Dentition Review Chapter 11

Study Notes

Chapter 11 - Review of Dentitions

Two sets of teeth in a lifetime: Primary and Permanent dentitions.
Primary dentition comprises 20 teeth; Permanent dentition consists of 32 teeth.
Dental arches are divided into four sections known as quadrants.
Teeth categorized as front (anterior) and back (posterior).
Four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
Canines are the "cornerstone" of the dental arch, providing stability.
The five surfaces of teeth are facial, lingual, masticatory (occlusal), mesial, and distal.
Interproximal space refers to the space between adjacent teeth.
Contact area is the site where adjacent teeth physically touch.
Embrasure is the triangular space between adjacent teeth, directed toward the gingiva.
Line angle denotes the junction of two tooth surfaces.
Apical third indicates the area nearest the end of the root.
Functional occlusion describes teeth positions during chewing movements.
Malocclusion defines teeth that are in poor occlusion.
Class III malocclusion is termed mesioclusion.
Neutral occlusion is classified as Class I.
Curve of Wilson describes the curvature of the occlusal plane.

Chapter 12 - Tooth Morphology

Permanent dentition includes 12 anterior teeth.
Succedaneous teeth replace primary teeth.
Cingulum refers to the rounded, raised area on the cervical third of the lingual surface of anterior teeth.
Newly erupted central and lateral incisors exhibit mamelons on the incisal ridge.
Permanent canines are the longest teeth in the permanent dentition.
Mandibular central incisors are the smallest teeth in the permanent dentition.
Imbrication lines are developmental horizontal lines on anterior teeth.
Marginal ridges border the occlusal table of posterior teeth.
Developmental pits are the pinpoint depressions where two or more grooves meet.
Mandibular second premolars have two morphological forms: Tricanineate (three cusp type) and Bicanineate (two cusp type).
A trifurcated tooth has three roots.
Nonsuccedaneous teeth do not replace primary teeth.
The fifth cusp on a maxillary first molar is called the cusp of Carabelli.
Wisdom teeth refer to the third molars.
Mandibular molars possess two roots.
Enamel covering on primary teeth is relatively thin.
Universal/National Tooth-Numbering System designates primary dentition with letters A-T.
Primary anterior incisors do not have mamelons.
Maxillary first molars exhibit an H-shaped groove pattern on the occlusal surface.
The largest primary mandibular molar is the second molar.
