Study Notes
Upper Central Incisors
- Mesial incisal angle sharp
- Distal incisal angle rounded
- Palatal view: Crown concave
- Pronounced mesial and distal marginal ridges
- Large cingulum
- Mesial/Distal view: Crown bulky cervically
- Single root, one half inclines labially to allow eruption of permanent incisor
- One root canal, 2 pulp horns (mesially and distally)
Upper Lateral Incisors
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 4.5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 5 months, eruption ~ 8-9 months, root completion ~ 1.5-2 years.
- Labial view: Crown less square than central incisor, mesial incisal angle sharp, distal incisal angle rounded.
- Palatal view: Crown concave, well-defined marginal ridges, definite cingulum (less pronounced than central incisor)
- Mesial view: Crown appears bulky laterally, cervical undulation, single root, one root canal, 2 pulp horns (mesially and distally)
Upper Canine
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 9 months, eruption ~ 16-20 months, root completion ~ 3 years.
- Labial view: Crown is almost symmetrical, enamel ridge runs from crown tip to cervical margin, creating mesial and distal depressions (fossae). The distal surface is slightly more rounded.
- Palatal view: Mesial and distal marginal ridges, pronounced cingulum, enamel ridge from cusp tip to cingulum producing mesial and distal fossae
- Mesial view: Bulky crown, cervical undulation, one root, one root canal, no pulp horns
Upper First Molar
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 6 months, eruption ~ 12-16 months, root completion ~ 2-2.5 years
- Buccal view: 2 cusps: large mesio-buccal, small disto-buccal. 2 buccal roots: mesio-buccal (larger cusp) and disto-buccal
- Palatal view: 2 palatal cusps: large mesio-palatal, small disto-palatal, Single palatal root
- Mesial view: A large bulge of enamel cervically over the mesio-buccal root called the tubercle of Zuckerkandl, 3 root canals, and 4 pulp horns (one per cusp).
Upper Second Molar
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 6 months in utero, crown completion ~ 10-12 months, eruption ~ 1.75-2.5 years, root completion ~ 3 years.
- Buccal view: 4 cusps: mesio-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-palatal, disto-palatal. May be a palatal cusp of Carabelli. 2 buccal roots: mesio-buccal and disto-buccal
- Palatal view: Oblique ridge between disto-buccal and mesio-palatal cusps, mesio-palatal cusp the largest, disto-palatal cusp the smallest, disto-palatal groove, one palatal root
- Mesial view: 3 root canals, 4 pulp horns
Lower Central Incisor
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 4.5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 4 months, eruption ~ 6.5 months, root completion ~ 1.5-2 years.
- Labial view: Almost symmetrical, sharp mesial incisal angle, rounded distal incisal angle, single root, one root canal
- Lingual view: Large cingulum, quite reduced mesial and distal marginal ridges, cervical undulation mesially and distally
- Mesial and distal pulp horns
Lower Lateral Incisor
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 4.5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 4.5 months, eruption ~ 7 months, root completion ~ 1.5-2 years
- Labial view: Crown fan-shaped with a long mesial side and a shorter distal side. Mesio-incisal angle sharp, disto-incisal angle rounded
- Lingual view: Large single cingulum, Mesial and distal marginal ridges, one root, similar to that of the deciduous central incisor, one root canal and one mesial and one distal pulp horn
- Mesial view: Crown appears wedge-shaped and bulbous cervically, cervical undulation
Lower Canine
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 9 months, eruption ~ 16-20 months, root completion ~ 2.5-3 years.
- Labial view: Crown convex, mesial shorter than distal incisal slope, one root (roughly triangular cross-section) curving distally and labially, one root canal, no pulp horns
- Lingual view: Crown concave, mesial and distal marginal ridges, a poorly defined enamel ridge from cusp tip to cingulum, producing mesial and distal fossae, distal surface more rounded
- Distal view: Cervical undulation on mesial and distal surfaces, root curved labially
Lower First Molar
- Chronology: Initial calcification ~ 5 months in utero, crown completion ~ 6 months, eruption ~ 12-16 months, root completion ~ 2-2.5 years.
