    Study Notes

    Dental Development and Dentition

    • The permanent dentition begins to erupt around 6 years of age.
    • Primary teeth, also known as deciduous teeth, are formed in utero and are completed around 3 years of age.
    • The transition to mixed dentition occurs between 6-12 years of age.
    • The Universal Numbering System starts with the upper right third molar and progresses to the upper left third molar for permanent teeth.
    • The upper arch is referred to as the maxilla, and the lower arch is referred to as the mandible.

    Tooth Structure and Function

    • The incisal edge is the surface of a tooth used for cutting in an anterior tooth.
    • The occlusal surface is the surface of a tooth used for chewing in a posterior tooth.
    • The contact point is the surface of a tooth responsible for preventing the lodging of food.
    • Marginal ridges serve to prevent the lodging of food in the contact point.

    Primary Dentition

    • There are 20 teeth in the primary dentition.
    • The primary dentition phase begins at birth and ends with the exfoliation of the last primary tooth around 12-14 years old.
    • The primary maxillary central incisor is the first tooth to erupt, and the primary mandibular second molar is the last tooth to erupt.

    Tooth Characteristics

    • The primary mandibular second molar has almost equal-sized cusps.
    • The primary maxillary first molar has a triangular ridge on the occlusal surface that terminates at the Central Developmental Groove (CDG).
    • The primary maxillary lateral incisor has a distal root that is rounder, shorter, and more tapered.
    • The primary mandibular canine has a lingual cusp that is almost centered lingually and in line with the mesial root.

    Developmental Anomalies and Pulp

    • The formula for estimating the timing of enamel hypoplasia is: Age (in years) = Crown height (mm) / 3.6 + 1.6.
    • Developmental anomalies in dental roots can occur due to genetic or environmental factors.
    • The dental pulp's primary function is to produce dentin and respond to stimuli.
    • The cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is the boundary between enamel and cementum on the root surface.
