Have True/False Statements: Questions)
what does each tooth consist of? - ANSWERA crown and one or more roots
the crown has denton covered by what? - ANSWERenamel
each root has denton covered by what? - ANSWERcementum
bulk of the tooth is... - ANSWERdentin
what is the CEJ - ANSWERthe external line at the neck or cervix of the tooth, where
the enamel of the crown and cementum of the root usually meet
parts of the root of tooth - ANSWERapex, periapical, foramen, furcation, bifurcation,
trifurcation, CEJ, cementum
tissues of the tooth - ANSWERenamel, dentin, cementum, pulp
what is the hardest material of the tooth body? - ANSWERenamel
what makes up the anatomical crown of the tooth? - ANSWERenamel
enamel is composed of millions of calcified... - ANSWERenamel prisms
what is the enamel forming cell - ANSWERameloblast
amelogenesis - ANSWERthe process of enamel formation
dentin forming cell - ANSWERodontoblast
dentin characteristics - ANSWERlight yellow/some translucency, not as hard as
enamel, acts as cushion for brittle enamel
the 3 major types of dentin - ANSWERprimary, secondary, tertiary dentin
primary dentin - ANSWERDentin that forms before eruption and that makes up the
bulk of the tooth
secondary dentin - ANSWERDentin that forms after eruption and continues at a very
slow rate throughout the life of the tooth
, tertiary dentin - ANSWERDentin that forms in response to irritation (dental
treatment/decay)
what do dentinal tubules contain - ANSWERdentinal sensory fibers and fluid
cementum - ANSWERcovers the root of the tooth, joins enamel at the CEJ
when does primary cementum/acellular form? - ANSWERbefore the tooth erupts
when does the secondary cementum/cellular start forming? - ANSWERafter the
tooth has reached functional occlusion and throughout the life of tooth
what is the pulp made up of? - ANSWERblood vessels and nerves that enter the pulp
chamber through apical foramen
coronal pulp - ANSWERlies within the crown portion of the tooth, and includes pulp
horns
radicular/root pulp - ANSWERportion of the pulp more apically located
fibroblasts - ANSWERmake the intercellular portion of the pulp
what supports teeth within the alveolar bone/alveolar process? -
ANSWERperiodontium
periodontium consists of? - ANSWERcementum, alveolar bone, periodontal
ligaments
the two major units of the periodontium - ANSWERattachment apparatus and
gingival unit
the attachment apparatus includes: - ANSWERcementum, periodontal ligament,
alveolar bone
the gingival unit includes: - ANSWERlining mucosa, masticatory mucosa, specialized
mucosa
alveolar process - ANSWERsupports the teeth in their functional positions in the jaws
alveolar crest - ANSWERHighest point of the alveolar ridge
cavity within the alveolar process that surrounds the root of a tooth -
ANSWERalveolar socket
lamina dura - ANSWERthin layer of compact bone that lines the alveolar socket
