Study Notes

Tooth Morphology - Permanent Dentition

  • General information: This handbook is a guide for understanding permanent teeth. Use it with classroom sessions on permanent dentition.

Tooth Morphology - Maxillary (Upper) Teeth

  • Maxillary Central Incisor:
    • Chronology: Initial calcification (3-4 months after birth), Crown completion (4-5 years), Eruption (7-8 years), Root completion (10 years). Palmer notation: UR1, FDI: 11,21.
    • Identifying Features: Rounded disto-incisal angle, sharp mesio-incisal angle. Large crown, wide anterior tooth, smooth convex surface labially, defined marginal ridges on palatal aspect with pronounced cingulum, crown inclined palatally. Tapered single root slightly inclined distally. 0 cusps, 2 pulp horns, 1 root. Variations include malformed macrodent; enlarged marginal ridges palatally; shovel-like appearance; potentially found more often in certain ethnicities with cingulum elongated toward incisive edge.

  • Maxillary First Molar:
    • Chronology: Initial calcification (11-12 years) and other missing data.
    • Identifying Features: Cusp of 2 present on mesio-palatal aspect. Very similar to primary molar morphology. 4 cusps. (Missing pulp horns and root data). Missing variation data.
  • Maxillary Second Molar:
    • Chronology: Initial calcification (14-16 years) and other missing data.
    • Identifying Features: (Missing number of cusps, pulp horns, and roots). Missing variation data.

Tooth Morphology - Mandibular (Lower) Teeth

  • Information for mandibular teeth follows a similar format as the maxillary teeth, listing chronology and identifying features for each tooth type. Data is missing for most teeth.
