Dental Anatomy I Flashcards
Where does the lettering of Primary Dentition begin?
Right Maxillary 2nd Molar
How many primary teeth?
20
A through T
What are the 5 teeth in each quadrant in primary dentition?
Central incisor Lateral incisor Canine (cuspid) First molar Second molar
What 2 teeth have no proximal surface?
Central incisors
Distal surface 3rd Molar
What are the 4 axial surfaces of Posterior Teeth?
Mesial
Distal
Facial
Lingual
What 2 structures fuse to make up the Oblique Ridge?
Triangular ridge of distofacial cusp
Distal cusp ridge of the mesiolingual cusp
Why aren’t Oblique Ridges pure transverse ridges?
Both aren’t triangular
Where are Cervical Ridges found?
Greatest convexity
Facial and Lingual surfaces
Cervical
T/F
A sulcus and groove are the same
False
*sulcus is space above a groove
Where is a Sulcus found?
Between two ridges/cusps
T/F
The incisal ridge is not considered a surface
True
T/F
The mesioincisal line angle combines planes of two surfaces
False
Incisar ridge isn’t a surface, so 2 line angles come together
Name 3 line angles of the anterior teeth
Mesioincisal
Mesiofacial
Distofacial
T/F
Emergence and Eruption are the same
False
*emergence technically tooth 1st appearance through gingiva
When the apical foramen closes completely and calcification of a tooth is complete:
Root completion
What is the term for tooth loss?
Exfoliation
What is the 1st and last Primary Crown to be completed?
Months?
Maxillary Central Incisor
(1.5 months)
Maxillary 2nd Molar
(11 months)
T/F
All primary tooth crowns are completed by 1 year of age
True
What 2 teeth have completely formed crowns at birth?
Primary mandibular 1st molar
Primary mandibular Central Incisor
