TYPES OF INTRA ORAL TISSUES INTRA ORAL HARD TISSUES • Teeth • Jaws (maxilla and mandible) • Hard Palate INTRA ORAL SOFT TISSUES • Gingiva • Tongue • Lips • Buccal mucosa • Labial mucosa • Soft palate • Floor of the mouth • pharynx
EXTRA ORAL TISSUES • TM joint • Lymph nodes • Head and face • Eyes • Ears • Bones and cartilage • Nose • Blood vessels • Face
HEALTHY ORAL TISSUES Healthy Gingiva (normal pink colour) Healthy Oral Cavity
UNHEALTHY ORAL TISSUES Macroglossia (Large tongue) Unhealthy /inflamed gingiva (Swollen ,bleeding on probing , red in colour) Supernumerary Teeth (Additional teeth)
TEETH • Most important Intra oral hard tissue • Consists of • Enamel • Dentine • Pulp
Requirements for Development of an Ideal Dentition • Formation of a full complement of teeth. • Normal structural development of the dental tissues • Eruption of each group of teeth at the appropriate time into an adequate space • Normal development of jaw size and relationship • Eruption of teeth into correct relationship to occlude with their opposite numbers
Disorders of Development of Teeth • Abnormalities in Number: • Anodontia or hypodontia • Additional teeth (hyperdontia) • Defects of Structure: • Enamel defects • Dentine defects • Abnormalities in Size: • Microdontia • Macrodontia
Disorders of Development of Teeth 4. Disorders of Eruption: • Delayed eruption • Premature eruption • Impacted teeth 5. Abnormalities in Shape: • Dilaceration • Taurodontism • Dens Invaginatus • Dens Evaginatus • Talon cusp • Supernumerary roots • Gemination • Fusion • Concrescence • Enamel pearls
Abnormalities In Number Of Teeth • Anodontia (missing teeth): a) Total Anodontia: Congenital absence of all teeth is known as total anodontia. Total failure of development of a complete dentition is rare. b)Partial Anodontia: Congenital absence of one or more teeth is known as partial anodontia Examples: • Third molars • Second premolars • Maxillary lateral incisors
Abnormalities In Number of Teeth • HYPERDONTIA (ADDITIONAL TEETH): • Additional teeth are relatively common • They are usually of conical shape (supernumerary teeth) but, less frequently resemble teeth of normal series (supplemental teeth) • These are the results of excessive growth of dental lamina of unknown cause • supernumerary teeth may prevent the eruption of the a permanent teeth & also may cause displacement or malposition of teeth EXAMPLES: • Mesiodens (between maxillary central incisors) • Paramolars (maxillary fourth molars) • Distomolar • Neonatal teeth
EXAMPLES OF SUPERNUMERARY TEETH Mesiodens Mesiodens
