Study Notes

Teeth in the human mouth include incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
Incisors are the first and lateral teeth from the midline in each quadrant and function in biting, cutting, and incising.
Canines are the third tooth from the midline in each quadrant and function in cutting, tearing, piercing, and holding.
Premolars are the two teeth closest to the midline in each quadrant and have functions in mastication, including tearing, holding, and grinding. They are present only in permanent teeth.
The dental formula for human teeth includes I (incisors) C (canines) P (premolars), and M (molars) for both deciduous and permanent teeth.
Human dentition goes through three stages: primary dentition (from 6 months to 6 years), mixed dentition (between 6 and 12 years), and secondary dentition (after 12 years).
Permanent teeth can be classified as succedaneous (teeth that replace deciduous teeth) or non-succedaneous (teeth without predecessors).
Teeth can be grouped into anterior (incisors and canines) and posterior (premolars and molars) categories.
The numbering system for teeth includes the Universal Numbering System (using letters and numbers) and the Palmer Notation System (using letters only).
The Federation Dentaire International (FDI) system uses a two-digit numbering system.
Teeth serve various functions, including mastication, appearance, speech, growth of jaws, and forensic odontology.
Each tooth has five surfaces: facial, labial, lingual, palatal, and proximal.
Incisors have a mastication (occlusal) and incisal surface, while posterior teeth have an occlusal surface.
