NOMENCLATURE
The first step in understanding dental anatomy is to learn the nomenclature ,or the system of names use to describe or classify the material included in the subject. The term mandibular refers to the lower jaw or mandible. And the term maxillary is for upper jaw ,maxilla Acc. to dictionary definition the term decidous means not permanent ,transitory but unabridged dictionary means milk tooth, which is define as one of the temporary teeth of a mammal that are replaced by permanent teeth. Also called baby tooth. The term primary indicate first dentition i.e. decidous dentition where as term permanent suggest permanent dentition.

FORMULAE FOR MAMMALIAN TEETH of all mammalian teeth are expressed by fomulae that The number
is used to differentiate the human dentition from others species. The denomination of each tooth is represented by the initial letter in its name i.e I for incisor,C for canine,P for premolar,M for molar. Each letter is followed by a horizontal line and the number of each type of tooth is placed above the line for maxilla and below the line for the mandible. The dental formula for the PRIMARY DENTITION is I2/2 C1/1 M2/2=10

MORPHOLOGIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY AND PERMANENT TEETH

The crowns of primary teeth are wider mesiodistally in comparison to permanent. The roots of primary anterior teeth are narrow and long compared with crown width and length. The cervical ridge of enamel at cervical third of anterior crowns is much more prominent labially in the primary. The crown and roots of primary molars are more slender mesiodistally at the cervical third. The buccal and lingual surfaces of primary molars are flatter above the cervical curvature.
11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

The primary teeth are usually lighter in color than the permanent. The enamel is relatively thin and has a constant depth. The pulp horns are high and pulp chambers are large. Dentine thickness between pulp chambers and the enamel is limited. Primary roots are narrow when compared to crown width.

THE PRIMARY TEETH

MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR  Labial Aspect In the crown of the primary central incisor, the mesiodistal diameter is greater than the cervicoincisal length. The labial surface is very smooth, and the incisal edge is nearly straight. Developmental lines are usually not seen. The root is cone-shaped with even tapered sides.  Lingual Aspect The lingual aspect of the crown shows well-developed and highly-developed cingulum. The root narrows lingually and presents a ridge for its full length in comparison with a flatter surface labially.  Mesial and Distal Aspects The mesial and distal aspects of the primary maxillary central incisors are similar. The measurement of the crown at the cervical third shows the crown from this aspect to be wide in relation to its total length. The curvature of cervical line, which represents the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), is distinct, curving toward the incisal edge. The root from this aspect appears more blunt.

Maxillary Lateral Incisor Facial: The maxillary lateral incisor

resembles the centralincisor, but is narrower mesio-distally. The mesial outline resembles the adjacent central incisor; the distal outline--and particularly the distal incisal angle is more rounded than the mesial incisal angle (which resembles that of the adjacent central incisor. The distal incisal angle resembling the mesial of the adjacent canine. Lingual: On the lingual surface, the marginal ridges are usually prominent and terminate into a prominent cingulum. There is often a deep pit where the marginal ridges converge gingivally.

Proximal: In proximal view, the maxillary lateral incisor resembles the central except that the root appears longer-about 1 1/2 times longer than the crown. A line through the long axis of the tooth bisects the crown. Incisal: In incisal view, this tooth can resemble either the central or the canine to varying degrees. The tooth is narrower mesiodistally than the upper central incisor; however, it is nearly as thick Department of pedodontics and labiolingually.
11/08/06 preventive dentistry

Mandibular Central Incisor Facial: The mandibular central incisor is the smallest tooth in the dental arch. It is a long, narrow, symmetrical tooth. The incisal edge is straight. Mesial and distal outlines descend apically from the sharp mesial and distal incisal angles. Lingual: The lingual surface has no definite marginal ridges. The surface is concave and the cingulum is Department of pedodontics and minimal in size preventive dentistry 11/08/06

Proximal: Both mesial and distal surfaces present a triangular outline. Incisal: The incisal edge is at right angles to a line passing labiolingually through the tooth reflecting its bilateral symmetry.

11/08/06

Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

Mandibular Lateral Incisor

Facial: This tooth resembles the central incisor, but is somewhat larger in most proportions. It is a more rounded tooth; this is especially evident in the distal incisal angle in unworn specimens. There is a lack of the bilateral symmetry seen in the central. Lingual: Except for the lack of symmetry, this tooth resemble the central.
11/08/06

Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

Proximal: Like the central, the crown presents a triangular outline. When viewed critically, the rotation of the incisal edge can be seen. Incisal: The incisal edge 'twisted' from the 90 degree angle with a line passing labiolingually through the tooth.

