4D 2.5 Development from Primary to Adult Flashcards
which system referes to the primary dentition as number/alpahbet
alphabet = sigmondy
numbers fdi

which tooth is being represented

upper right primary canine

which tooth is being represented

lower left primary canine

how are primary teeth different to the permanent teeth
roots are more divergent
smaller
bulbous crown
whiter
exfoliate
bigger pulp horns/chamber
how is the primary maxillary central incisor different to its permanent counterpart
Bulbous
Wide (width > height)
Incisal asymmetry
No mamelons
Clear cingulum
Bulbous cervical margin
Labial root curve

compare Primary maxillary lateral vs central incisor
Similar features, except
– Disto-incisal angle more rounded
– Crown narrower (width < height)

comapre primary mandibular incisors to permanent
similar re;ationship as in permanent incisors

describe the primary maxillary canines
Often symmetrical crown
If asymmetry: – The mesial > distal slope
Cervical bulge

primary mandibular canines compared to maxillary canine
Smaller and slimmer
Mesial < distal slope
D root curvature
Root curves slightly labially

maxillary 1st primary molar
3 divergent roots - mesio buccal, disto buccal and palatal
2 main cusps - mesio buccal and mesio palatal
key feature - mesio-buccal tubercle

Maxillary 2nd primary molar
– 3 roots
– 4 cusps
– Often cusp of carabelli on mesio-palatal cusp
Roots thin and divergent
Bulge on mesio-buccal aspect

Mandibular 1st primary molar
Crown longer mesio-distally
Narrow occlusal table
4 cusps: – 2 buccal (larger) – 2 lingual (small) – Mesio-buccal largest
Mesio-buccal molar tubercle (of zuckerkandl)
2 roots

Mandibular 2nd primary molar
Similar to lower 6 – 5 cusps – 2 roots
Buccal cusps more even sized
Mesial root flattened

gum pads over a-d’s
usually +ve overjet
unerupted teeth
rapid growth in 1st year
