    Study Notes

    • The unit being studied is Unit 16, which focuses on the architectural elements of teeth.

    • Understanding these elements is crucial for understanding the morphology of each tooth and their characteristics.

    • The chapter covers the anatomical elements that form part of the morphology of each tooth, known as architectural elements.

    • Architectural elements are anatomic formations that are found on the different surfaces of each tooth and are characteristic of each tooth.

    • These elements can be divided into two groups: elevations (prominences) and depressions (cavities).

    • The elevations are characterized by being in relief and include elements such as cusps, tubercles, marginal ridges, and crests.

    • Cusps are prominences of enamel that have a pyramidal shape with a base that is welded to the body of the tooth.

    • Cusps are found mainly in premolars and molars, specifically on the occlusal surface of posterior teeth.

    • There are three types of cusps: those formed by faceted arms united by a ridge, those with a central depression or concavity, and those with rounded or bulbous shapes.

    • Tubercles are small elevations of enamel that are found on the crown of the tooth and are added to the normal anatomical structures.

    • Tubercles have a variable size, but their height never exceeds one-third of the coronal height.

    • Tubercles are commonly found in certain teeth, such as the permanent first molar and the temporary first molar.

    • The tubercle of Carabelli is a small elevation found on the palatal surface of the permanent first molar superior, behind the middle lobe.

    • The tubercle of Carabelli is symmetrical, meaning it appears on both the right and left sides of the mouth.

    • The tubercle of Carabelli is not always present, but appears in 58% of cases.

    • The tubercle of Zuckerkandl is found on the temporary first molar, both superior and inferior, and is located on the vestibular surface, in the cervical third.

    • This tubercle is constant, meaning it always appears on the temporary first molar, and is symmetrical, appearing on both sides of the mouth.
