Oral Pathology Notes 1
Oral Pathology Notes 1
1. Anadotia All teeth are missing, rarely occurs, usually ass. with Hereditry Ectodermal Dysplasia
2. Partial anodotia Congenital absence of one or more, most common
Upper lateral incisor, Lower second premolar
Uncommon in primary, if happens usually upper B
3. Oligodontia absence of 6 or more
4. Hypodontia absence of less than 6 teeth
5. Supernumerary teeth More common in Maxilla than mandible, like Mesiodens, distomolar & paramolar, +1
6. Mesiodens Most common supernumerary teeth, smaller with cone shaped crown & short roots.
Removal just prior to eruption of permanent teeth
7. Natal & Neonatal Teeth present when baby born or in the first 30 days, usually it's just prematurely erupted deciduous
teeth 90%
Removal only if mobile with risk of aspiration
8. Gemenation 2 crown, 1 root with same number of teeth, usually bifid crown and in incisor primary teeth
9. Fusion Fusion of 2 separate tooth buds, number -1, usually in Mandible primary incisors
10. Twinning Complete division of single bud into 2 teeth, number +1
11. Concrescence Union of roots of 2 teeth or more by confluence of their Cementum, related to truma, Commonly
upper 7&8.
12. Dens-in-Dent Invagination "A tooth within a tooth"; a developmental anomaly that results when the enamel organ invaginates
into the crown of a tooth before mineralization.
Maxillary lateral incisor are the most common tooth
Thin layer of Enamel make it vulnerable & easy to develop pulpitis & pulp necrosis
13. Dens evaginatus Evagination of the inner enamel Epi., more common in Premolars mandibular teeth.
Accessory cusp which contain enamel & dentin, with pulp in only 50%.
Posterior --- Cusp of carebelli
Anterior --- Talon cusp or Shovel-shaped incisors

Assio. with congenital ichthyosis
Require surgical removal
17. Taurodontism Bull-like tooth Large & long pulp chamber with bifurcation close to the root apex.
Due to Late invagination of Hertwig's rooth sheath
Usually in pt. with Hypodontia, cleft lip & palate
18. Ectopic enamel Enamel Cells of Hertwig's Epi. root sheath do not migrate away from the dentin & differentiate into
pearls Enameloma ameloblast giving enamel
Maxillary molar are the most common site in bi & tri furcation area

23. Amelogenesis Imperfecta Inherited ectodermal disorder, 3 types:
1-Hypoplastic:
Most common form, defect in the amount of enamel present it's well mineralized & does not
chip.
Teeth are smaler than normal with open interproximal contact, normal to opaque white color,
X-ray Enamel is more RO than dentin
2-Hypomaturation:
Normal thickness but matrix is immature (containing residual enamel protein), enamel chips
easily.
Creamy opaque to yellow/brown color, With soft & rough surface.

3-Hypocalcified:
Enamel is normal in thickness & poorly calcified (Lack of enamel protien), chips easily same
like Hypomaturation but X-ray E less RO than dentin.

or affect the entire surface, both sets of teeth are affected.
Open contact, rapid break down of occlusal surface with yellowish- brown color.

dependent.
Water fluoridation usually between 0.7-1.2 PPM.
Affect the crowns of Maxillary central incisors
27. Dentinogenesis Imperfecta - autosomal dominant disorders, Enamel is normal but chips due to week dentin beneath, with
Hereditary opalescent dentin translucent or opalescent appearance with yellow-brown to grey color.
Excessive constrication at CEL leads to Bell or Tulip shape, 3 types:
1- Type 1:

large pulp champers. Shell like appearance
28. Dentin Dysplasia autosomal dominant disorder not related to dentinogenesis imperfecta or osteogenesis
