Dental Anatomy final cram Flashcards
What do we need to know about the mesiodistal length of the PRIMARY maxillary central incisor?
its MD is greater than its Crowth length
What do we need to know about the root of the PRIMARY maxillary lateral incisor?
the root is much longer in proportion to its crown
On the primary maxillary canine, which slope is longer? Mesial slope or distal slope? Which tooth also has the same relationship between its mesial and distal cusp slopes?
mesial slope
the permanent maxillary 1st premolar is the same ways
On the primary mandibular canine, which slope is longer? The mesial or the distal?
the distal slope is longer, this is opposite of the PRIMARY maxillary canine
Which tooth is bigger, the PRIMARY maxillary 1st or second molar?
2nd
Which tooth does the PRIMARY Maxillary 1st Molar resemble?
the maxillary permanent 1st premolar
Which too does the PRIMARY maxillary 2nd molar resemble?
the permanent maxillary 1st Molar
What is weird about the PRIMARY mandibular 1st Molar?
it does not resemble any other tooth - deciduous or permanent
Which tooth has the greatest cervical curvature of the CEJ than any other tooth?
the Maxillary Central incisors
Which tooth has the most variation (including being missing) other than the 3rd molars? What is the weird form of the tooth called?
Maxillary lateral incsors
weird form of the tooth is called a peg-lateral
Which anterior tooth hast the most distinct and deepest lingual fossa? Which means it also has the most prominent marginal ridges of all anterior teeth
maxillary lateral incisors
Which tooth has a MD length nearly identical to its LL length
Maxillary lateral incisors
Which tooth is twisted distally slightly on the root base to try to accommodate the arch of the mouth?
the mandibular lateral incisors
Which anterior tooth has the greatest LL dimension of the anterior teeth?
Maxillary canine
Which slope is longest on the maxillary canine, distal or mesial?
distal - because it is like the bulk of the tooth has been pulled distally
Which tooth has the greatest overall tooth length?
Maxillary canine
Which tooth has the longest root of all teeth?
maxillary canine
Which tooth has a vertical and centrally placed Labial Ridge?
maxillary canines
Which tooth has the longest crown of any other tooth?
the mandibular canine
Which tooth has the longest root of any mandibular tooth?
the mandibular canine
Which anterior tooth most frequently exhibits a bifurcated root?
mandibular canine
What is the relationship between the cusps of the Maxillary 1st premolar?
the buccal cusp is offset to the distal and the lingual cusp is offset to the mesial. The buccal cusp is taller than the lingual
What is on the Maxillary 1st premolar that makes it difficult to clean and difficult to adapt a matrix band to?
Mesial Developmental Depression