11/08/06

Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

Maxillary Permanent Canine

Facial: The canine is approximately 1 mm narrower than the central incisor. Its mesial aspect resembles the adjacent lateral incisor; the distal aspect anticipates the first premolar proximal to it. The canine is slightly darker and more yellow in the color than the incisor teeth. The labial surface is smooth, with a well developed middle lobe extending the full length of the crown cervically from the cusp tip. The distal cusp ridge is longer than the mesial cusp Distinct ridge. Lingual : mesial and distal marginal ridges, a welldevloped cingulum, and the cusp ridges form the boundries of the lingual surface. The prominent lingual ridge extends from the cusp tip to the cingulum, dividing the lingual surface into mesial and distal Department of pedodontics and fossae.
11/08/06 preventive dentistry

Proximal: The mesial and distal aspects present a triangular outline. They resemble the incisors, but are more robust-especially in the cingulum region. Incisal: The asymmetry of this tooth is readily apparent from this aspect. It usually thicker labiolingually than it is mesiodistally. The tip of the cusp is displaced labially and mesial to the central long axis of this Department of pedodontics and tooth. 11/08/06 preventive dentistry

Mandibular Permanent Canine

Facial: The mandibular canine is noticeably narrower mesidistally than the upper, but the root may be as long as that of the upper canine. In an individual person,the lower canine is often shorter than that of the upper canine. The mandibular canine is wider mesiodistally than either lower incisor. A distinctive feature is the nearly straight outline of the mesial aspect of the crown and root. When the tooth is unworn, the mesial cusp ridge appears as a sort of 'shoulder' on the tooth. The mesial cusp ridge is much shorter than the distal cusp ridge. Lingual: The marginal ridges and cingulum are less prominent than those of the maxillary canine. The lingual surface is smooth and regular. The Department of pedodontics and lingual ridge, if present, is usually 11/08/06 preventive dentistry rather subtle in its expression.

Proximal: The mesial and distal aspects present a triangular outline. The cingulum as noted is less well developed. When the crown and root are viewed from the proximal, this tooth uniquely presents a crescent-like profile similar to a cashew nut. Incisal: The mesiodistal dimension is clearly less than the labiolingual dimension. The mesial and distal 'halves' of the tooth are more identical than the upper canine from this perspective. You will recall that the cusp tip of the maxillary canine is facial to a line through the long axis. In the mandibular canine, the unworn incisal edge is on the line through Department of pedodontics and the 11/08/06 long axis of this tooth. preventive dentistry

Maxillary First Premolar

Facial: The buccal surface is
quite rounded and this tooth resembles the maxillary canine. The buccal cusp is long; from that cusp tip, the prominent buccal ridge descends to the cervical line of the tooth. Lingual: The lingual cusp is smaller and the tip of that cusp is shifted toward the mesial. The lingual surface is rounded in all aspects
11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

Proximal: The mesial aspect of this tooth has a distinctive concavity in the cervical third that extends onto the root. It is called variously the mesial developmental depression, mesial concavity, or the 'canine fossa'--a misleading description since it is on the premolar. The distal aspect of the maxillary first permanent molar also has a developmental depression. The mesial marginal developmental groove is a distinctive feature of this tooth. Occlusal: There are two well-defined cusps buccal and lingual. The larger cusp is the buccal; its cusp tip is located midway mesiodistally. The lingual cusp tip is shifted mesially. The occlusal outline presents a hexagonal appearance. On the mesial marginal ridge is a distinctive feature, the mesial Department of pedodontics and marginal developmentalpreventive dentistry groove. 11/08/06

Maxillary Second Premolar

Facial: This tooth closely resembles the maxillary first premolar but is a less defined copy of its companion to the mesial. The buccal cusp is shorter, less pointed, and more rounded than the first. Lingual: Again, this tooth resembles the first. The lingual cusp, however, is more nearly as large as the buccal cusp. Proximal: Mesial and distal surfaces are rounded. The mesial developmental depression and mesial marginal ridge are not present on the second premolar. Occlusal: The crown outline is rounded, ovoid, and is less clearly defined than is the first.

Maxillary First Permanent Molar

Facial: The mesiobuccal and
distobuccal cusps dominate the facial outline. They are separated by the buccal developmental groove. All three roots are visible. The buccal roots present a 'plier handle' appearance with the large lingual root centered between them. Lingual: Two cusps of unequal size dominate the occlusal profile. The cusps are separated by the lingual developmental groove which is continuous with the distolingual (or distal oblique) groove. The larger mesiolingual cusp often displays the Carabelli trait. It is a variable feature. It appears most often as a cusp of variable size, but is occasionally expressed merely as a 11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry pit.

