Study Notes
Malformation of Teeth
-
Causes of disturbed tooth development:
- Disturbance to epithelial-mesenchymal interactions
- Trauma
- Infection
- Mutations from heredity/environmental causes
-
Key Genes:
- MSX1: Crucial for craniofacial development, involved in tooth morphogenesis (initiation and development of tooth buds). Mutations can lead to cleft lip/palate and missing premolars/molars.
- PAX9: Involved in molar formation. Mutations result in missing molars (oligodontia), often showing a family pattern of inheritance.
-
Human Dentition:
- Humans have only two sets of teeth (dentitions).
- Teeth are precisely shaped and specialized for an omnivorous diet, designed to withstand significant chewing forces.
Anomalies in Tooth Development
-
Bud Stage:
- Number: Hypodontia (missing teeth), oligodontia (many missing teeth), anodontia (no teeth), hyperdontia (extra teeth)
- Position: Ectopic teeth (teeth in unusual locations), transposition (teeth switched position)
-
Cap Stage:
- Shape: Gemination (two teeth fused together), fusion (two teeth joined), dens-in-dente (a tooth within a tooth)
- Size: Macrodontia (large teeth), microdontia (small teeth)
- Structure: Compound odontoma (tumour-like growth involving multiple teeth), complex odontoma, extra cusps (extra points on a tooth)
-
Bell Stage:
- Shape: Talon cusp, taurodontism (a tooth shape with a longer root)
- Size: Macrodontia, microdontia
- Structure: Amelogenesis imperfecta (enamel defect), dentinogenesis imperfecta (dentin defect), dentin dysplasia (dentin defect)
Enamel and Root Anomalies
-
Enamel:
- Enamel structure + density = Turner's hypoplasia, enamel hypoplasia
-
Eruption:
- Delayed eruption, impaction
-
Root:
- Radicular dilaceration (an abnormal bend in the root), short root, root fusion, accessory roots, agenesis/hypoplasia of roots
