Dentition Natural teeth in position in the dental arch. Arch One row of teeth in the mouth. Maxillary Upper teeth Mandibular Lower teeth Dentition
Permanent 32 total 16 each arch 20 succedaneous Replace baby teeth! Primary 20 total 10 each arch NO pre-molars NO 3rd molars Numbers of teeth
Each arch is divided into R + L. Midline Max. R. quadrant URQ Max. L. quadrant ULQ Man. L quadrant LLQ Man. R quadrant LRQ Quadrants
6 sections of the mouth 3 of each arch Maxillary Max. R. Post. Sextant Max. Anterior Sextant Max. L. Post. Sextant Mandibular Mand. L. Post. Sextant Mand. Anterior Sextant Mand. R. Post. Sextant Sextants
Anterior Facial / Labial Lingual Mesial Distal Incisal edge Posterior Facial / Buccal Lingual Mesial Distal Occlusal Proximal surfaces? Surfaces of adjacent teeth closest to each other. Mesial / Distal Midline Mesial / Mesial Example You floss the proximal surfaces of a tooth. Your floss would be interproximal. Between the proximal surfaces. Tooth surfaces
Antagonistic (Antagonists) Teeth that work together to chew Same tooth in the opposite arch. #1 and #32 #14 and #19 Adjacent Teeth next to each other in the same arch. #17 and #18 Tooth Relationships
Convex Outward curve Bulge Rounded projection Concave Inward curve Recessed area Opposite of convex Tooth descriptions convex Concave
Contact point Where adjacent teeth touch each other. Diastema Aka open contact Naturally occurring ‘gap’ between teeth Common #8 #9 Any 2 teeth/arch Tooth Morphology
Embrasure Triangular space between the contact and the gingiva. Cingulum Lump of enamel Lingual surface @ the gum line. Maxillary incisors Tooth Morphology
Lobes Underdeveloped cusps. Cusp Pointed or round mound of enamel. Form the ‘bumps’ on the chewing surface of molars and premolars. “cuspid”! Tooth Morphology
Fossa Round Triangular “low spot” / recessed area On a surface Between cusps or ridges. Developmental groove. Linear “low spot” / recessed area Usually occlusal surface Between cusps Tooth Morphology
Fissure Imperfect union of cusps Appears as a small “crack” Located at the bottom of a developmental groove Pit Where fissures cross or end. Sealants are placed in pits and fissures to prevent decay. Tooth Morphology
Mamelons 3 small cusps Incisal edge Newly erupted incisors. Wear down w/ use. Cusp of Carabelli 5th/ additional cusp Lingual surface Maxillary 1st molars #3 + #14 Tooth Morphology
Ridges Elevated lines of enamel between cusps. Many examples Marginal ridges Form the mesial + distal borders of the tooth. Extend between the buccal and lingual cusps Tooth Morphology
Crown Top of the tooth Covered w/ enamel Root(s) Bottom of the tooth Covered w/ cementum Apex End of the root Apical foramen Hole @ apex Tooth Morphology
Furcation Dividing point of roots Of a multi-rooted tooth Bifurcation 2 roots Trifurcation 3 roots Tooth Morphology Furcation
CEJ Cementoenamel junction Where enamel meets cementum. Around the outside of the tooth. DEJ Dentinoenamel junction Where enamel meets the dentin. Under the enamel Tooth tissue junctions
