Description
Test your knowledge of permanent teeth anatomy with this quiz! Determine if the tooth is incisor, canine, premolar, or molar, and whether it is in the maxillary (mx) or mandibular (md) arch. Identify specific teeth like 1st/2nd premolar and 1st/2nd/3rd molar, and decide if it is on the right or left side. Learn about the unique characteristics of permanent teeth, such as smaller distal cus
