Type III

What is the disturbance in tooth formation that produces a sharp bend or curve in the tooth (root or crown)?

Dilaceration

What is the feature of Taurodont teeth that distinguishes it from other dental conditions?

Longitudinally enlarged pulp chambers

Which type of Amelogenesis Imperfecta leads to marked changes in the enamel of all or nearly all the teeth in both dentitions?

What is the most common location for external root resorption?

Root surface

Which of the following is a possible cause of external root resorption?

Localized inflammatory lesions

Radiopaque structures within pulp chambers or root canals

Which condition does not require treatment according to the text?

Pulp stones

What is the etiology of pulpal sclerosis?

Diffuse process of pulpal calcification

What is the radiographic appearance of early pulpal sclerosis?

Radiolucent foci in the dental pulp

Which structure is lost around the apex when external root resorption occurs as a result of a periapical inflammatory lesion?

Lamina dura

What is the most common type of lesion in the dental pulp?

Pulp stones

Which condition is characterized by atypical dentin formation and abnormal pulp morphology?

Dentin Dysplasia, Type I

What is the dental abnormality that is usually localized to a certain area, affects the enamel, dentin, and pulp of teeth, and is non-hereditary?

Regional Odontodysplasia

What is the condition characterized by the presence of small globules of enamel on the roots of molars and may cause food stagnation at the gingival margin?

Enamel Pearl

Which dental condition manifests as a well-delineated additional cusp located on the surface of an anterior tooth?

Talon Cusp

What is the type of resorption that affects the inner surface of the pulp chamber and canal?

Internal resorption

What condition results from a chemical action not involving bacteria and is usually found on incisors, often involving multiple teeth?

Erosion

Which dental condition involves the physiologic wearing away of the dentition resulting from occlusal contacts between upper and lower teeth?

Attrition

Which condition is characterized by the condition in which two teeth have exchanged positions?

Transposition

What is the term for the rare anomaly that arises when the tooth bud of a single tooth attempts to divide?

Gemination

What condition results from the combining of adjacent tooth germs, resulting in union of the developing teeth?

Fusion

Which condition occurs when the roots of two or more teeth are united by cementum?

Concrescence

What term is used when teeth are larger than normal or occur in smaller than normal jaws?

Macrodontia

What condition results from the combining of adjacent tooth germs, resulting in union of the developing teeth?

Fusion

In which condition are all teeth smaller than normal and may occur in some cases of pituitary dwarfism?

Microdontia

Hypodontia refers to the absence of numerous teeth.

False

Fusion of teeth results from the combining of adjacent tooth germs, resulting in union of the developing teeth.

True

Microdontia can commonly affect the maxillary lateral incisors and third molars.

True

Gemination is a rare anomaly that arises when the tooth bud of a single tooth attempts to divide.

True

Missing teeth, abnormal occlusion, or altered facial appearance may cause psychologic distress in patients.

True

Macrodontia refers to teeth that are smaller than normal.

False

Transposition typically involves the exchange of positions between permanent canine and first premolar.

True

Supernumerary teeth characteristically found in cleidocranial dysostosis.

True

Supernumerary teeth are always inherited abnormalities.

False

Mesiodens occur between the mandibular central incisors.

False

External root resorption can occur as a result of a periapical inflammatory lesion.

True

Pulp stones have a radiographic appearance that includes globules of enamel on the roots of molars.

False

Supplemental teeth always have abnormal morphology.

False

Dens in Dente is characterized by the presence of small globules of enamel on the roots of molars.

False

Acquired abnormalities result from changes to teeth before normal formation.

False

Most supernumerary teeth never erupt and may cause other dental problems.

True

Amelogenesis Imperfecta can affect both primary and permanent dentition.

True

Dens Evaginatus is more likely to affect premolars than any other tooth.

True

Taurodontism is characterized by longitudinally enlarged pulp chambers.

True

Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta results in teeth showing yellowish-brown color due to exposed dentin.

True

Dilaceration is a disturbance in tooth formation that produces a sharp bend or curve in the tooth (root or crown).

True

Dens in Dente can be classified into three major types based on its extent within the tooth.

True

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta leads to distinctive translucence and blue to brown discoloration.

True

Gemination of a tooth results in one root, one root canal, and a partially bifid dental crown.

False

Dentin dysplasia, type II, affects the color of both primary and permanent dentition.

False

Regional odontodysplasia is a hereditary condition affecting the maxillary anterior teeth.

False

Enamel pearls are small globules of enamel that occur on the crowns of molars.

False

Attrition is a physiologic wearing away of the dentition that results from occlusal contacts between upper and lower teeth.

True

Erosion results from a chemical action involving bacteria, often affecting multiple teeth near the gingiva.

False

Internal resorption is initiated by acute trauma to the tooth and direct pulp capping.

True

Acquired abnormalities that cause tooth loss have no clinical significance.

False

Congenital syphilis causes dental hypoplasia only in first molars.

False

External resorption most commonly involves the crown of an unerupted tooth.

True

Pulp stones are foci of rarefaction in the dental pulp.

False

Pulpal sclerosis is a radiographically demonstrable degenerative process.

False

Pulp stones always require treatment.

False

External root resorption can occur as a result of periapical inflammatory lesions, leading to the loss of lamina dura around the apex.

True

Pulpal sclerosis may produce a generalized, ill-defined collection of fine radiopacities throughout large areas of the pulp chamber and pulp canals.

True

Pulp stones are radiolucent structures within pulp chambers or root canals.

False

External root resorption is always due to excessive mechanical (orthodontic) and occlusal forces.

False

Learn about dental management techniques for affected teeth, including removal, restoration, reshaping, and periodic examination to prevent complications. Explore specific cases such as fusion of mandibular incisors and gemination of incisors.
