Terms in this set (145)
the 4 tissues of the teeth enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum
the 3 hard tissues of the teeth enamel, dentin, cementum
the soft tissue of the teeth pulp
enamel hard, outermost layer of a tooth
what is enamel made up of? 96% inorganic material and 4% organic material and water
function of enamel This dense mineralization gives enamel the ability to resist the
wear the crown of a tooth is subjected to
true or false: enamel has a self cleaning true, due to it's smoothness
ability?
, Dentin Dense tissue forming the bulk of a tooth.
What is dentin made of? 70% inorganic matter (calcium/phosphorous) and 30% organic
matter + water
Where is dentin located? Under the enamel and cementum
secondary dentin Dentin that forms after eruption and continues at a very slow
rate throughout the life of the tooth.
reparative dentin Localized formation of dentin in response to local trauma,
such as occlusal trauma or caries.
Odontoblasts Cells that form dentin
Cementum Specialized, calcified (bone-like) connective tissue that covers
the anatomic root of a tooth.
what is cementum made up of? 45% inorganic and 55% organic
function of cementum to serve as an attachment for supportive fibers of the
periodontal membrane
what are the two types of cementum? acellular and cellular
Cellular cementum Apical 1/3
(think that the cells are down where the blood supply is
coming from) and can reproduce itself
Acellular cementum covers most of the anatomic root, cells that produce
cementum are called cemetoblasts
where does nutrition for cementum come derived from outside the tooth through blood vessels coming
from? directly from bone
Cementoblasts Cells that form cementum
what is the pulp made up of? blood vessels, lymph vessels, connective tissue, nerve tissues
and dentin forming cells (odontoblasts)
Pulp soft tissue within a tooth, containing nerves and blood vessels
function of pulp to form and supply nutrients to dentin and transmit sensory
stimuli
anatomy of the root of the tooth
Root concavities Indentations on the root surface
what tooth is least likely to have proximal maxillary central incisor
root concavities? 3 multiple choice options
