Q

Explain exfoliation, resorption and eruption

A

Exfoliation: shedding or eliminating
something from the surface of the body,
as in loss of teeth from jaw bone • Primary roots are resorbed • Permanent teeth move vertically as part of
active eruption, and the primary tooth
loosens • Sometimes, the primary teeth do not
loosen and extraction is required

Q

Maxillary Central Incisors

A
- Wider mesiodistally than
incisocervically
• Mesial and distal outlines
very rounded due to
cervical constriction
• Usually no developmental
depressions or imbrication
lines
• Large cingulum and well
developed marginal ridges
17
Q

Does the mandibular central incisor or maxillary central incisor have a centered cingulum and shallow fossa

A

mandibular central incisor

18
Q
-Wider than permanent 
• Very symmetrical 
• Prominent, centered
cingulum and shallow fossa
 • Single root with slight
concavity on mesial and
distal aspects 
• Mamelons may be present
A

Mandibular Central Incisors

19
Q
• Longer incisocervically
than mesiodistally
(opposite the central) 
• Incisal angles are very
bulbous 
• Root is longer in
comparison to crown
length and sharper
apex
A

Max Lateral Incisors

20
Q

how can you tell apart a primary central or lateral for maxillary

A

Incisal angles are very bulbous on the lateral incisors

21
Q
• Crown is very similar to
mandibular central, but
wider and longer 
• Cingulum is more
developed and offset to
distal 
• Incisal edge slopes distal • Distal Twist!!!!!
 • Distoincisal edge is more
rounded 
• Root may have a distal
curve at apical 1/3
 • Fossa is deeper
A

Mandibular lateral incisors

22
Q

How do you tell apart a mandibular vs maxillary lateral incisors primary

A

Mandibular lateral will have a cingulum more developed and offset to distal

  • incisal edge slopes distal
  • distal twist
23
Q

Maxillary Canines

A

• Mesial cusp slope is longer than distal-opposite #6 &
#11
• Cingulum, marginal ridges and lingual ridges are well
developed
• Lingual ridge runs from cusp tip to cingulum • Tubercle may be present (accessory cusp)
• Cusp tip is offset to the distal from incisal view
• Root is about twice as long as crown

24
Q

Mandibular Canines

A
• Labial surface is much flatter
than maxillary with very
shallow grooves 
• Distal cusp slope is much
longer 
• Less lingual anatomy with very
shallow fossa 
• Incisal view shows a tapering
to lingual 
• Root is long, narrow and
almost twice the length of
crown
25
How could you tell apart a mandibular canine from a maxillary canine primary
mandibular canine will have a distal cusp slope much longer
26
``` • Typically 4 cusps, but may be missing distolingual (3) • Same root configuration as permanent, but more flare and thinner • Prominent transverse ridge ```
Maxillary First Molars
27
``` ***• Closely resembles the permanent maxillary first molar ***• May have a tubercle of Carabelli located on the mesiolingual cusp • Crown and roots larger than primary first maxillary molar • Buccal cusps very similar in size ```
Maxillary Second Molars
28
• Prominent mesiobuccal cervical ridge Belt tumor hanging over belt - 4 cusps with mesial larger
Mandibular first molars
29
• Closely resembles the permanent mandibular first molar because it has 5 cusps
Mandibular Second Molars
