Study Notes
Primary Dentition Tooth Morphology
- Task 1: Research the differences between primary and permanent dentitions. Create a table or spider diagram.
- Task 2: Complete the Chronology table, List 3-5 identifying features, list the number of cusps (if any), roots, and pulp horns for each tooth, and record the dental notation using Palmer and FDI (both right and left). Use provided resources (website and book). Add pictures to document as needed.
Maxillary Central Primary Incisor
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: 3-4 months in utero
- Crown completion: 4 months
- Eruption: 7.5 months
- Root completion: 1.5 years
- Notation (Palmer/FDI): URA, ULA/ 51, 61
- Identifying features:
- Rounded disto-incisal angle, sharp mesio-incisal angle
- Similar crown shape to permanent incisor but plumper and more rounded
- Large palatal cingulum, pronounced bulge on labial surface
- Root distal tilt, labially on axis (allows for permanent tooth to develop)
- Mesial and distal cervico-incisal dimensions similar
- Number of cusps: 0
- Number of pulp horns: 2 (mesial and distal)
- Number of roots: 1
Maxillary Lateral Primary Incisor
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: 4.5 months in utero
- Crown completion: months
- Eruption: months
- Root completion: 7 months
- Notation (Palmer/FDI):
- Identifying features:
- Similar shape to first primary incisor, but smaller and narrower, especially the crown.
Maxillary Primary Canine
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: 5 months in utero
- Crown completion: 9 months
Maxillary First Primary Molar
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: 5 months in utero
- Crown completion: Months
- Eruption: 12-16 months
- Identifying features:
- Conical crown with pronounced cervical bulge and pointed cusp
Maxillary Second Primary Molar
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: months in utero
- Crown completion: 10-12 months
Mandibular Central Primary Incisor
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: 4.5 months in utero
- Crown completion: Months
- Eruption: months
- Root completion: 6.5 months
- Identifying features: Smallest tooth in the dentition
Mandibular Lateral Primary Incisor
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: months in utero
- Crown completion: 4.5 months
- Eruption: 7 months
- Identifying features: Smallest tooth in the dentition
Mandibular Primary Canine
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: 5 months in utero
- Crown completion: Months
- Eruption: Months
- Identifying features: Smaller and slimmer than maxillary primary canine
Mandibular First Primary Molar
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: months in utero
- Crown completion: Months
- Eruption: 6 months
- Identifying features: Tubercle of Zuckerkand present mesio-buccally on cervical area
Mandibular Second Primary Molar
- Chronology:
- Initial calcification: months in utero
- Crown completion : 10-12 months
- Eruption: 3 years
