36
Define a mesiodens
a supernumerary tooth found at the midline of the palate between the maxillary central incisors

38
Define Anodontia
lack of teeth
39
What are the two types of anodontial
total and partial
40
Define total anodontia
A large number or all of the teeth are missing (Teeth didn't form)
41
Define partial anodontia
One or a few teeth don't form
42
Is anodontia genetic?
yes
43
Can anodontia occur in deciduous dentition
yes-but unlikely
44
Most common tooth impacted by anodontia in deciduous teeth
mandibular central incisor
45
Most common teeth influenced by anodontia in permanent dentition
- 3rd molar
- Maxillary lateral incisor
- Mandibular 2nd premolar
46
Define pseudoanodontia
Large number of teeth have not erupted but have all formed (are impacted)
47
Define impacted
Teeth that either partially erupt or do not erupt at all.
48
Common reason why teeth become impacted
obstruction
49
Tooth that is most commonly impacted is
third molars
50
Define transpostion
When teeth are out of place (i.e first premolar is mesial to a canine v.s distal to it)
51
Define neonatal teeth
Deciduous teeth present at time of birth
52
What is microdontia/macrodontia
Teeth are smaller/bigger than normal
53
What are the two types of macro/microdontia
true and false
54
define true macro/microdontia
All teeth are abnormally large or small
55
Define false micro/macrodontia
individual teeth are large/small
56
Microdontia is a result of
pituitary dwarfism
57
Macrodontia is a result of
pituitary gigantism
58
What is a peg tooth
A tooth with incomplete crown formation
59
What tooth is most commonly seen as a peg tooth
maxillary lateral incisors
60

premolars
61
What lobes develop in peg teeth and which ones do not?
Do- The lingual and middle

most often seen on the cingulum
64
what tooth is commonly seen with talon cusps
maxillary lateral incisors

T/F A talon cusp can not contain a pulp horn
F- they can
66
What is an enamel pearl
small spherical nodule of enamel surrounding dentin core
67
Where do enamel pearls attach
to the roots of molars- most commonly at the furcation area
68
What issues can an enamel pearl lead to
periodontal problems
69
Why must you be careful when grinding away an enamel pearl
they may contain pulp horns
70
Taurodontia is characterized by...
pulp chamber that's very long without a constriction at the CEJ
71
T/F: Taurodontia only occurs in permanent teeth
t
72
Name two different distortion of tooth formation as a result of traumatic injury or pressure on developing teeth
flexion and dilaceration
73
Define flexion
Occurs when injury happens later in development and the distortion (bending) is only found in the root
74
Define dilaceration
Occurs earlier in development Distortion (bending) in both crown and root
75
How can tetracycline stain happen
by taking the antibiotic tetracycline during the time of teeth formation
76
What part of the tooth does the antibiotic tetracycline stain?
Dentin
77
Define enamel hypoplasia/enamel hypocalcification
Dysplasia of enamel due to a disturbance at the time of enamel formation
78
What is amelogenesis imperfecta
dysplasia (lack of) enamel-
79
Is amelogenesis imperfecta genetic?
Yes
80
What is the cause of amelogenesis imperfecta
faulty ameloblasts
81
Consequences of amelogenesis imperfect
teeth are anesthetic, easily worn down, and prone to rampant decay
82
What is dentinogenesis imperfect
genetic disturbance of dentin formation resulting in bluish brown anesthetic crowns, little or no pulp chambers form
83
Whey are those with dentinogenesis imperfect prone to fracture
because the enamel is under poor dentinal support
84
What is ectodermal dysplasia
genetic condition resulting in defective formation of ectodermal structures
85

a benign tooth tumor

91
What are the two types of odontoma
Complex and compound
92
Define complex odontoma
One mass of calcified dental tissues without recognizable tooth form attached to a tooth or located separately in alveolar bone

calcified dental tissue that is arranged in recognizable tooth forms
