Term
Ectoderm
Definition
Outer layer, will form the outer covering of the body and lining of the oral mucosa
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
Middle Layer, will form the connective tissue, forms skeletal and muscular systems, also forms cementum, dentin, and pulp.
Term
Endoderm
Definition
inner layer, forms the lining of the internal organs
Term
Stomodeum
Definition
Term
Initiation
Definition
Bud Stage, is when the tooth beginsto form the dental lamina and rise the tooth buds. 10 buds on each arch.
Term
Proliferation
Definition
Cap Stage, tooth bud grows and changes shape.Ectodern layer develops into enamel.Eventually the dentin and pulp form. Cementum and aveolar process are formed from a dental sac.(cells multiply)
Term
histodifferentiation
Definition
Bell Stage- Cells develop different tissues goes hand and hand with morphodiffertiation.
Term
morphodifferentiation
Definition
Bell Stage- Cells begin to outline the future shape of developing organs
Term
apposition
Definition
Calcium salts and other mineral salts are
Maturation Stage- Calcium salts and other mineral salts deposited in layers on the tooth.This process is also called calcification
Term
calcification
Definition
another name for apposition
Term
Active eruption
Definition
the tooth pushes through the gumline and erupts until it meets it’s antagonist (the tooth that it
occludes with in the other arch)
Term
Passive eruption
Definition
the length of the clinical crown
increases due to gingival recession
Term
Anomaly
Definition
Interruption in the tooth development that causes an abnormality in the formation of the tooth.
Term
Supernumerary
Definition
an extra tooth that has formed
Term
Peg Shaped
Definition
Mesiodont supernamery comes in as a point on the midline
Term
Proximal contact areas
Definition
small spot on the mesial and distal surfaces of each tooth that touches, or contacts the proximal tooth. Stabilizes teeth and provides support.
Term
Interpoximal spaces
Definition
area between each tooth normally filled with interdental papilla
Term
Embrasures
Definition
any curvature either toward or away from the contact area. located on the incisal, lingual or facial surface
Term
Compensating curvatures
Definition
Curvatures of the arch that account for strength and efficiency in mastication and assist in the stability of the teeth.
