Eruption

Q1: The vertical movement of the tooth starts with?

B) When tooth reach the occlusal contact

C) If super eruption happen

D) When tooth lost ( this is the answer. It is continuous process)

Q4.5: Why the process of eruption is a continuous process?

To maintenance of occlusion (ex. If the tooth had abrasion or attrition or antagonist tooth is
lost)

Q5: Purpose or reasons of tooth eruption are?

Entering the oral cavity, Contacting teeth of the opposing arch & Functioning in occlusion &
mastication.

Q7: In pre-eruptive phase the Initiation of tooth development made by?

Deciduous & permanents tooth germ within the tissues of jaw before they begin to erupt.

Q8: All the movement of the tooth from begging of root development until it reaches contact
with the opposing jaw happen in ?

Pre-functional eruptive phase

Q9: All of the following is true except :

 A) In pre-eruptive phase the tooth does not go vertically or axially toward the margin of oral
mucosa.

B) In pre-function phase there is No occlusion. So there is not any function.

C) In post-eruptive phase the tooth reaches the occlusal contact & starts performing it is
function in mastication

D) All of the above are true. (this is the answer)

Q10: The following movement happen In Pre- eruptive phase except?

A) Mesial & distal movements (during lengthening of the jaw)

B) Movement of successor teeth in relation to their predecessors ( when they adjust to the
roots of the primary dentition to block the area below the predecessor tooth).

C) Vertical movement axially toward the margin of oral mucosa (this is the answer)

Q11: Change in relative position of teeth movement in pre-eruptive phase is due to/

Eruption of the predecessor tooth & Increase in height of maxilla and mandible.

Q12: The following is true about movement of successor teeth except?

D) Occlusal surface of mandibular molars slanting Mesially following curve of spee.

E) All of the above are true (this is the answer).

Q14: The occlusal surface of the tooth is not horizontal, why?

It actually horizontal in the first part than it has to go according to the curve of spee.

Q15: Why some people have impacted 3rd molar?

The amount of migration of 3rd molar is not enough

Q16: In developing of teeth, the tooth that reaches very close to the mandibular inferior border
is?

Q22: which tooth has the fastest rate of eruption?

Lower 2nd premolars. 4.5mm/14 weeks
Q23: The sequence of rate of eruption from fastest to slowest is?

Lower 2nd premolars → Upper central incisors → 3rd molars → Crowded dentition

Oral mucosa (to show the tooth)

Q27: when the tooth is appearing in the mouth we have 2 things happen at the same time?

A) the tooth erupt up

B) The soft tissues that are around the tooth is resiving down

C) All of the above (this is the answer)

Q28:Why do we see erupted teeth in infant without bleeding?

Due to the presence of epithelial line channel made by fusion of reduced enamel Epithelium
with the oral epithelium.

Q29: In teething we have the following except:

A) Itching

B) Discomfort to baby

C) No bleeding

D) No Pain

E) Fever ( this is the answer)

Q30: the following is true about enamel cuticle except:

A) It is the last layer produce by ameloblast

B) It is losses during contact with oral epithelium (because of teething).

C) It is lose in pre-eruptive phase (this is the answer)

Q31: The anatomical crown is

A) equals all the area lined (covered) by dentain.

B) The part of tooth that appears in the mouth

C) equals all the area lined (covered) by enamel. (this is the answer)

Q32: The clinical crown is shorter than the anatomical crown due to?
Because the cervical part of enamel covered with gingiva.

Q33: The clinical crown in old people is longer than anatomical crown due to?

Gingiva recession or retraction. So this let us see the root→ clinical crown = the crown + the
visible root

Q34: When all root is exposed?

the anatomical root equal the clinical root.

Q35: Gubernacular cord is?

The tissue that fills the gubernacular canal

Q36: Gubernacular cord contains?

Central strand of epithelium surrounded by connective tissue.

Q37: Gubernacular canal exists only in permanent teeth but not in primary because?

Because in primary teeth we don’t have bone surrounding the crown. The bone is only
surrounding the root.

Q38: The difference between osteoclasts & osteoblasts is?

Osteoclasts: resorption of the root of the predecessor but in deciduous teeth they resorp the
surrounding bone so that the tooth will erupt.

Osteoblasts: build up of resorbed areas after tooth movement.

(Hint: osteoclasts → C= Cut, osteoblasts →B= Build)

Q39: In Resorption of primary teeth, the following layer is resorbed by osteoclasts except

A) Dentin

B) Cementum

C) Enamel (this is the answer because enamel has No organic material)

Q40: If we remove the successor tooth, the following will happen except :

A) Resorption of predecessor root still occur

B) Resorption will be delayed

C) Cessation in root resorption of predecessor root (this is the answer)

Q41: Successor teeth have role in?

Successors teeth have role in speeding up the rate of resorption because it make pressure.

Q42: We loss the tooth when?

A) Increases masticatory loads

B) Reparative tissue equal resorption

C) Reparative tissue more than resorption

D) resorption is greater than the reparative tissue (this is the answer)

Q43: Reattachment of PDL happen when?

Reparative tissue more than resorption

Q44: If you loss the PDL the following what happen?

Ankylosis

Q45: Reparative tissue is cemental-like Not dentin-like because

A) No resorption in dentin

B) no reparative tissue in dentine

C) Dentine always responds by building up tertiary dentine Not by repairing dentin.

D) B & C (this is the answer)

Q46: The most common tooth affected by ankylosis is?

2nd mandibular deciduous

Q47: How ankylosis happen? (important)

When reparative tissue greater than resorption because we loss PDL & then direct fusion
between cementum and bone → tooth submerge, jaw growing in height and tooth locked in
bone

Q48: All of the following are true about ankylosis except:

A) the primary teeth that are locked within the jaw

B) The primary tooth will not erupt or have delayed eruption

C) surrounding teeth (around ankylosed tooth) are erupting

 D) the bone in that area will sink with the teeth (this is the answer)

E) The bone is going in height at that area and the tooth is sinking.

Q49: We can see mixed dentition at age of?

6-13 years

Q50: During tooth eruption, after tooth reach the oral epithelim a profileration happen
between ?

REE & Basel layer of oral epithelium

Q51: After eruption, the remnant of REE will become?

Junctional epithelium (that bind gingiva to enamel)

Q52: Why most of us have gingivitis?

Because junctional epithelium is weak, which composed of old cells, and don’t have the ability
to defense

Q53: Eruption is complete before root formation is complete because?

All teeth erupt into the mouth with 2/3s of their roots being formed

Q54: Permanent molars have to erupt through alveolar bone due to?

They don’t have primary precursor.

Q55: PDL exist when?

A) Before root formation

B) During root formation

C) After root formation (this is the answer)

Q56: Fibers of PDL get mature after?

Functional occlusion of the tooth with its opposing tooth.

Q57: During eruption fibers of PDL attach & detach and reattach rapidly as the root elongates
to?

To allow the teeth to be free to be erupted to penetrate the over capping tissue.

Q58: Permanent teeth already have its way to erupt due to?
Alveolar process already formed with deciduous teeth formation.

Q59: The space within the bone that teeth develop inside it is called?

Bony crypt

Q60: Is this developing deciduous or permanent tooth?

permanent tooth [Because always there is a bony part above it

(Alveolar Bone) while in case of deciduous teeth, the bone
(Alveolar Bone) formed around]
