6: UR posterior, maxillary anterior, UL posterior,

LL posterior, mandibular anterior, LR posterior

Term
What are the surfaces
Definition

Facial

  • buccal ("cheek"-posterior teeth)
  • labial ("lips"-anterior teeth)

Lingual ("tongue"-mandibular or maxillary teeth)

Palatal or lingual (near palate-maxillary teeth)

Incisal edge; incisal ridge (anterior biting surface)

occlusal (posterior biting surface)

proximal (in between teeth)

mesial (toward the midline)

distal (away from the midline)

mesiodistal

inciso-cervical; inciso-gingival

occluso-cervical;occluso-gingival

Term

Definition

Line Angles

Point angles

Term
What are the teeth that make up the permanent dentition?
Definition

Anterior:

  • Incisors
  • Canines = cuspid

Posterior:

  • premolars
  • molars
Term
How many teeth are in each permanent dentition quadrant and what are they
Definition

2 incisors (1 central and 1 lateral)

1 canine = 1 cuspid

2 premolars

3 molars

Term
What is the dental formula for permanent dentition
Definition

I 2/2 + C 1/1 + P 2/2 + M 3/3

Top number = maxillary

Bottom number = mandibular

 

Term
How many teeth are in each deciduous dentition and what are they
Definition

2 incisors (1 central and 1 lateral)

1 canine = 1 cuspid

2 molars

Term
What is the dental formula for the deciduous dentition
Definition
I 2/2 + C 1/1 + M 2/2
Term
What are the 4 ways to name teeth
Definition
  1. "Word" name- quadrant, tooth type (ex: upper left first molar)
  2. Universal System
  3. Palmer Notation System; Palmer
  4. International; World Dental Federation; FDI
Term
How do you use the Universal System
Definition
1-32 and A-T
Term
How do you use the Palmer Notation System
Definition
  • 4 quadrants
  • Permanent 8 teeth per quadrant
  • deciduous 5 per quadrant
  • central incisor=1
  • 3rd molar=8

 1I = UR central incisor #8

I = UL central incisor #9

Term
How do you use the FDI=International Notation System
Definition

Each quadrant has a number 

Each tooth as a number

 

Quadrant number is first digital(1 or 5, 2 or 6, 3 or 7, 4 or 8) -- (permanent or deciduous)

Tooth number (1-8) is the 2nd digit

 

ex: 11= UR central #8

51= E

Definition
polyphyodont (ex: shark)

Definition
Edentulous

pulp

Term
What is the enamel
Definition

Term
What is the cementum
Definition
the layer of hard tissue covering the dentin of the anatomic root
Term
What is the dentin
Definition

Term
what is the anatomic root
Definition
the portion of the toth covered with cementum
Term
