Chapter 11 & 12 Flashcards
Morphology
study of the form of an organ or body part
Tooth morphology
study of the size shape form and structure of teeth
Primary dentition
baby teeth
permanent dentition
adult teeth
how many primary teeth are there?
20 teeth (10 per arch)
Mixed
when primary teeth are exfoliating and permanent teeth are erupting
Succedaneous teeth
permanent teeth that replace deciduous (primary) teeth
Non-succedaneous
Last teeth to erupt don’t follow a primary tooth
How many permanent teeth are there?
32 teeth (16 per arch)
What teeth are replaced from primary to permanent teeth
first molar replaced by 1st pre molar,
second molar replaced by 2nd pre molar
Another word for canines
cuspids
permanent quadrant contains what
centeral incisor, lateral incisor, canine, 1st , 2nd premolar and 1st 2nd 3rd molars
primary (deciduous) quadrant contains what
2 incisors( 1 central and 1 lateral), 1 canine, 1st and 2nd molar
mesial
toward the midline
distal
away from the midline
lingual
inside, toward the tongue
labial
outside, towards lips
incisal
bitting or cutting edge (eg incisors)
buccal
outside, towards the cheek
occlusal
grinding or chewing surface. Flatter/bigger surface. eg) molars
Cusp
major elevation on surfaces of the canines and posterior teeth
fossa
wide shallow depression on the LINGUAL surfaces
cingulum
raised rounded area on the cervical third of the lingual surface
ridge
a thin elongated surface.
mamelon
rounded enamel on the incisal edge on newly erupted incisors
cusps of carabelli
5th cusp found on lingual to the mesiolingual cusp. only ever on permanent 1st maxillary molar and primary 2nd molars.
Referred to as the cornerstones
canines
Which tooth on permanent maxillary has 2 roots
1st maxillary premolar
Another word for premolars
bicuspids
how many roots do permanent maxillary molars have
3
how many roots do permanent mandibular molars have
2
height of contour
the bulge or widest point on a surface of the crown
exact spot at which the teeth actually meet
contact point
triangular space between two teeth, when two teeth in the SAME ARCH contact.
embrasure
where is the extra 5th cusp found on
permanent maxillary 1st molar and primary 2nd molars
contours
helps tooth stay healthy. crown of the tooth narrows towards the cervical line
what do curvatures do
provide natural passageways for food and protect the gingiva during chewing (mastication)
apical third
nearest the tip of the root
