Study Notes
Deciduous Teeth
- Deciduous teeth erupt in the following order:
- Upper teeth: 7, 8, 18, 14, 24 months
- Lower teeth: 6, 7, 16, 12, 20 months
Primary First Molar (Upper and Lower D)
- Maxillary first molar:
- Has a predecessor (4) that is different from the 6
- Can have two types: four-cusp or three-cusp
- Four-cusp type: two buccal and two lingual cusps
- Three-cusp type: two buccal and one lingual cusp
- Geometric outline: trapezoid
- Buccal aspect:
- Very smooth surface with little evidence of developmental groove
- Occlusal surface is scalloped with no definite cusp ridge form
- Large MB cusp and small DB cusp
- Prominent cervical ridge with more prominence on the mesial half
- Roots:
- Three roots (MB, DB, and L) are thin and widely spread
- No root trunk
- Furcation is close to the cervical line
- Distal root is shorter than the mesial root
Primary Maxillary Second Molar
- Resembles the permanent maxillary first molar
- Larger than the deciduous maxillary first molar
- Roots are noticeably shorter
- General differences between the permanent and deciduous posterior teeth:
- Size
- Color
- Bulbous crown
- Prominent cervical ridge
- Thin and divergent roots
- Absence of root trunk
Mandibular First Molar
- Does not resemble any other deciduous or permanent teeth
- Primitive appearance
- Buccal aspect:
- Trapezoid outline
- Mesial contour of the crown is nearly straight
- Distal side is convex and converges toward the cervix
- MB cusp is much wider than DB cusp
- No groove between them
- Roots:
- Long, slender, and widely spread
- No root trunk
- Furcation is close to the cervical line
Primary Mandibular Second Molar
- Larger than the first molar
- Smaller than the permanent mandibular first molar
- Resembles the permanent mandibular first molar
- General differences between the deciduous and permanent teeth:
- Size
- Color
- Bulbous crown
- Prominent cervical ridge
- Thin and divergent roots
- Absence of root trunk
- However, there are differences between the deciduous and permanent mandibular first molars:
- Number of cusps and roots
- Elevations and depressions
- Geometric outline of occlusal surface