In mesial perspective the mesiolingual cusp, mesial marginal ridge, and mesiobuccal cusp comprise the occlusal outline. When present, the Carabelli trait is seen in this view. In its distal aspect, the two distal cusps are clearly seen; however, the distal marginal ridge is somewhat shorter than the mesial one. A small concavity on the distal surface that continues onto the distobuccal root is occasionally described. Occlusal: The tooth outline is somewhat rhomboidal with four distinct cusps. The cusp order according to size is: mesiolingual, mesiobuccal, distobuccal, and distolingual. The tips of the mesiolingual, mesiobuccal, and distobuccal cusps form the trigon, reflecting the evolutionary origins of the maxillary molar. The distolingual cusp is called the talon (heel) and is a more recent acquisition in evolutionary history. A frequent feature of maxillary molars is the 11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and preventive Carabelli trait located on the mesiolingual dentistry cusp.

Proximal:

Maxillary Second Permanent Molar Facial: The crown is shorter occluso-cervically

and narrower mesiodistally whe compared to the first molar. The distobuccal cusp is visibly smaller than the mesiobuccal cusp. The two buccal roots are more nearly parallel. The roots are more parallel; the apex of the mesial root is on line with the with the buccal developmental groove. Mesial and distal roots tend to be about the same length. Lingual: The distolingual cusp is smaller than the mesiolingual cusp. The Carabelli trait is absent. Proximal: The crown is shorter than the first molar and the palatal root has less diverence. The roots tend to remain within the crown profile. Occlusal: The distolingual cusp is smaller on the second than on the first molar. When it is much reduced in size, the crown outline is described as 'heart-shaped.' The Carabelli trait is usually absent. The order of cusp size, largest to smallest, is the same as the first but is more 11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and exaggerated: mesiolingual, mesiobuccal, preventive dentistry distobuccal, and distolingual.

Mandibular First Permanent Molar

Facial: The lower first permanent molar has the
widest mesiodistal diameter of all of the molar teeth. Three cusps cusps separated by developmental grooves make on the occlusal outline seen in this view. Moving from mesial to distal, these features form the occlusal outline as follows: mesiobuccal cusp, mesiobuccal developmental groove, distobuccal cusp, distobuccal developmental groove, and the distal cusp. The mesiobuccal cusp is usually the widest of the cusps. The mesiobuccal cusp is generally considered the largest of the five cusps. The distal cusp is smaller than any of the buccal cusps and it contributes little to the buccal surface. The two roots of this tooth are clearly seen. The distal root is usually less curved than the mesial root. Lingual: Three cusps make up the occlusal profile in this view: the mesiolingual, the distolingual, and the distal cusp which is somewhat lower in profile. The mesiobuccal cusp is usually the widest and highest of the three. A short lingual developmental 11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry groove separates the two lingual cusps

Proximal: The distinctive height of curvature seen in the cervical third of the buccal surface is called the cervical ridge. The mesial surface may be flat or concave in its cervical third . It is highly convex in its middle and occlusal thirds. The occlusal profile is marked by the mesiobuccal cusp, mesiolingual cusp, and the mesial marginal ridge that connects them. The mesial root is the broadest buccolingually of any of the lower molar roots. The distal surface of the crown is narrower buccolingually than the mesial surface. Three cusps are seen from the distal aspect: the distobuccal cusp, the distal cusp, and the distolingual cusp. Occlusal: This tooth presents a pentagonal 'home plate' occlusal outline that is distinctive for this tooth. There are five cusps. Of them, the mesiobuccal cusp is the largest, the distal cusp is the smallest. The two buccal grooves and the single lingual groove form the "Y5" patern distinctive for this tooth. Department of pedodontics and preventive"Y5" The five cusp and 11/08/06 dentistry pattern is important in dental anthropology.

Mandibular Second Molar

Facial: When compared to the first molar,
the second molar crown is shorter both mesiodistally and from the cervix to the occlusal surface. The two well-developed buccal cusps form the occlusal outline. There is no distal cusp as on the first molar. A buccal developmental groove appears between the buccal cusps and passes midway down the buccal surface toward the cervix. Lingual: The crown is shorter than that of the first molar. The occlusal outline is formed by the mesiolingual and distolingal cusps. Proximal: The mesial profile resembles that of the first molar. The distal profile is formed by the distobuccal cusp, distal marginal ridge, and the distolingual cusp. Unlike the first molar, there is no distal fifth cusp.

