Study Notes
Tooth Eruption and Occlusion
-
Vertical Dimension of Rest:
- Resting jaw position measures 2-4mm apart.
- Lips touch while teeth and jaws do not contact.
-
Vertical Dimension of Occlusion:
- Determined by teeth clenching.
- Body attempts to maintain this dimension, necessary for proper function.
-
Effects of Edentulous State:
- Loss of vertical dimension occurs when teeth are absent.
Tooth Development Process
- Permanent teeth erupt lingually to temporary teeth, influenced by chewing patterns.
- Cementum is deposited at the apical area to maintain contact with opposing teeth.
- Epithelial Incursion begins with dental lamina, a specialized epithelial tissue.
Stages of Crown Development
- Initiation Stage:
- Dental lamina induces the formation of the epithelial bud.
- Epithelial Bud:
- Small rounded structure that develops as the dental lamina grows downward.
- Central cells can degenerate, creating the epithelial canal.
Tooth Eruption Indicators
- Cyanosis: Bluish discoloration of the mucosa signals where teeth will erupt.
- Hypersalivation: Increased saliva production associated with tooth eruption.
Deciduous Teeth Resorption
- Typically takes around three years for complete resorption of deciduous teeth.
- Central incisors: Eruption begins around 4 years old.
- Lateral incisors: Eruption occurs around 5 years old.
Enamel Formation Details
-
Enamel Rods and Prisms:
- Basic units of enamel created by ameloblasts.
- Arranged in a keyhole pattern, and rods extend from the DEJ to the outer surface.
-
Primary Enamel Cuticle:
- Last secretion from ameloblasts, covering the newly erupted crown.
- Replaced by secondary enamel cuticle from saliva.
Enamel Structure Variations
- Hunter-Schreger Bands:
- Light and dark bands due to changes in rod direction are visible under special light.
- Cross Striations:
- Lines crossing enamel rods marking daily growth at 4-micron intervals.
- Gnarled Enamel:
- Convoluted arrangements present at cusp tips and incisal edges.
Enamel Development Lines
- Neonatal Line:
- Distinct line indicating differences between prenatal and postnatal enamel deposition.
- Striae of Retzius:
- Manifestation of various growth patterns in enamel.
Clinical Considerations
-
Enamel Hypoplasia:
- Refers to a deficiency in enamel quantity due to disturbances in matrix formation before eruption.
-
Enamel Hypocalcification:
- Indicates deficient quality of enamel from disturbances during the mineralization process.
-
Primary Dentin:
- Formed until tooth eruption and completion of the apical foramen.
-
Secondary Dentin:
- Formed from the time the tooth becomes functional until it becomes nonvital.
