RD 1 Lecture 1 Flashcards
dentition
all teeth in the mouth
homodont
animals with the same teeth throughout the entire dentition
heterodont
mammals that have teeth of different classes (humans)
how many classes of teeth in primary dentition, what are they
3 (incisors, canine, molar)
how many classes of permanent dentition and what are the names
4 (incisors, canines, premolars, molars)
monophyodont
have one set of teeth (beluga whale, dolphin, porpoise)
polyphyodont
have endless succession of teeth, when one is lost it is then replaced (shark, frog)
diphyodont
has two sets of teeth (humans)
how would you classify a human in terms of their dentition
a diphyodont heterodont
how many primary teeth and how many of each category
20 total = 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 molars
how many permanent teeth and how many of each category
32 permanent teeth= 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, 12 molars
two types of incisors and their location
central and lateral, central are two in the middle, lateral are the ones on opposite sides of the central incisors
anterior teeth
incisors and canines
posterior teeth
premolars and molars
which teeth are present in permanent but not in primary
all premolars and third molar
3 types of tooth identification systems
Universal (most common), FDI, Palmer Notation (ortho mostly)
Universal (Permanent)
1-16 maxillary teeth going left to right (while viewing patients mouth)
17-32 mandibular teeth going right to left (while viewing patients mouth)
Universal (primary)
A-J maxillary teeth going left to right (while viewing patients mouth)
K-T mandibular teeth going right to left (while viewing patients mouth)
FDI (permanent)
-2 digits for each tooth
1st digit follows these guidelines (1-4)
1 = max, right quad
2 = max, left quad
3 = mand, left quad
4 = mand, right quad
2nd digit is the distance from the midline (1-8)
FDI (primary)
-2 digits for each tooth
1st digit follows these guidelines (5-8)
5= max, right quad
6 = max, left quad
7 = mand, left quad
8 = mand, right quad
2nd digit is the distance from the midline (1-5)
Palmer Notation
the number used is the distance from the midline (1-8)
put it in a box based on the quad

4 tissues in the teeth
enamel, dentin, cementum, pulp
which tissues of the tooth are visible in an extracted tooth
enamel and cementum
enamel
-external layer of the anatomical crown
-hardest substance in the body
what is enamel derived from
ectoderm, specialized epithelial cells called ameloblasts
cementum
-dull yellow external layer of the root
-very thin
where is cementum derived from
mesoderm, cementoblasts
dentin
-hard yellow layer under enamel and cementum
-major inner bulk
-harder than cementum, softer than enamel
where is dentin derived from
mesoderm, odontoblasts
pulp
-Connective tissue containing blood vessels and nerves
-coronal portion = pulp chamber
- root portion =root canal
apical foramen
hole at the top of the root apex where nerves and blood vessels enter
what is the pulp derived from
mesoderm, dental papilla
rank the tooth tissues in terms of hardness
enamel>dentin>cementum>pulp
anatomic crown
part covered by enamel
anatomical root
part covered by cementum
CEJ (cementoenamel junction)
line where anatomical root and anatomical crown meet
how do the anatomical root and crown change over time
they never change over a person’s life
clinical crown
tooth visible in the oral cavity
clinical root
amount of tooth not visible, covered by gingiva
how can clinical crown and root change over time
over time, gingival recession can occur, making the clinical crown appear larger and the clinical root smaller
outer surfaces of teeth
facial: labial for anterior, buccal for posterior
inner surface of teeth
lingual (where tongue touches teeth)
chewing surface of posterior teeth
occlusal
biting surface on anterior teeth
incisal ridge / edge
sides of the teeth
proximal (general term) , mesial and distal sides
mesial surface
side closer to midline
