interproximal spaces between the primary teeth, and is necessary for the proper alignment of the future permanent dentition

Grinding present on both the labial and lingual surfaces of anterior teeth and on buccal surfaces of the molars. narrower and longer than the crown length.
The process that occurs when the roots of deciduous teeth dissolve or give way for the forming, erupting permanent teeth. pulp chambers and pulp horns are relatively large in proportion to those of the permanent teeth, especially the mesial pulp horns. functions in aesthetics, mastication, and speech for a child for about 5 to 11 1/2 years. These teeth also serve to hold the eruption space for the succedaneous permanent teeth, which will replace the primary.

Considered in a child with extensive acute caries of the primary teeth, generally called "baby bottle mouth"

When two fissures cross they form a pit. a rounded or angular depression of varying size on the surface of a tooth. a broad, shallow depression on the lingual surface of an incisor or cuspid. a relatively broad, deep angular valley in the central portion of the occlusal surface of a mandibular molar.
a comparatively shallow pyramid-shaped depression on the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, located just within the confines of the mesial and/or distal marginal ridges.

a small linear depression on the surface of a tooth.


a fine depressed line in the enamel of a tooth that marks the union of the lobes of the crown in its development.

Incisal Edge Lobe Mamelon Ridge Cusp Ridge Incisal Ridge Marginal Ridges

an indistinct linear depression, irregular in extent and direction, which does not demarcate major divisional portions of a tooth. These often give the occlusal surface a wrinkled appearance. formed by the junction of the lingual surfuces of an anterior tooth. This edge does not exist until occlusal wear has created a surface linguoincisally. a developmental segment of the tooth. As lobes develop they coalesce to form a single unit. a rounded prominence on the incisal ridge of a newly erupted incisor. a linear elevation on the surface of a tooth. an elevation which extends in a mesial and distal direction from the cusp tip. Cusp ridges form the buccal and lingual margins of the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth. the incisal portion of a newly erupted anterior tooth elevated crests or rounded folds of enamel which form the mesial and distal margins of the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth and the lingual surfaces of the anterior teeth.

Named for the tooth for the cusp to which they belong. made up of the triangular ridges of a buccal and lingual cusp which join to form a more or less continuous Transverse Ridges elevation extending transversely across the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth. an elongated valley in the surface of a tooth formed by Sulcus the inclines of adjacent cusps or ridges which meet at an angle. -Mastication of food Functions of Primary -Reserve space for permanent dentition Dentition -Support for clear speech Tooth Emergence Birth up to 6 to 8 months no teeth visible in mouth (Birth) Tooth Emergence From 6 to 8 months through 2 to 2 1/2 (Begin to erupt) years all primary teeth should be visible in mouth.

They result from occlusal habits and neuroses. Parafunctional They are potentially injurious to the periodontal contacts supporting structures, but only in the presence of dental biofilm and inflammatory factors.They create are the normal contacts that are made between the maxillary teeth and the mandibular teeth during Functional contacts chewing and swallowing. Each contact is momentary, so the total contact time is only a few minutes each day.

Periodontal tissue injury caused by repeated occlusal Trauma from forces that exceed the physiologic limits of tissue Occlusion tolerance Excessive occlusal force is exerted on a tooth with Primary trauma normal bone support. Excessive occlusal force is exerted on a tooth with bone loss and inadequate alveolar bone support. Secondary trauma The ability of the tooth to withstand occlusal forces is impaired.
