Study Notes

Hard Tissue Examination of the Dentition

Divisions of Human Dentition:
- Primary (Deciduous), Mixed (Transitional), and Permanent Dentition.
Primary Dentition:
- Formation begins in utero.
- Comprises 20 teeth.
Mixed Dentition:
- Occurs between ages 6-12.
- Involves the presence of both primary and permanent teeth.
Permanent Dentition:
- Consists of 32 teeth.
- Mineralization starts at birth, and roots fully develop approximately 3 years post-eruption.

Types of Dental Injuries and Fractures

Dental Charting:
- Involves recording existing restorations, lesions, and occlusal relationships.
Examination Procedures:
- Visual, clinical, and radiographic assessments to detect lesions and dental anomalies.
Types of Dental Injuries:
- Encompass attrition, erosion, abrasion, and abfraction.

Developmental and Noncarious Dental Lesions

Developmental Enamel Lesions:
- Include Enamel Hypoplasia, Hypomineralization, and Hypomaturation.
- Enamel Hypoplasia: Caused by disturbances during matrix formation.
- Hypomineralization: Occurs during the mineralization stage of enamel.
- Hypomaturation: Results in brittle enamel that fractures easily.
Developmental Defect of Dentin:
- Dentogenesis Imperfecta: Genetic condition leading to rapid wear and opalescent discoloration.
Noncarious Dental Lesions:
- Attrition: Tooth wear due to contact; prevalent in men.
- Erosion: Loss of tooth structure from chemical processes.
- Abrasion: Mechanical wear from non-masticatory forces.
- Abfraction: Loss resulting from flexing and microfractures in enamel/dentin.

Caries Development and Classification

Early Childhood Caries (ECC):
- Also known as Baby Bottle Decay; characterized by demineralization along the cervical region of primary teeth.
Requirements for Caries Development:
- Presence of microorganisms (Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus), fermentable carbohydrates, and susceptible tooth surfaces.
G.V. Black's Classification of Carious Lesions:
- Includes pitfalls like type I (single pit) and type V (cervical caries).

Occlusal Relationships

Normal vs. Malocclusion:
- Normal occlusion features ideal relationships, while malocclusion describes deviations.
Angle’s Classification:
- Class I: Normal bite.
- Class II: Retrognathic.
- Class III: Prognathic.
Occlusal Dynamics:
- Includes static (jaws closed) and dynamic (jaw movement during activities) occlusion metrics.

Recognition of Signs of Occlusal Trauma

Trauma Types:
- Primary trauma: Excessive force on a normally supported tooth.
- Secondary trauma: Normal force on a tooth with existing bone loss.
Signs of Occlusal Trauma:
- Increased tooth mobility and potential periodontal disease progression.

Proximal Contacts

Importance:
- Facilitate masticatory force dissipation, maintain tooth alignment, and prevent food impaction.
Loss Consequences:
- Potential impact on bone health leading to alveolar bone loss.

Fractures and Injuries

Assessment Techniques:
- Visual distinctions in color and translucency, combined with clinical and radiographic methods for comprehensive evaluation.

Summary

Comprehensive understanding of hard tissue examination leads to effective identification and management of dental issues, including caries, occlusion, and dental fractures.
