Study Notes
Dentition Overview
- Primary dentition consists of 20 deciduous teeth.
- Secondary dentition includes 32 permanent teeth.
Arch Structures
- The upper arch is referred to as the maxillary arch.
- The lower arch is called the mandibular arch.
Quadrants of Dentition
- Dentition is divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left.
- Each quadrant is one-fourth of the dentition.
Teeth Composition
- A permanent dentition quadrant contains eight teeth: central and lateral incisors, canine, two premolars, and three molars.
- A deciduous dentition quadrant consists of five teeth: two incisors, one canine, and two molars.
Types of Teeth
- Succedaneous teeth are permanent teeth that replace deciduous teeth, specifically incisors, canines, and premolars.
- Nonsuccedaneous teeth do not replace any deciduous teeth, which includes all molars.
Mixed Dentition
- Mixed dentition refers to the presence of both primary and permanent teeth within the dental arches concurrently.
Dental Coding Systems
- The Universal System employs Arabic numerals (1-32) for permanent teeth and letters (A-T) for primary teeth.
- The Palmer notation system codes teeth using brackets, numbers, and letters; secondary teeth are numbered 1-8 from the midline, while primary teeth use capital letters A-E.
- FDI system assigns a two-digit number to each tooth, with the first digit indicating the quadrant and tooth type (1-4 for permanent, 5-8 for deciduous).
Universal Symbols for Specific Teeth
- Symbol 19 represents the secondary mandibular left first molar.
- Symbol 5 designates the secondary maxillary right first premolar.
- Letter B indicates the primary maxillary right first molar.
- Letter O symbolizes the primary mandibular left central incisor.
Naming and Coding Order
- The order to name and code teeth is as follows: dentition, arch, quadrant, tooth name.
Miscellaneous
- The primary dentition has 20 teeth, while the secondary mandibition comprises 32 teeth in total.
- Each arch has 10 deciduous teeth and 16 permanent teeth overall.
- Secondary molars are classified as nonsuccedaneous teeth, as they do not replace primary teeth.
Recognition of Universal System Numbers and Letters
- Identification of Universal symbols:
- Number 3 corresponds to the permanent maxillary right first molar.
- Number 28 indicates the permanent mandibular right first premolar.
- Letter A is for the primary maxillary right second molar.
- Symbol F represents the primary maxillary left central incisor.
