Overview of the Dentitions Flashcards
heterodont
having teeth that are different classes/types
homodont
having teeth that are anatomically the same
monophyodont
one set of teeth in a lifetime
diphyodonts
two sets of teeth in a lifetime
polyphyodonts
endless succession of teeth
oral cavity
lined with mucous membrane tissue
two major areas: vestibule and oral cavity proper
vestibule
space between teeth and inner mucosal lining of the cheeks and lips, bounded by lips and cheeks and gums and teeth
oral cavity proper
space contained within the upper and lower dental arches, bounded by palate and floor of mouth
maxillary arch
fixed, immoveable, part of skull
mandibular arch
moveable via temporomandibular joint
quadrants
quadrant 1: right maxillary quadrant
quadrant 2: left maxillary quadrant
quadrant 3: left mandibular quadrant
quadrant 4: right mandibular quadrant
anterior vs posterior teeth
canines and incisors are anterior teeth
premolars and molars are posterior teeth
sextants
S1- maxillary right posterior
S2- maxillary anterior
S3- maxillary left posterior
S4- mandibular left posterior
S5- mandibular anterior
S6- mandibular right posterior
primary dentition
temporary, deciduous/baby, 20 teeth
secondary dentition
permanent, adult, 32 teeth
mixed dentition
mix of primary and secondary teeth
when does the primary dentition period start
eruption of primary mand central incisor
~6 months-6 years
when does the mixed dentition period start
eruption of perm mand first molar
~6 years-12 years
when does the permanent dentition period start
shedding of last primary tooth
after ~12 years
succedaneous teeth
permanent teeth that succeed or replace primary teeth (5 in each quadrant: central, lateral, canine, and 2 premolars)
nonsuccedaneous teeth
permanent teeth that do not replace any teeth in the primary dentition (the three permanent molars)
succedaneous teeth are replaced by
20 deciduous teeth replaced by 20 permanent teeth
2 deciduous incisors replaced by 2 permanent incisors
1 deciduous canine replaced by 1 permanent canine
2 deciduous molars replaced by 2 premolars
3 permanent molars are not succedaneous
dentition
natural teeth in the jawbones
