Q

PEDO SSC do not require a ledge in the prep, why?

A
  • The ledge will prevent seating of the crown all the way.
  • We want the margin to be at or below the gingival margin.
  • SSC require 1-1.5 mm Occlusal (sometimes B-L to remove bulge) reduction.

Q

Compomer vs Hybrid vs resin modified GI

A
  • GI is a weak material.
  • Hybrid is stronger than GI, and gives more Fl than compomer
  • Compomer is more like composite, thus is the strongest, but doesn’t release as much Fl and is considered the least caries resistant.

Q

Leeway space

A
  • primary canine to 2M and permanent canine to 2PM
  • Max anterior primary teeth are 75% the size of their permanent teeth
  • Mand anterior primary teeth are 6mm narrower MD than their permanent teeth
  • Primary molars are wider MD
  • Maxilla 1.5 mm per quadrant.
  • Mandible 2.5 mm per quadrant
20
Q

Primate space

A

MAX primary lateral incisor and primary canine

MAND primary canine and primary 1M

21
Q

most common missing permanent teeth:

A

3M > Mand 2PM > Max LI > Max 2PM

Most common primary missing: Max LI

22
Q

remove ankylosed teeth via

A

sectioning the tooth

23
Q

Space maintainer for:

Adult 1M is lost before the eruption of adult 2M

A

nothing. 2M will medially drift into 1M space.

NOTE: no space maintainer is needed if adult tooth will erupt soon (look at radiographs for root development)

24
Q

Space maintainer for:

Primary 2M is lost

A
  • Always use a space maintainer until Adult 2PM arrives.

- The most rapid loss of AP spread is due to mesially tipped/rotated adult 1M after early removal of primary 2M.

25
Q

Cleft lip and Palate

A

Plates develop 4-5 weeks gestation
Secondary palate developed at 9 weeks

Upper Lip = 2xmedial nasal swellings + maxillary swelling

Palatal shelves from the maxillary process orient from a vertical to horizontal position as the tongue descends.
The secondary shelves fuse with each other and the Primary plate (= maxillary + mandibular process) to form he palate.

Lip is more common in males (Left > Right)
Palate is more common in females

26
Q

Most impacted tooth

A

Max. canine

  • There is an association with impacted canines and missing or shortened lateral incisors, given the the LI distal roots guide the canines into position.
  • Impacted teeth must be brought down through keratinized tissue, not mucosa
27
Q

Arch length

A

Max: 128 mm (longer)
Mand: 126 mm

Jaw growth in width is completed before adolescent, but length continues

both jaws: Width (before adolescent) then length then height (after adolescent) is completed

28
Q

Tooth eruption direction

A

occlusal and buccal

EXCEPT max and mand incisors which come lingually

29
Q

baby bottle disease order of decay

A
  1. Max ant.
  2. Max post.
  3. Mand post.
  4. Mand ant.

ECC is defined as:

  • any cavitation under 3 y/o
  • more than one DMFT score in the anteriors
  • DMFS > 4 in 3 y/o
  • DMFS > 5 in 4 y/o
  • DMFS > 6 in 5 y/o
30
Q

Root development

A
  • cervical loop of the enamel organ (epithelium) → Hertwig root sheath
  • Erupts: 2/3 of root formed
  • Fully formed 3 years post eruption
  • Accessory canals are formed by breaks in root shealth when dentin is deposited
31
Q

Calcification

A
  • All primary teeth begin 14-24 weeks in utero
  • Permanent Max and Mand 1M begin calcification at birth and erupt at 6-7 y/o
  • Shape of tooth is determined by the ectoderm (enamel). Mesoderm distracts pulp and dentin.
32
Q

cementum

A
  • Developes from dental sac AFTER Hertwigs sheath is disintegrated.
  • Calcified
  • Avascular

Types

  • Acellular = primary cementum = High [sharpey] fibers = attached to the root
  • Cellular = secondary cementum = made only after tooth reaches the occlusal plane = more irregular with cementocytes = less calcified = smaller [sharpey]
  • Repair occurs on cellular cementum that is NOT in perio pockets or exposed
  • Cementum deposits is most at apex to compensate for eruption.
33
Q

