DEH 103: Histology & Embryology

Chapters 5 & 6: Development, Eruption, and Shedding of Teeth

Chapters 5 & 6: Development, Eruption, and Shedding of Teeth


Kelsie Orndorff
This flashcard set delves into the intricate details of histology and embryology, focusing on tooth development, structure, and the various phases of eruption. It covers key aspects like enamel formation, root development, and the roles of cells such as ameloblasts and odontoblasts. The set is particularly useful for university students studying medical sciences, offering a comprehensive overview of dental anatomy and the processes involved in tooth formation and function.

This is the phase after teeth are functioning and as long as theya re present.

Functional phase

How long does it take for root formation to be completed?

  • 1-1.5 years for primary teeth after occlusion is made
  • 2-3 years for permenent teeth after occlusion is made

What are 4 types of tooth movement?

  1. Occlusal / incisal
  2. Horizontal
  3. Rotation & lateral movement
  4. Mesial drift

What is mesial drift?

Lateral movemement of the tooth on both sides of the mouth, woards the mildline. Contacts wear due to mastication. Pressure on the mesila side of the scoket causes resprotion of lamina dura and tension of the PDL on the disal side which causes growth and shit in the position of tooth socket.

True/False:

1st permanent molars develop approximately where they will erupt. However, mandibular 2nd and 3rds develop in the ramus with the occlusal table pointed distal?

False: 2nd and 3rd are in the ramus with the occlusal table pointed mesial

Where do maxillary 2nd and 3rd molars develop and what direction is their occlusal tables pointed?

  • Maxillary tuberosity
  • Occlusal surfaces bucally & distal

This is the term for 2 dentitions (primary / permenent).

Diphyodont

This is the loss of primary dentition by the physiologic resorption of their roots.

Shedding

What are some key deifferences in primary and permenent dentiion?

  • Primary enamel is prismless
  • Primary enamel is 1/2 as thick
  • Primary enamel is less pigmented
  • Primary dentin softer
  • Primary pulps larger
  • Primary have less nerves
