Study Notes
Tooth Designation and Dentition Systems
- International Numbering System (INS) designates quadrants with the first digit; teeth are numbered 1 to 5 from the midline distally.
- Primary teeth use digits 5 through 8 for the first digit; the second digit also uses 1 through 5 starting from the midline distally.
- Palmer Notation Method uses right-angle symbols to indicate quadrants and arches, with tooth numbers placed inside the symbol.
Dental Anatomy Terminology
- Root surfaces often have concavities (indentations).
- The area between multiple roots is referred to as furcation.
- Each tooth has five surfaces: facial (buccal/labial), lingual (palatal), occlusal, mesial, and distal.
Surface Orientation
- Facial surfaces are closest to the face; anterior teeth have labial surfaces, and posterior teeth have buccal surfaces.
- Lingual surfaces are closest to the tongue; those near the palate are termed palatal surfaces.
- Masticatory surfaces are the chewing surfaces, with anterior teeth having incisal surfaces and posterior teeth having occlusal surfaces.
Proximal and Contact Areas
- Mesial and distal surfaces define a tooth's proximity to the midline, while the area between adjacent teeth is called the interproximal space.
- Contact areas are where adjacent teeth touch, and each tooth, except third molars, contacts two neighboring teeth (one mesial, one distal).
Line and Point Angles
- Each tooth has line angles, with posterior teeth having 8 per tooth and anterior teeth having 6.
- Point angles are defined at the junction of three tooth surfaces, and each tooth has four point angles.
Assignments and Examination
- Workbook assignments include figures from the Student Workbook, emphasizing clarity and neatness in submissions.
- Examination #1 covers chapters on face and neck regions, oral cavity and pharynx, and an overview of dentitions, including various types of questions.
- Examination date is set for September 9th at 10:15 AM in MSA 006; preparation includes readings and reviews.
Administrative Notes
- Use only blue or black ink; no pencils allowed.
- Ensure clear writing to avoid point deductions for illegibility or spelling errors.
- Submit assignments in person, staple them, and include full name and student ID.
