    Study Notes

    Dental Anatomy

    • Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy focused on the study of human teeth structures.
    • Teeth development, appearance, and classification fall under its scope.
    • Dental anatomy also functions as a taxonomic science, identifying and naming teeth and their component structures. This information is crucial in dental treatments.

    Defined as

    • The study of tooth development, morphology, function, and identification within the human dentition.
    • Also includes how teeth relate to each other within the same arch and the opposing arch, considering features like shape, form, structure, color, and function.

    Human Dentition

    • Heterodont: Different types of teeth are present.
    • Diphyodont: Two sets of teeth throughout a lifetime.

    Formation of Dentitions

    • Diphyodont: Life involves two sets of teeth.
    • 1. Temporary Teeth (Deciduous): Also known as deciduous, primary, baby, or milk teeth.
      • Form around 14 weeks in utero, completing development by age 3.
      • Erupt, largely, between 6 months and 28 months (average of 3 years).
    • 2. Permanent Teeth (Secondary): Also known as the secondary dentition or permanent teeth.
      • Erupt around age 6, marking the transition stage.

    Transition Stage

    • Mixed dentition stage or "ugly duckling stage."
    • The mixture of deciduous and permanent teeth are present.
    • Usually ages 6-12, a challenging period for children.
      • Common issues include habits, missing teeth, varying colors/hues, crowding, and malpositioning.

    Two Types of Permanent Teeth

    • 1. Succedaneous Teeth:
      • Permanent teeth that replace deciduous teeth in the dental arch.
      • Includes central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, and premolars.
    • 2. Non-Succedaneous Teeth: Also known as the accessional dentition.
      • Includes the first, second, and third molars on the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) jaws.

    Deciduous Teeth

    • Contain 20 teeth:
      • 8 incisors
      • 4 canines
      • 8 molars

    Eruption Sequences of Deciduous Teeth

    • Lists the timing of eruption for each deciduous tooth in months.

    The Permanent Teeth

    • The first permanent molar typically erupts around age 6.
    • The set contains 32 teeth:
      • 8 incisors
      • 4 canines
      • 8 premolars
      • 12 molars

    Tooth Types Based on Location

    • 1. Anterior Teeth: Front teeth—central & lateral incisors, and canines.
    • 2. Posterior Teeth: Back teeth—premolars and molars.

    Tooth Surfaces

    • Incisors and Canines—4 surfaces and 1 ridge.
    • Premolars and Molars—5 surfaces.
      • Incisal surfaces: For incisors and canines, the surfaces facing in contact with those in the opposite jaw.
      • Occlusal surfaces: For premolars and molars, the surfaces facing in contact with those in the opposite jaw during tooth closure.
      • Labial / buccal surfaces: The surfaces of teeth towards the lips/cheeks.
      • Lingual surfaces: The surfaces facing the tongue.
      • Mesial surfaces: Proximal surfaces oriented towards the midline.
      • Distal surfaces: Proximal surfaces further from the midline.
      • Proximal surfaces: The surfaces of adjacent teeth.
      • Contact areas: Points where adjacent teeth in the same arch touch.

    Other Landmarks

    • Includes cusp, tubercle, cingulum, ridge, marginal ridge, triangular ridge, transverse ridge, oblique ridge, fossa, sulcus, developmental grove, supplemental groove, pit, and lobe.

    Root Types

    • 1. Mono-rooted: One root (e.g., anterior teeth)
    • 2. Bi-rooted: Two roots (e.g., premolars and some molars)
    • 3. Multi-rooted: Three or more roots (e.g., some molars)

    Tooth Numbering Systems

    • Various systems exist (e.g., Palmer, Universal, FDI).
      • Details for each are provided, including examples.

    One Way Traffic

    • System for naming teeth based on order in quadrants (e.g., URPQ, UA, ULQP, LLPQ, LA, LRPQ).

    Identifying Teeth

    • Steps for correctly identifying teeth including side (right/left), jaw (maxilla/mandible), tooth type (incisor, canine, premolar or molar), and tooth set (primary/permanent).

    Terminology

    • Dental terminology is critical for accurate communication in dental practice.
