Dental Anatomy Final Cram - Bracken Flashcards
What is on the Maxillary 1st premolar that makes it difficult to clean and difficult to adapt a matrix band to?
Mesial Developmental Depression
which tooth has a root that approximates the mental foramen?
the mandibular 2nd premolar
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
Why can you see more of the occlusal table from the mesial side of the mandibular 1st premolar?
because the mesial marginal ridge is located more cervicaly than the distal marginal ridge
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
Which tooth has a vertical and centrally placed Labial Ridge?
maxillary canines
Which tooth has the most variation in crown morphology?
the mandibular 3rd molar
Which tooth is twisted distally slightly on the root base to try to accommodate the arch of the mouth?
the mandibular lateral incisors
Which non molar tooth most frequently exhibits 3 roots?
the maxillary 1st premolar
Which tooth has the longest root of all teeth?
maxillary canine
What is the shape of the crown of the Mandibular 2nd premolar?
pentagonal
What are the 2 teeth that can cause problems for cleaning and matrix placement due to concavities?
the maxillary 1st molar - distal concavitythe maxillary 1st premolar - mesial developmental groove and root concavity
Which premolar has multiple lingual cusps, a lingual groove and a central fossa?
the mandibular 2nd premolar
What is the shape of the occlusal outline of the mandibular 1st premolar?
diamond
which tooth has a cross or cruciform occlusal table?
the mandibular second molar
What is the identifying factor of the Maxillary 1st premolar? What does this identifying factor cause the root shape to look like?
it has a MesioMarginal Groove. This causes the root to indent on the mesial side and gives the root a kidney bean shape
Which too does the PRIMARY maxillary 2nd molar resemble?
the permanent maxillary 1st Molar
The mandibular 2nd premolar in the Y shape has the same number of occlusal pits as which tooth?
maxillary 1st molar
The mandibular 1st molar is wider _______ than ______
MD than BL which is opposite of the maxillary 1st molar
Which tooth has a cusp of carabellie and which cusp is it riding on?
it is the maxillary 1st molar - carabelli is riding on the mesiolingual cusp
Which tooth has the greatest overall tooth length?
Maxillary canine
The cusps of the maxillary second molar look very much like the cusps of the maxillary 1st molar except for which one?
The maxillary 2nd molar has a small DL cusp
Which anterior tooth most frequently exhibits a bifurcated root?
mandibular canine
