Study Notes
Dental Anatomy, Physiology and Occlusion
- Subject covers dental anatomy, physiology, and occlusion
- Includes an introduction to the topic
- Tooth morphology is the study of external and internal tooth structure, function, eruption, and shedding
Tooth Morphology
- Deals with the external and internal structure, morphology, function, eruption, and shedding of teeth
- Covers all teeth in the mouth
Importance of Dental Anatomy Study
- Practitioners need knowledge of morphology, occlusion, aesthetics, phonetics, and tooth functions
- This helps differentiate between normal and abnormal cases
- Correct diagnoses and appropriate treatment are possible with this knowledge
Surface Form of the Oral Cavity
- Structures of the oral cavity include: lips, roof of mouth (palate), floor of mouth, tongue, uvula, palatine tonsils, gingiva, and teeth.
- The teeth are found in arches (maxilla and mandible)
Dental Anatomy
- The dentition refers to all teeth in the upper and lower jaws
- External and internal composition of teeth are studied
- The relationship of teeth to each other and the skull bone is examined
Teeth
- Arranged in two arches (maxillary and mandibular)
- Upper arch is the maxilla, and teeth here are maxillary or upper teeth
- Lower arch is the mandible, and the teeth here are mandibular or lower teeth
- Divided into four quadrants by a midline
- Each quadrant contains approximately equal teeth
Classes of Teeth
- Four main classes
- Incisors: Two per quadrant, used for cutting and incising
- Canines: One per quadrant, used for cutting and tearing
- Premolars: Two per quadrant, used for tearing and grinding
- Molars: Three per quadrant, used for grinding
Dentition Periods
- Clinically, humans have two dentitions: primary (deciduous) and permanent (secondary or succedaneous)
- Primary dentitions include 20 teeth (10 maxillary, 10 mandibular)
- 5 teeth present in each quadrant
- 2 incisors, 1 canine, and 2 molars
- Mixed dentition is a transitional period (6-12 years), often difficult for young children (ugly-duckling stage)
- Permanent dentition includes 32 teeth (16 maxillary, 16 mandibular)
- 8 teeth present in each quadrant (2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars).
- The permanent molars are not preceded by deciduous teeth.
Dental Traits
- Set traits distinguish deciduous teeth from permanent teeth
- Arch traits distinguish maxillary from mandibular
- Class traits differentiate the four tooth classes based on function
- Type traits differentiate teeth within a single class (e.g., differences between central and lateral incisors)
Tooth Numbering Systems
- Palmer Notation System: Represents quadrant using letters & numbers.
- FDI (Federation Dentaire Internationale) system: two-digit code to represent teeth in quadrants.
- Universal numbering system: prefaced by a #; numbers from 1-32 for permanent and A-T for deciduous, system is widely used in the US
Functions of Teeth
- Mastication: The most important function; teeth perform grinding and tearing
- Appearance: Aesthetics; proper teeth alignment improves facial expressions
- Speech: Pronunciation; clear pronunciation depends on teeth
- Growth of Jaws: Teeth play a role in jaw growth during certain life stages
- Protection: Teeth can protect animals from threats(biting)
- Para-masticatory: Use of teeth as tools
Parts of Teeth
- Crown, neck, and root
- Enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum
- Cemento-enamel junction (CEJ)
- Dentino-enamel junction (DEJ)
- Dentino-cemental junction (DCJ)
- Anatomical crown, anatomical root, clinical crown, clinical root, gingival recession.
Dental Tissues
- Enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum
- Enamel is the hardest tissue
- Cementum connects the tooth and the connective tissues
- Pulp connective tissue is the soft tissue in the tooth
Junctions of Tooth Tissues
- Cemento-enamel junction (CEJ)
- Dentino-enamel junction (DEJ)
- Dentino-cemental junction (DCJ)
Teeth and Investing Structures
- Investing structures surround and support teeth, including alveolar bone, oral mucosa, gingiva, saliva, and TMJ.
Tooth Surfaces
- Five surfaces: mesial, distal, facial (labial or buccal), lingual, and occlusal.
Tooth Division into Thirds
- Crown portions and thirds for descriptive purposes
- Root thirds
Line and Point Angles of Teeth
- Based on tooth surfaces; for anterior and posterior teeth
Anatomical Landmarks of the Crown
- Crown elevations: lobes (primary for calcification and growth) or cups(formed from primary lobes)
- Crown depressions: grooves (developmental), fissures, and sulci (depressions or valleys).
- Cusps are pyramidal projections; important for chewing and grinding.
- Cingulum is an enlargement or bulge.
- Mamelons are small projections.
- Tubercles are small elevations caused by excessive enamel formation.
- Enamel pearls are small enamel droplets on the dentin of tooth roots.
- Ridges are linear elevations.
The Pulp
- Two parts: Coronal and radicular pulp
- Pulp chamber, pulp horns, root canals, and apical foramen
The Periodontium
- Investing and supporting attachment of teeth
- Composed of two soft and two hard tissues (gingiva, cementum, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament)
Life History of Teeth
- Stages of development—Initiation, Bud, Cap, Bell, Apposition (dentinogenesis), Apposition (amelogenesis), Root formation and eruption, Attrition, Shedding
- Eruption patterns and timeline for both primary and permanent teeth
- Condition of teeth at different ages (birth, 6 months, 3 years, 6 years, 9 years, 12 years).
Mixed and Permanent Dentition
- Stages in the development and eruption in children
- Tooth patterns after eruption and root completion
