final primary teeth Flashcards

1
Q

primary teeth have bulges in?

A

cervical third of labial and lingual surfaces; lingual bulge is seen as large cingulum that occupies 1/3 of cervicoincisal crown length AND labial bulge is seen as a prominent convex cervical ridge

Q

what is VERY SPECIAL about primary maxillary central incisors?

A

primary maxillary central incisors are the ONLY type of primary or permanent incisors where the crown is WIDER MD than incisocervically

Q

**primary max canines and permanent mandibular 1st premolars are UNIQUE how?

mesial proximal contacts more cervical than distal

*all other primary and permanent teeth have the distal contact more cervical

Q

buccal cervical ridges are prominent, especially mesial or distally?

A

mesially; so the cervical lines curve more apically in mesial half of buccal surface

16
Q

primary root furcations?

A

are nearer to the crown with little or no root trunk compared to permanent molars

17
Q

describe general primary roots characteristics?

A

thin, slender, widely spread

18
Q

***primary maxillary second molars RESEMBLE?

different how?

A

permanent maxillary first molars

  • occlusal veiw mesial outline tapers toward lingual
  • primary mesiobuccal and mesiolingual cusp are about equal in size BUT mesiolingual cusp is larger than mesiobuccal for pemanent teeth
19
Q

primary mandibular second molars RESEMBLE? different how?

A

permanent mandibular first molars

*the 3 buccal cusps are nearly equal in size (whereas for permanent teeth, the distal cusp is usually smaller)

20
Q

what are the 4 cusps to primary maxiallary first molars?

A

4 cusps

1) mesibuccal is widest and longest
2) mesiolingual cusp is smaller but sharper
3) distobuccal cusp is small
4) disolingual is inconspicuous and sometimes absent

21
Q

buccal groove on primary max 1st molar?

A

is located distal to center and divides the large mesiobuccal cusp fromthe indistinct distobuccal cusp

22
Q

both the max premolar and primary max 1st molar are wier?

A

FL than MD

23
Q

what are the 3 fossa on primary max 1st molars?

A

1) large mesial triangular fossa
2) medium central fossa
3) minute distal fossa

24
Q

the grooves on primary max 1st molar form?

A

an H pattern (somewhat similar to max premolar)

25
what tooth does the primary mandibular first molar resemble?
NONE!
26
the primary maxillary first molar somewhat resembles?
permanent maxillary premolar
27
the primary mandibular first molar mesial marginal ridge is??
overdeveloped; almost resembles a cusp
28
the primary mandibular first molar occlusal table is wider? similar to?
MD than BL (like 2nd mandibular molars)
29
what primary tooth has an acute and prominent mesiobuccal angle of the occlusal table?
primary mandibular first molar= the mesial surface outline converges to the lingual with an acute and prominent mesiobuccal angle of the occlusal table
30
what cusp is largest on primary mandibular first molar?
the mesiobuccal cusp is largest and longest; almost covers 2/3 of buccal surface but not as wide buccolingually
31
what runs between the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual cusp on primary mandibular first molar?
a pronounced transverse ridge
32
the occlusal table on primary mandibular first molar is larger?
distal to the transverse ridge with a larger distal fossa and a smaller mesial traiangular fossa *no central fossa
