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.
