What are the numbers of the primary dentition
A-T
Which teeth are whiter….Baby teeth or Adult Teeth
Baby
Which dentition has more mineralization
Perm
How much thinner is dentin and enamel in primary teeth
1/2
Which dentition has a larger (relative) pulp chamber
Primary
Do primary incisors have mamelons
No
Which direction do the roots of anterior primary teeth bend?
Labially
Which dentition has fewer grooves and depressions in its anterior incisors
Primary
What is true about the roots of primary molars
They are thin, flared, and slender
How many roots do primary maxillary molars have
3: MB, DB, P
What is the physical description of the contacts between primary molars
Broad and flat
The molars of which dentition have a narrower (relative) occlusal table?
Primary
In which direction do the enamel rods slope in the cervical region of primary teeth? Permanent?
Primary = Occlusally
Perm = Cervically
Why is no bevel needed at the gingival area of primary molars
Because the enamel rods run parallel to the horizontal plane
Compared to permanent teeth, will you likely need to go lower or higher to break proximal contact when cutting a class II on a molar
lower
