    Dental Anatomy and Morphology of Permanent Teeth

    • Detailed and illustrated description of permanent dentition morphology
    • Covers nomenclature, age of emergence, tooth tissue (pulp, dentin, enamel, cement), and morphology of all permanent teeth
    • Focuses on individual morphology and variations of each tooth
    • Aims to restore function, integrity, and morphology of the oral cavity
    • Direct dental materials are carved to match natural tooth shapes, outlines, contacts, shade, and translucence
    • Dental morphology is crucial for prosthodontic fields

    Introduction to Dental Anatomy and Morphology

    • Human dentitions support mastication, speech, and facial aesthetics
    • Teeth are composed of four types: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars
    • Primary (deciduous) dentition develops prenatally (14 weeks) and completes postnatally (3 years)
    • 20 total teeth in primary dentition (10 maxillary, 10 mandibular)
    • Permanent dentition (32 total teeth): 16 maxillary, 16 mandibular, 8 teeth/side of jaw
    • Four incisors, two canines, four premolars, and six molars in each jaw
