|
|
is enamel brittle? what color is it?
|
yes, especially when not supported by sound underlying dentin
white but sometimes yellowish due to underlying dentin |
|
how can pulp be removed? when and why are posts used? what is the pulp subject to?
|
endodontic procedures; on badly broken teeth to build up tooth in normal contours; inflammation
|
|
hard tissues of a tooth
|
enamel, dentin, and cementum

pulp
|
|
what are the differences between the primary/perm enamel rod directions?
|
primary have perpendicular to dentino-enamel junction;
in cervical 3rd of perm tooth's crown, enamel rods incline in a cervical direction |
|
what may the care of primary dentition include?
|
full exam
prophylaxis OHI diet survey & counseling with parent |
|

|
ability of light to pass through an object;
dentists may wait to take dentin shade until crown prep is finished |

cementum overlaps the enamel
|
60%
|
|
cementum meets enamel at a sharp junction
|
30%

|
describe the roots of the primary molars and why they are like this

maxillary premolar due to diminished size of DB and DL cusps
|
|

|
passive eruption
|
|
2 contributions to active eruption
|
growth - as ramus lengthens, the mandible is lowered from the base of the skull increasing space between arches
attrition - teeth may migrate vertically to compensate for amount of tooth structure lost by wear ***TRUE ERUPTION PROCESS*** |
|
what is the true eruption process called?
|
active eruption
|
|
passive eruption
|
recession in supporting tissues results in an increased exposure of anatomic corwn and root, increasing length of clinical crown