Lobes

A
  • It’s a growth center = primary centers of calcification
  • Represented as cusps on posteriors or cingulums and mamelons on anteriors
  • Minimum number of 4

Always separated by:
o Developmental grooves = Posteriors
o Developmental depressions = Anteriors

Anteriors 3 labial + 2 lingual (cingulum)
PM 3 B + 1 L (NOTE: Mand 2PM = 3B + 2 L)
1M 5 lobes
2M 4 Lobes
3M 4 Lobes

34
Q

6 year molars are what?

A

Permanent 1Ms
Thus, a 6 y/o would have all 20 primary teeth and 4 x 1Ms

A 7 y/o would have 18 primary teeth, 4 x 1Ms, and #24,25

35
Q

Monitor a splinted tooth for how long?

Monitor Indirect pulp cap for how long?

Monitor a fully avulsed tooth that is splinted?

A

Splinted: 3 months

Indirect pulp cap: 3-4 months

Avulsed tooth: 2 weeks, or risk ankylosis

36
Q

Hypocalcification is most common in which teeth?

A

Mand. incisors

37
Q

Avulsed teeth protocol

A
  • 1 Hr window or risk external resorption
  • Splint for 2 weeks (or risk ankylosis) → RCT with CaOH that is replaced every 3 months for 1 year → Permanent gp obturation
  • Antibiotics only used with replants in 1 Hr of injury

If over 1 Hr, do RCT outside the mouth, soak in 2.4% Acidulated Fl solution to limit resorption, and splint for 4 weeks
- Replants fail mainly due to external root resorption.

38
Q

Main cause of failure for replanted teeth?

A

External root resorption

39
Q

Most common teeth that ectopically erupt

A

Max 1M > Max C > Mand C > Mand 2PM > Max LI

40
Q

Fluoride use

A

No effect hydroxyapatite → decrease enamel solubility

  1. Remineralization
  2. Anti-bacterial
    - Low [Fl] → stops glucosyltransferase and polysaccharide formation
    - High [Fl] → topical treatment → directly toxic to bacteria
  • Proximal tooth surfaces benefit the most from Fl
  • Excreted in kidenys

Rule of 6 = No supplemental Fl given regardless of high risk
for over 0.6 ppm of Fl.

Chronic Fl toxicity shows up in bones (skeletal tissue) as osteosclerosis and dental fluorosis (only during calcification stage of tooth development)

  • Lethal F = 500 mg (or 5mg/kg of body weight)
  • Tx: Ca = Milk will decrease Fl absorption (in acute Fl toxicity) by increasing pH.
  • 8.2 oz tube = 232 mg Fl

Topical Fl’s most stable product is fluoroaptite
Water fluoridation is considered both systemic and topical application
Anyone with 2ppm fl + in their water supply should not use the water

Cariostatitc effects only occur when tooth calcification is occurring.
fluorosis can occur even in adult teeth

41
Q

Hypercementosis frequently occurs where?

A

PM > 1M > 2M

  • usually confined to apical half
  • vital teeth
  • asymptomatic
  • unbroken PDL on x-rays
  • Seen in Paget’s disease, gigantism, acromegaly and thyroid goiters
42
Q

Dens in dente and dens evaginatus

A

Dens invaginatus

  • Invagination of enamel organ during formation
  • Most common in Max LI

Dens Evaginatus

  • extra cusp (has all three layers of teeth)
  • talon cusps in incisors
  • Evagination of inner enamel epithelium cells
43
Q

Taurodaunt

A

Extremely large pulp chambers with short roots

- from failure of the proper level o horizontal invagination of Hertwig epithelial root sheaths

44
Q

Which type of fluoride is most beneficial for root caries (and sensitivity)?

A

NaF

- Precipitates calcium fluoride crystals in the open dentinal tubules

45
Q

Sealants

A

molars benefit the most, but bicuspid pits and fissure show longer retention

  • Sealants mimic unfilled resins, more than filled
