Study Notes
Upper Central Incisors
- The mesio-incisal angle is sharp, while the disto-incisal angle is rounded.
- Mamelons are often present when newly erupted.
- The palatal surface is concave, with mesial and distal marginal ridges that are raised areas.
- Marginal ridges meet centrally near the gingival margin to form the convex cingulum.
- Above the cingulum is the hollow cingulum pit.
- The crown enamel margin undulates mesially and distally.
- The tooth has one single, tapering root and one root canal with two pulp horns, one mesial and one distal.
Upper First Premolars
- The buccal view shows a flared tooth shape with a more mesial fossa than the upper second premolar.
- The palatal view shows a mesial fossa.
Upper Second Premolars
- The buccal view shows a more flared tooth shape with a more mesial fossa than the upper first premolar.
- The palatal view shows a mesial fossa.
Lower First Premolars
- There are two cusps, one large buccal cusp and one much smaller lingual cusp.
- Initial calcification occurs between 1 ¾-2 years.
- Crown completion occurs between 5-6 years.
- Eruption occurs between 10-12 years.
- Root completion occurs between 12-13 years.
Upper First Molars
- There are four cusps: mesio-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-palatal, and disto-palatal.
- The mesio-buccal cusp is the largest.
- The disto-palatal cusp is the smallest.
- The mesio-buccal cusp is higher than the disto-buccal cusp.
- There is sometimes an additional cusp present on the palatal surface of the mesio-palatal cusp called the Cusp of Carabelli.
- The crown is an equilateral rhomboid, with the mesio-distal dimension being roughly equal to the bucco-palatal dimension.
Lower Second Molars
- The mesial-lingual cusp is higher than the disto-lingual cusp.
- The overall occlusal shape is rectangular.
- The buccal and lingual cusp tips are opposite each other.
- There is a cross-shaped groove pattern.
- It has two roots, one mesial and one distal.
- The mesial root is wider and often grooved.
- The buccal surface is curved, while the lingual surface is straighter.
- The distal root is narrower.
- There are 3-4 root canals and 4 pulp horns.
- There is a deeper buccal groove and a less deep lingual groove.
- There are three fossae.
Mandibular Third Molars
- Initial calcification occurs between 8-10 years.
- Crown completion occurs between 12-16 years.
- Eruption occurs between 17-21 years.
- Root completion occurs between 18-25 years.
- The tooth has a very variable size and form.
- It has 4, 5, or 6 cusps.
- The number of roots is variable and they may be fused.
- The roots often have a marked distal inclination.
- The tooth has a very curved, convex buccal wall.
- The crown is bulbous.
- The mesial root is broader than the distal root.
