Tooth Development & Histology
This cell type forms dentin
odontoblasts
this bone forms part of the orbit and articulates with frontal and ethmoid bones
MAXILLARY BONE
This is the area where adjacent teeth touch.
These bacteria are most associated with dental caries.
mutans sterptococci and lactobacilli
These are the two main forms of periodontal disease
gingivitis and periodontitis
these cell types are responsible for bone resorption
osteoclasts
this is the largest sinus
maxillary sinus
In this Angle classification, the maxillary molar is positioned mesial to normal.
Class II
These are the three factors required for caries development.
Susceptible tooth, bacteria, fermentable carbohydrates
this systemic condition is a strong risk factor for periodontitis
diabetes mellitus
this is the correct sequence for tooth development stages
bud, cap, bell
this is a major neck muscle that originates from the sternum and clavicle and inserts into the mastoid process of the temporal bone.
sternocleidomastoid
This system uses letters A–T for primary teeth.
Universal
This is the earliest stage of caries.
incipient
This is the common term for an aphthous ulcer.
canker sore
these cells form enamel
ameloblasts
this artery supplies blood to the face and mouth
external carotid artery
This structure is where grooves meet on a posterior tooth.
pit
This term means inflammation of gingival tissue.
gingivitis
This habit causes tooth structure loss due to grinding.
bruxism
this mineral structure dissolves during demineralization
hydroxyapetite
this type of papilla forms a V-shape on the posterior tongue
vallate papilla
This tooth commonly has a fifth cusp.
Maxillary first molar
This condition presents as a white patch in the oral cavity.
leudoplakia
This condition is associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
Angular Cheilitis
