Study Notes
Dog Dental Formula
- Incisors: 3 deciduous, 1 permanent on top, 3 deciduous, 3 permanent on bottom
- Canines: 1 deciduous, 1 permanent on top, 1 deciduous, 1 permanent on bottom
- Premolars: 3 deciduous, 3 permanent on top, 3 deciduous, 4 permanent on bottom
- Molars: 0 deciduous, 2 permanent on top, 3 deciduous, 3 permanent on bottom
- Total deciduous teeth: 14
- Total permanent teeth: 21
Tooth Anatomy
- Each tooth has a crown, root, and neck
- Crown: The visible part of the tooth, covered in enamel
- Ends in different ways depending on the type of tooth:
- Incisor: horizontal cutting edge called incisal ridge
- Canine, premolar, molar: tapered, sharply pointed end called cusp
- Ends in different ways depending on the type of tooth:
- Root: The part of the tooth below the gum line, covered by cementum
- Single rooted or multiple rooted; can be bifucation (2 roots) or trifurcation (3 roots)
- Neck: Junction between the crown and root
- Cervical border where enamel and cementum meet (cemento-enamel junction, CEJ)
###Â Tooth Micro-anatomy
- Enamel: Hardest tissue in the body, covers the crown
- Cementum: Dull yellow tissue covering the root, helps attach the periodontal ligament
- Dentin: Yellowish hard tissue located under the enamel and cementum
- Pulp: Soft tissue inside the tooth, contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves
Oral Structures
- Lips: Upper and lower lips meet at the commissure
- Nasolabial groove: Runs diagonally downward from the nostril to the corner of the lip
- Labiomental groove: Runs horizontally under the lower lip
- Gingiva: Masticatory tissue surrounding the cervical portion of the teeth, firmly attached to teeth and bone
- Cheek: Inner lining is smooth, has a white line (linea alba buccalis) where teeth meet
- Parotid papilla: Round elevation of tissue on the cheek, covers the parotid duct (Stensen's duct)
- Tongue: Broad, flat organ made of muscle fibers and glands, responsible for manipulating food during chewing; primary organ for taste
- Floor of the Mouth: Shiny, may have visible blood vessels, two bilateral bulges due to large salivary glands
- Roof of the Mouth (Palate):
- Hard palate: Front portion
- Soft palate: Posterior portion, sometimes reddish
- Vibrating line: Junction of hard and soft palates
- Uvula: Small, fleshy structure hanging from the soft palate
Teeth
- Two arches: maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower)
- Four quadrants: maxillary right, mandibular right, maxillary left, mandibular left
- Types of teeth:
- Incisors: Two front teeth in each quadrant
- Central incisor: First tooth next to midline
- Lateral incisor: Second tooth
- Canines: One canine in each quadrant, third tooth from the midline
- Premolars (bicuspids): Two premolars in each quadrant
- First premolar: Fourth tooth from the midline
- Second premolar: Fifth tooth from the midline
- Molars: Three molars in each quadrant
- First molar: Sixth tooth from the midline
- Second molar: Seventh tooth from the midline
- Third molar: Eighth tooth from the midline
- Incisors: Two front teeth in each quadrant
Dentitions
- Deciduous (primary) dentition: Exfoliates/shed
- Begins around 6 months, ends at 6 years
- Eruption begins at 6 months (lower central incisor), ends at 2 years (upper second deciduous molar)
- Called milk teeth, baby teeth, or temporary teeth
- 20 teeth total: 10 maxillary, 10 mandibular (5 in each quadrant)
- Two incisors
- One canine
- Two molars
- Mixed dentition: Period when permanent and deciduous teeth coexist
- Starts with eruption of the first permanent molar (around 6 years), ends around 12
- Deciduous teeth are shed, permanent erupt into their place
- Permanent dentition: Adult teeth, begins around 12 years, lasts throughout life
- 32 teeth total: 16 maxillary, 16 mandibular (8 in each quadrant)
- Two incisors
- One canine
- Two premolars
- Three molars
- 32 teeth total: 16 maxillary, 16 mandibular (8 in each quadrant)
- Important Considerations:
- Permanent premolars replace deciduous molars
- Permanent molars are not preceded by deciduous teeth (non-succedaneous)
- There are 12 more permanent teeth than deciduous teeth (3 molars per quadrant)
Dental Formula
- Expresses type and number of teeth in one side of the mouth
- Human deciduous tooth formula: 2/2 | 1/1 | 0/0 | 2/2 | = 10
- Human permanent tooth formula: 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | = 16
- I: Incisors
- C: Canines
- PM: Premolars
- M: Molars
Rat Dental Formula
- 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | = 8
- Only permanent teeth
Pulp Cavity
- Divided into pulp chamber and root canal
- Pulp chamber: Widened portion of the pulp located in the center of the crown
- Extends into cusps or mamelons, forming pulp horns
- Root canal: Located within the tooth root
- Terminates at the apical foramen, where neurovascular bundles enter
- Shape mirrors that of the root
- May have accessory canals or multiple canals with separate foramina
