level questions: ANOMALIES

QuestionAnswer
Something noticeably different or deviates from that which is ordinary or normalANOMALY
Congenital or acquired abnormality in which a tooth or teeth deviate from normal form, function and positionDENTAL ANOMALY
the genetic transmission of biological characteristics from parents to offsprings, including the storage, replication, mutation, recombination an translation of genetic material in chromosomesHEREDITARY
present at birthCONGENITAL
if a condition results during the formation and development of the structureDEVELOPMENTAL ANOMALIES
Disturbances in size of teeth: Teeth which are smaller than normal teeth. It is outside the usual limits of variationMICRODONTIA
Disturbances in size of teeth: Refers to teeth that are larger than normalMACRODONTIA
MICRODONTIA: All teeth are smaller than normalTrue Generalized Microdontia
MICRODONTIA: Common in dwarfismTrue Generalized Microdontia
MICRODONTIA: Normal or slightly smaller than normal teeth are present in jaws that are somewhat larger than normalRelative Generalized Microdontia
MICRODONTIA: Result: spacingRelative Generalized Microdontia
MICRODONTIA: Common conditionMicrodontia involving only a single tooth
MICRODONTIA: Most commonly affected teeth: maxillary lateral incisor & 3rd molarMicrodontia involving only a single tooth
MICRODONTIA: sides converge or taper together incisally, forming a peg shaped or cone shaped crown, root shorter than usualpeg lateral
MACRODONTIA:All teeth are larger than normalTrue Generalized Macrodontia
MACRODONTIA:More commonRelative Generalized Macrodontia
MACRODONTIA:The presence of normal or slightly larger than normal teeth in small jawRelative Generalized Macrodontia
MACRODONTIA:Result: crowding of toothRelative Generalized Macrodontia
MACRODONTIA:UncommonMacrodontia of single tooth
Anomalies in shape:Aka twinningGEMINATION
Anomalies in shape:Anomaly that arises when a tooth attempts to divide itself or partially twin itself, by splitting its toothgermGEMINATION
Anomalies in shape:Usually one with two completely or incompletely separated crowns that have a single root or root canalGEMINATION
Anomalies in shape:Occurs when two adjacent tooth germs uniteFUSION
Anomalies in shape:Two teeth may be united along a part of or the entire lengthFUSION
Anomalies in shape:Joined by their crowns or their rootsFUSION
Anomalies in shape:May be made at the dentinFUSION
Anomalies in shape: Fusion which occurs after root formation has beenCONCRESCENE
Anomalies in shape:May occur before or after the teeth have been erupted in the oral cavityCONCRESCENE

Anomalies in shape:Projects lingually from cingulum areaTALON'S CUSP
TALON'S CUSP commonly affectsMx and Mn permanent incisors
talon's cusp problemsEsthetics, Caries control, Occlusal accommodation

Anomalies in shape:occlusal enamel pearlDENS EVAGINATUS
Anomalies in shape:n accessory cusp or globule of enamel on the occlusal surface between the buccal and lingual cusps of premolars; may be unilateral or bilateralDENS EVAGINATUS
Anomalies in shape:May contribute to incomplete eruption of the teethDENS EVAGINATUS
Anomalies in shape:May contribute to displacement of the teethDENS EVAGINATUS
Anomalies in shape:May contribute to pulp exposure with subsequent infection following occlusal wear or fractureDENS EVAGINATUS
Anomalies in shape:Enlargement of the body of the tooth at the expense of the rootTAURODONTISM
Anomalies in shape:Bull-like toothTAURODONTISM
Anomalies in shape:Rectangular in shapeTAURODONTISM
Anomalies in shape:Pulp chamber is extremely large with a much greater apico-occlusal height than normalTAURODONTISM
Anomalies in shape:Pulp lacks constriction at the cervical of the toothTAURODONTISM
Anomalies in shape:Roots extremely short with bifurcation or trifurcation only a few millimeters above the apices of the rootsTAURODONTISM
Anomalies in shape:An angulation of the root or crown of formed teethDILACERATION
Anomalies in shape:Position of calcified portion of the tooth is changed and remainder of the tooth is formed at an angleDILACERATION
DILACERATION occurs duringtooth formation
common locations of dilacerationCervical portion, Middle third of the root, Apical third of the root
Anomalies in shape: difficulty in extractionDILACERATION

Anomalies in shape:Notching at incisal edgesHUTCHINSON'S TEETH
Anomalies in shape:Narrowing of incisorsHUTCHINSON'S TEETH
Anomalies of the roots of teeth: commonly seen in bifurcation/ trifurcation of teeth. It is an excess enamelEnamel pearl
Anomalies in number: Teeth in excess of the normal numberSUPERNUMERARY TEETH
Anomalies in number: Developed from a 3rd tooth bud but arising from the dental lamina near the permanent tooth budSUPERNUMERARY TEETH
Anomalies in number: Splitting of permanent tooth budSUPERNUMERARY TEETH
Anomalies in number: autosomal dominant traits with lack of penetrance in some generationSUPERNUMERARY TEETH
ANODONTIA(congenital absence of teeth): All teeth are missingtotal anodontia
ANODONTIA(congenital absence of teeth): Cause; failure of tooth germ to develop lack of initiation stagetotal anodontia
ANODONTIA(congenital absence of teeth): A common congenital condition characterized by absence of one or more teethpartial anodontia or hypodontia
ANODONTIA(congenital absence of teeth): absence of many teeth, usually associated with small size of the existing teeth and other anomaliesoligodontia
ANODONTIA:Occurs as a result of extraction of all teeth, clinically absent teethinduced or false anodontia
ANODONTIA:Teeth are missing clinically but are formed but failed to erupt in the oral cavityPseudoanodontia
ANODONTIA:multiple unerupted teethPseudoanodontia
SUPERNUMERARY TEETH:A tooth situated between the maxillary central incisorsMesiodens
SUPERNUMERARY TEETH:Appears or occurs singly, paired erupted or impacted, occasionally inverted small tooth with a cone shaped crown and short rootMesiodens
SUPERNUMERARY TEETH:Supernumerary molar usually small and rudimentary which is situated bucally or lingually to one of the maxillary molars, or interproximal between the first, second, and third molarsParamolar
