Study Notes
Tooth Numbering Systems
- Palmer Notation System uses a diagram with 8 quadrants, each with 8 teeth numbered 1-8 starting from the midline.
- International Number System uses two digits, the first indicating the quadrant (UR: 1, UL: 2, LR: 3, LL: 4) and the second indicating the tooth number (1-8).
- Universal Numbering System uses a single digit, 1-32 for permanent teeth and 1-20 for primary teeth, with the letter "d" preceding the number for primary teeth.
Tooth Anatomy
- Crown: The visible part of the tooth above the gum line.
- Neck: The constricted area between the crown and the root.
- Root: The part of the tooth embedded in the jawbone.
Tooth Tissues
- Enamel: The hardest tissue in the body, covering the crown.
- Dentin: The main bulk of the tooth, located beneath enamel.
- Cementum: A bone-like tissue covering the root.
- Pulp: Soft tissue containing blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics.
Tooth Surfaces
- Labial/Buccal: The surface facing the lips or cheeks.
- Palatal/Lingual: The surface facing the palate or tongue.
- Mesial: The surface facing the midline of the mouth.
- Distal: The surface facing away from the midline of the mouth.
- Incisal (Anterior): The biting edge of anterior teeth.
- Occlusal (Posterior): The chewing surface of posterior teeth.
Line Angles
- Formed by the meeting of two surfaces.
- Anterior teeth have 6 line angles.
- Posterior teeth have 8 line angles.
Point Angles
- Formed by the meeting of three surfaces.
- Anterior teeth have 4 point angles.
- Posterior teeth have 4 point angles.
Division Into Thirds
- Incisal/Occlusal
- Middle
- Cervical
- Apical
- Mesial/Buccal/Lingual/Distal
