Term
Who does "hypoplasica caused by antineoplastic therapy" effect most?
Definition
Clinically obvious alterations most commonly when ginve to pts younger than 12 y/o, most extensively in those unde 5 yrs
Term
When is "hypoplasia caused by antineoplastic therapy" seen?
Definition

Most commonly seen post-radiation therapy

May also follow chemotherapy

Term
How severe is "hypoplasia cased by antineoplastic therapy"?
Definition
degree and severity of alterations related to pt's age at treatment, form of therapy, and dose and field of radiation if used
Term
What does "hypoplasia caused by antineoplastic therapy" cause?
Definition
Hypodontia, microdontia, radicular hypoplasia, enamel hypoplasia, occassionally mandibular hypoplasia
Term
Defintion of dental fluorosis
Definition
Defects in enamel due to excessive consumption of fluoride during tooth development
Term
Mechanism of dental fluorosis
Definition
Retention of amelogenin proteins in enamel structure leading to hypomineralized enamel and permanent hypomaturation
Term
Dental fuorosis result on teeth
Definition
increased surface and subsurface porosity
Term
Clinical appearance of dental fluorosis
Definition
initially white chalky areas, progressing to lustering white opacity and then pitting and discoloration
Term
True or False: Teeth affected by dental fluorosis are more prone to caries
Definition
False - typically caries resistant
Term
What does term mottled enamel refer to?
Definition
moderate to severe enamel fluorosis; not so much hypoplasia as hypocalcification and hypomaturation
Term
Can amoxicillin use during early infancy result in dental fluorosis?
Definition
Yes.
Term
Defintion of Syphilitic hypoplasia
Definition
hypoplasia of teeth associated with congenital syphilis
Term
What disorder is Hutchinson's incisors and Mulberry molars associated with?
Definition
Syphilitic hypoplasia
Term
Definition of Hutchinson's incisors
Definition
Permanent incisors w/ screwdriver shaped crowns - greater circumference in middle third than in incisal third of tooth; often central notch in middle of incisal edge
Term
Definition of mulberry molars
Definition
constricted occlusal tables w/ disorganized surface anatomy
Term
Definition of attrition
Definition
loss of tooth structure caused by tooth-to-tooth contact during occlusion and mastication
Term
True or false: some degree of attrition is physiologic; excessive wear considered pathologic.
Definition
True.
Term
Definition of abrasion
Definition
pathologic wearing away of tooth structure or restoration secondary to mechanical action of an external agent
Term
True or false: Aggressive tooth brushing (esp w/ abrasive agent) canNOT cause abrasion
Definition
False. It CAN.
Term
Potential causes of abrasion
Definition

- pencils, toothpicks, pipe stems, bobby pins

- Chewing tobacco, cracking nuts, dental floss, fingernails, thread

- Demastication (tooth wear from chewing abrasive substances)

Term
Definition of erosion
Definition
loss of tooth structure caused by a nonbacterial chemical process
Term
Most common cause of erosion
Definition
Acidic substances
Term
Erosion from exposure to gastric secretions is termed -
Definition
Perimolysis
Term
Definition of Abfraction
Definition
Loss of tooth structure from occlusal stress that creates repeated tooth flexure w/ failure of enamel & dentin at a location away from point of loading
Term
Step-by-step pathogenesis of abfraction
Definition

- Occlusal forces applied eccentrically to a tooth cause tensile stress concentrated at cervical fulcrum

- This leads to flexure which may produce disruption in chemical bonds of enamel crystals in cervical area

- Dentin is more flexible than enamel and able to withstand great tensile stress

- All this weakens cervical enamel promoting its loss

Term
Definition of internal resorption
Definition
Resorption of tooth from inside out mediated by cells of pulp
Term
How does internal resorption occur?
Definition
Most commonly after injury to pulp tissue via physical trauma or caries-related pulpitis and will usually progress until perforation into PDL as long as vital pulp remains
Term
What is associated with Pink Tooth of Mummery?
Definition
Internal resorption - it is when crown is involved may take on a pink hue due to vascular resorption thinning out enamel
Term
Treatment of internal resorption
Definition

Endodontic therapy

If perforation of PDL attempt remineralization w/ calcium hydroxide type substance

Term
Definition of external resorption
Definition
resorption of tooth from outside in, mediated initially by cells of PDL
Term
Causes of external resorption
Definition
Excessive mechanical force, trauma, periradicular or periapical inflammatory disease, pressure of impacted tooth, reimplantation of teeth, cysts and tumors
Term
Treatment of external resorption
Definition
Identify cause and try to eliminate
Term
Extrinsic discoloration of teeth caused by...
Definition
Bacterial stins, tobacco products, coffee, meds
Term
Intrinsic discoloration of teeth caused by...
Definition

- Congenital erthropoietic porphyria

- Alkaptonuria

- Build-up of bilirubin

- Trauma from deciduous teeth

- Promatous leprosy

- Meds

- Restorative materials

Term
Impaction definition
Definition

Failure of teeth to erupt, usually due to a physical barrier

 

Term
Most common teeth that are impacted...
Definition
Mandibular 3rd molars, maxillary 3rd molars and maxillary cuspids
Term
Mgt of impaction
Definition

Long-term observations

Ortho assisted eruption

Transplantation

Surgical removal

Term
Risks of not intervening with impaction
Definition

Crowding of dentition

Resorption, caries, worsening of perio status of adj teeth

dev pathologic condition (infections, cysts, tumors)

Incidence increases w/ age

Term
Pathogenesis of impaction
Definition
Ankylosis plays major role
