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.
