Chapter 1 J: Dental Anatomy Flashcards
How many teeth are present in primary dentition?
20
How many teeth are present in permanent dentition?
32
Mixed dentition is between the ages of ?
6-12
Palatal refers to ?
Maxillary teeth
Lingual refers to?
Mandibular teeth
Proximal surfaces are?
Mesial and distal
A cusp is defined as?
An elevation on the crown portion
A tubercle is defined as?
A smaller elevation on the crown portion caused by extra formation of enamel
A cingulum is defined as?
The lingual lobe of an anterior tooth
What teeth are located on either side of the median line
Upper and lower central incisors
The most common agenesia is?
Upper lateral Incisors
The most common supernumerary?
Mesiodens
General shape of incisors (vestibular surface)?
Convex
General shape of incisors (lingual surface)?
Convex at the cingulum then turns to concave on the way to the incisal edge
Function of incisors?
- aesthetics (lip support)
- masticatory (incisal edge is used to cut food)
- phonetics (sound)
MAP
The tooth is divided into:
Crown, cervix, root, and apex of the root
Contacts of the incisors?
Lower incisors make contact to the lingual surfaces of the UCI and the mesial portion of the ULI
Which tooth is the dominant tooth of the upper arch and condiitons the whole facial aesthetics?
And the widest mesiodistally of any anterior tooth?
Upper central incisors
Shape and size of upper central incisors:
- widest mesiodistally of any anterior teeth
- trapezoid or rectangular shape
- Uniradicular
The only situation where the mesial surface of the same tooth contact? And where does this contact happen?
Central incisors
On incisal and middle third
8mm is the ?
Mesiodistal distance of UCI
10mm is the?
Cervico incisal distance of UCI
In regards to the UCI, which incisal angle is 90 degrees and which one is rounded?
Mesial and distal respectively
The vestibular aspect of the UCI is ?
Convex and the maximum convexity occurs at the cervical third.
Perikymata are
Horizontal lines on the vestibular surface of UCI
Why does the lingual surface of the UCI have less surface ?
MD convergence
Is the cingulum symmetrical in UCI?
No, it’s slightly distalized
Which marginal ridge is thicker and shorter in UCI?
Distal marginal ridge
Is the lingual fossa in the UCI convex or concave?
Concave
Which aspect is more convex in UCI (mesial or distal)?
Distal
The length of the root is ___ times the crown in the UCI?
1.25-1.5
Transversal cuts to the root in UCI results in?
A square near the cervix and a triangle near the apex
Roots are usually curved to ?
Distal
How many pulp chambers do the UCIs have and is there a delimitation between the chamber and the canal?
1, and no
ULI compared to CI:
Smaller, more symmetric, rounded incisal edge, smaller and deeper fossa, centred cingulum, thinner root.
Bigger: LCI or ULI?
ULI
