Study Notes
Different Dentitions
- Different dentitions are studied in oral and dental science.
- GDC Learning Outcomes include describing oral diseases and their treatment relevance to prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
- Understanding general and systemic disease and their oral health relevance is also important.
- Knowing relevant dental, oral, craniofacial, and general anatomy is crucial, along with its application to patient management.
- The aim is to help students understand dental terminology, primary and permanent teeth's functions, and their positions in the oral cavity and associated tooth anatomy and morphology.
- Intended learning outcomes include recognizing and describing basic tooth structure and surrounding tissues.
- Listing the functions of teeth, describing terminology in tooth morphology for recognizing surface landmarks are part of the learning process.
- Reviewing clinical notations of primary and secondary teeth is another intended outcome.
Assessment
- Formative assessment includes question and answer sessions, learning activities, and workbooks.
- Summative assessment includes questions within eassessments.
Clinical Skills Laboratory Session
- Resources provided include primary upper and lower jaws and permanent upper and lower jaws.
Basic Tooth Structure
- Description of the basic tooth including structure.
Dental Anatomy
- Refer to oral histology lectures for more detailed descriptions of dental anatomy.
- An image of a cross-section of a tooth is provided.
Tooth Description
- The outer surface of the anatomical crown is the enamel. It is the hardest substance in the body with 96% inorganic and 4% organic plus water composition.
- The dense mineral content allows it to resist wear, thickest at the incisal or occlusal area and thins towards the cervix or cervical margin.
What is being described (Connective Tissue)
- A layer of connective tissue surrounds the root of the tooth.
- It occupies the space between the root and the alveolar bone socket.
- The tissue attaches the root and socket.
- The tissue has fibers that connect alveolar bone and cementum, acting as a cushion or shock absorber when teeth close together.
What is being described (Pulp)
- Dentine walls contain connective tissue with nerve fibers, blood vessels, and lymph.
- These components enter from the apical foramen.
- The pulp chamber in the crown and the root canal in the root make up the part of the tooth.
What is being described (Periodontal Membrane)
- A tough layer of connective tissue covers the bone of the jaws.
- Vessels supply bone nutrients.
- Tissue around tooth necks tightly holds the outermost tissue preventing debris from passing down.
- Teeth are shaped to deflect food to protect surrounding tissues from injury.
What is being described (Cementum)
- A thin, pale, yellow calcified tissue that covers the root of the tooth.
- It has a bone-like composition.
- Its function is to attach fibers providing tooth attachment.
What is being described (Dentine)
- Enamel forms the bulk of the tooth, tough, slightly elastic, and yellow in color.
- Unlike enamel, dentine can react to injury and stimuli and repair itself by laying down a tertiary layer.
Student Task- Tooth Morphology Workbook
- Students are to complete a table about tooth structure and drag and drop labels to a diagram of a tooth.
Functions of Teeth (General)
- Information needed to cover functions of various types of teeth is focused on.
Dental Terminology (General)
- Included are instructions to watch a video on basic dental anatomy for first year students.
Dental Terminology (Specific)
- A variety of images/ diagrams of teeth are shown, including specific labels of parts of the teeth.
- Terms like Mesial, Distal, Distal fossa, Marginal ridges, Cingulum, are explained.
Learner Task
- Complete workbook section on dental terminology and research any unclear terms.
Dental Notation
- Description of different dental notations, including Palmer, FDI Primary and FDI Permanent notation for primary and permanent teeth. Figures to support the explanation are also given.
Maxillary and Mandibular Arch
- Figures are shown explaining different teeth on the maxillary and mandibular arch both primary and permanent.
How many dentitions?
- Images of different dentitions (primary and permanent) are provided.
Why is tooth morphology and dentitions important
- Understanding tooth morphology and different dentitions is important in dental practice.
Primary Dentition
- Questions include “Also known as?”, How many teeth?”, “Name the teeth” and “Configuration in each quadrant?”. Information is given for each.
Permanent Dentition
- Questions include “Also known as?”, How many teeth”, Name the teeth” and “Configuration in each quadrant”. Information is given for each.
Identifying Teeth
- Guide on how to identify teeth based on aspects such as whether it's a primary or permanent tooth, its type(incisor, canine, premolar, or molar), whether it's maxillary or mandibular, central or lateral, first or second premolar or whether it's a molar and first, second or third molar. .
Resources/Further Reading
- References for useful resources related to tooth morphology, including websites and videos that include aspects of, Faculty of medicine and health, basic dental anatomy and Pocket dentistry.
