Dental Anatomy

Arrangement of Teeth • Primary Dentition refers to the twenty deciduous teeth, also called “baby teeth”. • Secondary Dentition refers to the thirty-two permanent teeth. • The dentition is divided into two arches: upper and lower, also known as maxillary and mandibular arches. • Each arch is arranged into a right and a left half. Thus there are four quadrants. • The line that divides left and right quadrants is the median line or midline of the face.

Arrangement of Teeth

Arrangement of Teeth • The permanent teeth that replace the deciduous teeth are called succedaneous teeth. • Permanent molars are nonsuccedaneous teeth. • The permanent premolars replace the deciduous molars. • A mixed dentition is composed of some permanent and some deciduous teeth.

Naming and Coding Teeth • Dentition-arch-quadrant-tooth ex: permanent-max-left-central incisor • Universal System • 1 -32 permanent teeth • A-T deciduous teeth

Palmer Notation System • Each of the four quadrants is given his own prefix symbol. • The number or letter assigned to the tooth depends on its position relative to the midline. • The first number indicates the quadrant and whether the tooth is permanent or deciduous.

FDI System (Fédération Dentaire Internationale) • Each tooth – permanent or deciduous is given a two-digit number • The second digit indicates the position of the tooth relative to the midline • The first number indicates the quadrant and whether the tooth is permanent or deciduous

Development and Form • 6 th week of fetal life deciduous teeth begin to develop from tooth germs • 4 th month of fetal life permanent teeth begin to develop • 4 -5 th month of fetal life primary teeth begin to calcify. This process continues until ~3 -4 th year after birth, when the roots of deciduous teeth are fully formed • Birth permanent teeth begin to calcify and continue until ~25 th year (third molar roots)

Developmental Lobes • Each tooth begins to develop from 4 or more growth centers or developmental lobes • Anterior teeth and maxillary premolars develop from 4 lobes – 3 labials and lingual. As the lobes grow, they coalesce. The lines formed by the fusion are called developmental grooves • Mamelons are the incisal ridges of the three labial developmental lobes of anterior teeth • The lingual lobe makes up the cingulum of the tooth

Developmental Lobes

Lobes and Cusps • Maxillary premolars – 3 facial lobes/1 lingual lobe 3 facial 1 high buccal cusp 1 lingual large lingual cusp • Mandibular 1 st premolar same as above except smaller lingual cusp • Mandibular 2 nd premolar a) b) 2 cusp variety same as mand. 1 st premolar 3 cusp variety 3 buccal lobes-2 lingual lobes leading to two lingual cusps (ML and DL)

Four lobes of Maxillary Second Premolar

Lobes and Cusps • Max. 1 st molar: • • two major facial lobes (MB, DB) one major lingual lobe (ML) one minor lingual lobe (DL) one rudimentary lobe (Carabelli) • Max 2 nd molar: • 4 lobes; usually does not have cusp of carabelli • Max 3 rd molar: • 3 -4 lobes

Lobes and Cusps of Maxillary Molars

Lobes and Cusps • Mand. 1 st molar: 5 lobes • 4 major cusps (MB, DB, ML, DL) • 1 minor cusp (D) • Mand 2 ed molar: 4 lobes, cusps. • Mand. 3 rd molar: 4 lobes, cusps. • The most unpredictable teeth in size and shape. They are also the most likely to be missing.

Lobes and Cusps of Mandibular Molars

Eruption • General rules: • Mandibular teeth usually precede maxillary (about 1 month). • Teeth in both jaws erupt in pairs ( one on the right and one on the left). • Teeth usually erupt earlier in girls than in boys. • all deciduous teeth usually erupted by 2 3/4 years old.

Eruption of Deciduous Teeth • • • Central incisors Lateral incisors 1 st molars canines 2 nd molars 8 -12 months 9 -13 months 13 -19 months 16 -22 months 25 -33 months

Eruption of Permanent teeth • 1 st molar – 1 st permanent tooth to erupt. They emerge distal to the deciduous 2 nd molars (~6 years old). • Mesial drift occurs • Spaces between deciduous teeth are closed. • If deciduous tooth is lost prematurely, the permanent molar moves into the available space a may keep a premolar or canine from erupting.

Eruption of Permanent Teeth • Exfoliation: process by which the roots of a baby tooth are resorbed and dissolved until the tooth falls out. • As a permanent tooth erupts, the pressure activates osteoclasts which in turn destroy the roots of deciduous teeth. • Permanent teeth erupt lingually to the deciduous teeth.

Most Common Pattern of Eruption • Mand 1 st molars – Max 1 st molars • Mand central incisors – Max central incisors • Mand lateral – Max lateral • Mand canines – Mand 1 st PM- Max 1 st PM • Max 2 nd PM – Mand 2 nd PM - Max Canine • Mand 2 nd molars – Max 2 nd molars • Mand 3 rd molars – Max 3 rd molars

Pattern of Eruption • Note: 1. 2. 3. Max canines usually do not erupt until premolars have erupted. Mand canines and 1 st Premolars often erupt simultaneously. Max 2 nd premolars often erupt before the mandibular counterparts.

Pattern of Eruption 3 rd molars: • Do not appear until 17 years of age or later • Most likely to be impacted • (Mandibular > Maxillary) • Most common teeth to be congenitally missing

Pattern of Eruption • As teeth erupt and meet their antagonist on the opposing arch, they form the occlusal plane. • The line of the occlusal surfaces is known as occlusal plane. • The curved alignment of the occlusal plane is known as curve of Spee.
