- second molars
primate space in the maxillary is between what?
canine and lateral incisor
primate space in the mandibular is between what?
canine and first molar (remember this is in the primary dentition)
the primary spaces for ANTERIOR teeth is most frequently caused by what?
growth of the dental arches
the direction of PRIMARY enamel rods in the cervical 1/3 of a tooth is in what direction?
an occlusal direction
how do primary molars differ from permanent molars?
their roots are more divergent
primary molars lack what?
an identifiable root trunk
what tooth has the smallest faciolingual crown dimension?
PRIMARY mandibular central incisor
what are the most bilaterally symmetric teeth in the mouth
primary AND permanent mandibular incisors
in delayed resorption of primary incisors, the permanent incisors erupt where?
lingually (looks like sharks teeth)
which tooth exhibits a prominent cervical ridge on both the facial and lingual surfaces?
PRIMARY mandibular central incisors
from the facial view, which slope of a PRIMARY canine is longer?
the mesio-incisal slope
the cusp of a PRIMARY canine is generally off set to the _____
distal (bc of the longer mesio-incisal slope)
the maxillary PRIMARY first molar resembles what permanent tooth?
permanent maxillary premolar
what do the roots of a PRIMARY max first molar resemble?
those of a typical permanent maxillary molar
where is the most prominent cervical ridge on MAXILLARY PRIMARY TEETH?
Mesio-facial surface of max first primary molar
*this is not the most prominent in the primary mouth (1rst mandibular molar)
what is the only PRIMARY tooth that has an oblique ridge?
max second molar (looks like a permanent max first molar)
what is the only PRIMARY posterior tooth to have an oblique ridge, transverse ridge, and distolingual groove?

what is the only PRIMARY tooth to have a cusp of carabelli?
PRIMARY max second molar
what are the last teeth to erupt in the PRIMARY dentition?
primary max second molars
which PRIMARY maxillary molar exhibits the most cusps?
primary second molar (makes sense bc it more closely resembles a permanent max first molar)
what tooth has the most prominent facial cervical ridge in the ENTIRE PRIMARY dentition?
mandibular first molar
in the facial view of a PRIMARY mandibular first molar, the CEJ is most apically positioned where?
mesial 1/3
which tooth in the mouth usually exhibits a distal triangular fossa?
PRIMARY mandibular first molar (cental fossa displaced to the distal)
what tooth in the PRIMARY dentition has the most prominent transverse ridge?
primary mandibular 1rst molar
what primary tooth does not look like any other permanent tooth
primary mandibular first molar
what is the primary tooth that differs the most from permanent teeth
primary mandibular first molars
which cusp on a PRIMARY mandibular first molar is the tallest and sharpest?
mesio-lingual
which teeth have the primary function of biting?
incisors
which tooth in the mouth has the greatest facial-lingual axial inclination?
max centrals
which tooth has the GREATEST cervical curvature (on mesial) of any other tooth?
maxillary central
