Study Notes
Tooth Development Stages
- Histophysiologic stage: involves deficient or excessive development
- Morphologic stage: counterparts of histophysiologic stage
Dental Anomalies
- Hyperdontia: excessive development, characterized by an increased number of teeth
- Hypodontia: deficient development, characterized by a decreased number of teeth
- Oligodontia: a type of hypodontia where there are only a few teeth present
- Odonto-ontia: a rare condition where there is a mass of dental tissue
Tooth Structure
- Enamel and dentin structure: affected in amelogenesis imperfecta type I (hypoplastic) and IV (hypoplastic/pumice-like)
- Amelogenesis imperfecta type II (hypomaturation) affects enamel maturation
- Amelogenesis imperfecta type IV affects enamel and dentin maturation
Tooth Size and Shape
- Microdontia: abnormally small teeth
- Macrodontia: abnormally large teeth
- Peg lateral: a type of microdontia where the tooth is small and peg-shaped
- Mulberry molars: a type of anomaly where the tooth has multiple small cusps
- Carabelli's cusp: a small extra cusp on the lingual surface of a tooth
- Taurodontism: a type of anomaly where the tooth has a large pulp chamber and short roots
Tooth Number and Structure
- Dens in dente: a type of anomaly where there is a small tooth-like structure inside a normal tooth
- Dens evaginatus: a type of anomaly where there is an extra cusp or tubercle on the tooth
- Gemination: a type of anomaly where two teeth are joined together
- Fusion: a type of anomaly where two teeth are joined together
- Concrescence: a type of anomaly where two teeth are joined together by cementum
Tooth Eruption
- Delayed eruption: delay in the eruption of teeth
- Natal/neonatal teeth: teeth that are present at birth
- Accelerated eruption: rapid eruption of teeth
