    Study Notes

    Tooth Morphology - Primary Dentition (Part 2)

    • Students should revise the terminology used to name tooth landmarks.
    • They should record the notation and chronology of primary dentition
    • Students must identify the locations/anatomy of various tooth surfaces.
    • Discuss and reflect on how this knowledge can be applied in a clinical setting.
    • Primary and permanent teeth variations need explaining.
    • GDC learning outcomes for 2013 and 2023 include describing appropriate dental, oral, craniofacial and general anatomy and its use in patient management. Identifying relevant anatomy, recognizing diversity in patient populations and explaining its relevance to patient management are skills needed.
