    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
