Primary dentition 1: Maxillary teeth Flashcards
What are some facts about deciduous dentition?
1) whiter and more opaque than permanent dentition,
2) Thicker enamel at Cervical that abruptly ends at CEJ
3) Very obvious CEJ
4) Prominent buccal ridges (Cervical)
5) MB bulges are very pronounced on maxillary and mandibular first molars.
6) Relatively larger pulp cavities, pulp chambers and horns, and canals.
What are some more facts about deciduous dentition?
7) Short crown height relative to length of roots
8) relatively long thin roots that are very divergent
9) little or no root trunks on molars
10) narrow molar occlusal table and unlike permanent teeth; the first molar is smaller than the second molar.
How are the enamel rods directed in deciduous teeth? and are they the same or opposite to permanent teeth?
-Enamel rods at cervical area are directed occlusally and its the opposite of permanent teeth. But in the middle and incisal thirds, the rods direction is upwards towards the occlusal or incisal portion.
Do Deciduous incisors have mamelons when they first erupt?
NOPE.
For the deciduous maxillary central incisor; what is more rounded, DI or MI angle? does the facial surface have developmental depression?
- DI angle is more rounded than MI
- Facial surface is smooth and rarely have developmental depressions
(Lingual side) What are features more prominent in deciduous central incisors than permanent? Cingulum? Marginal ridges? Fossa?
- Cingulum is more prominent in D teeth
- Cingulum extends further incisally
- Marginal Ridges are more prominent and fossa is deeper
(Proximal side) what are some features of D. Central Incsiors? faciolingual width? CEJ curve? Cervical third? Apical third of root?
- Wide Faciolingially
- CEJ is less curved incisally
- Slight lingual bend of root at cervical third.
- Apical third of root is bent facially
What are the features of the roots of D. Central Incisors? Shape of root and length>
- The root is round
- relative to the crown length; D Central incisors have longer roots than permanent Central incisors.
Where can you find the mesial contact of D.Central Incisor? Distal contact?
- Mesial contact; junction of middle and incisal third
- Distal contact; Middle third
(Incisal view) how straight is the incisal edge? MD vs FL dimensions? Location of cingulum?
- Incisal edge is almost straight
- The MD dimension greater than FL dimension
- The cingulum is centered from incisal view.
How are D. lateral incisors and D.Central incisors similar? How are they different?
- Shape is similar to central incisors but everything is smaller and less prominent.
- Both angles more rounded but DI is still much more rounded than MI
- its Mesiodistally smaller than D Central incisor
- Roots are longer comparing to the crowns.
from the facial view; whats larger; IG or MD?
IG> MD
What is the mesial contact of the D lateral incisor? Distal contact?
Mesial contact: Junction of middle and incisal
Distal contact: junction of middle third and incisal as well
From the incisal view of deciduous lateral incisor is MD greater than FL?
yes MD> FL
(Facial view) Deciduous canines; What is more prominent Mesial or distal outlines? MCR larger or DCR?
- Mesial is more prominent
- MCR> DCR
