oral cavity
104
passive eruption
lengthening of crown do to loss of attachment or recession of gingiva
105
functions of incisors
cut food, enable articulate speech, help support lip and maintain esthetic appearance, guide mandible posteriorly when closing mouth
106
name the 5 sides of a tooth
mesial, distal, facial, lingual, incisal/occlusal
107
developmental lobes
tooth crowns develop from lobes or primary growth centers
108
name the facial lobes of an incisor
mesial, middle, distal,
109
name the lingual surfaces of an incisor
cingulum
110
width of incisal roots
wider faciolingually than mediodistally( exception is maxillary central incisor
