erupted tooth

Contrary to the situation with some related species, a third generation of erupted teeth was lacking.

Also for the treatment of pericoronitis associated with partially erupted teeth.

Partly erupted teeth are now thought to be the most likely to cause problems because they trap food, leading to decay or infection.

Only the adult males have erupted teeth or tusks in this species half way along the lower jaw.

Pericoronitis is defined as inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth.

Newly erupted teeth are absent.

For erupted teeth, endodontics is an option if the tooth is devitalized and restorable.

Pikas are born slightly altricial, being blind, slightly haired, and having fully erupted teeth.

The child's supervising adults may need reassurance that it is only an extrinsic stain on a child's newly erupted teeth.

Teeth further back in the dentary are nearly all damaged, but a not erupted tooth has large denticles similar to basal sauropodomorphs.

Erupted teeth that are adjacent to impacted teeth are predisposed to periodontal disease.

Impacted teeth are unerupted or partially erupted teeth that cannot fully erupt due to:

A residue may form on newly erupted teeth of both dentitions that may leave the teeth extrinsically stained.

The soft tissue covering a partially erupted tooth is known as an operculum, an area which can be difficult to access with normal oral hygiene methods.

However, when relying on just oral hygiene for impacted and partially erupted teeth, chronic pericoronitis with occasional acute exacerbation can be expected.

The characteristic chisel-like shape of the fully erupted teeth therefore resulted from tooth-to-tooth contact between the dentition of the upper and lower jaws.

When food lodges in partly erupted teeth, infections and cysts can form, she said, damaging bone, neighboring teeth and nerves.

Pericoronal abscess-- a localized, purulent infection within the gum tissue surrounding the crown of a partially or fully erupted tooth.

An unerupted or partially erupted tooth that is positioned against another tooth, bone or soft tissue so that complete eruption is unlikely.

Erupted tooth crowns have disappeared but tooth sockets are still present and due to breakage tooth roots and replacement teeth are visible.

As well as a piece of lower jaw containing seven partly to fully erupted teeth, scientists found another piece of jaw bone containing eight teeth.

Many doctors and dentists over the years have pointed to this apparent fault and have called for the numbers of erupted teeth to be counted in studies, and published.

In an erupted tooth, this process rarely extends beyond 1/3 the depth of the dentin, which is why the odontoblast transduction theory of dentinal hypersensivity is unlikely.

Pericoronitis occurs because the operculum (the soft tissue directly overlying the partially erupted tooth) creates a "plaque stagnation area", which can accumulate food debris and micro-organisms (particularly plaque).

Keratin is also present in epithelial cells of tooth germ and a thin film of keratin is present on a recently erupted tooth (Nasmyth's membrane or enamel cuticle).