The word eruption properly refers to the cutting of the tooth through the gum,it is generally understood to mean the axial or occlusal movement of the tooth from its developmental position within in the jaw to its functional position in the occlusal plane.

However eruption is only part of the total pattern of physiologic tooth movement. Physiologic tooth movement is descried as consisting of the following. 1.PREERUPTIVE TOOTH MOVEMENT When deciduous tooth germs first differentiate ,they are very small and good deal of space is between them.This space is soon used because of the rapid growth of the tooth germs and crowding result,especially in the incisor and canine region. Permanent teeth with deciduous also move before they reach the position from which they will erupt.

The permanent molars,which have no deciduous predecessors also exhibit movement. For eg.The upper permanent molars,which develop in the tuberosity of the maxilla /,at first have their occlusal surfaces distally and swing around only when the maxilla has grown sufficiently to provide the necessary SPACE.

2.ERUPTIVE TOOTH MOVEMENT- During

this phase ,the tooth moves from its position within the bone of the jaw to its functional position in occlusion ,and the principal direction of movement is OCCLUSAL OR AXIAL.

3.POST ERUPTIVE TOOTH MOVEMENTmovement that maintains 1)The position of the erupted tooth while the jaw continues to grow . 2)Compensate for occlusal and proximal wear. It involves both the tooth &its socket & ceases when jaw growth is completed .

HISTOLOGY OF TOOTH MOVEMENT

1.Preruptive Phase- Whether it involves drifting or growth of the tooth germ,demands remodeling of the bony wall of the crypt.This is achieved by the selective deposition and rfmoval of bone by osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity.

Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

2. Eruptive phase- In this significant developmental

events occur that are associated with eruptive tooth movement.They include the formation of roots,the periodontal ligament,and the dentogingival junction. Bone removal is necessary for permanent teeth to erupt.In the case of those teeth with deciduous predecessors there is an additional anatomic feature,the Gubernacular canal and its content,the Gubernacular cord,which may have an influence on tooth movement. After removal of any overlying bone there is loss of the intervening soft connective tissue between the reduced enamel epithelium covering the crown of the tooth and the overlying oral epithelium. 11/08/06 Department of pedodontics

3.Post eruptive phase- The principal movement is in an axial direction. Movements are also made to compensate for occlusal and proximal wear of the tooth.It is generally assumed that the continous deposition of cement around the apices of the roots of the teeth is sufficient to compensate the occlusal wear. Wear also takes place at the contact points between teeth and to maintain tooth contact mesial or proximal drift takes place. Histologically,this drift is seen as a selective deposition and resorption of bone on the socket walls by osteoblast and osteoclasts 11/08/06 Department of pedodontics and respectively. preventive dentistry

MECHANISM OF TOOTH MOVEMENT

Bone Remodelling It is important to permit tooth movement. Whether the bony remodeling that occurs around teeth causes or is the effect of tooth movement is not known, others studies on bone remodeling have indicated that control may reside with the bone living cell, the osteoblast Root Formation It is the obvious cause of euptive tooth movement. Root formation follows crown formation and involves cellular proliferation. It is the former that actually that occurs, but if occlusal movements is prevented, resorption of bone occurs at the base of socket. The bone at that base of the socket cannel act as a fixed base because pressure on bone results in its Department of pedodontics and resorption. 11/08/06 preventive dentistry

Vascular Pressure It is known that teeth move in synchrony with the arterial pulse, so local volume changes can procedure limited both movement. Periodontal Ligament Traction There is a good deal of evidence that the eruptive force resides in the dental follicle periodontal ligament complex. Tissue culture experiment have shown that ligament fibroblast are able to contract a collagen gel, which in turn brings about movement of a disk of root tissue attached to that gel.

SHEDDING OF DECIDUOUS TEETH

The human dentition,like those of most mammals consists of two generations.The first generation is k/a deciduous & the other is Permanent(secondary)dentition. The physiologic process resulting in the elimination of the deciduous dentition is called shedding or exfoliation.

11/08/06

Department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry

Pattern of Shedding It is the progressive reserption of the roots of the teeth & their supporting tissue,the periodontal ligament. In general, the pressure generated by the growing & erupting permanent tooth dictates the pattern of deciduous tooth resorption because of the developmental position of the permanent incisor and canine tooth germs and their subsequent physiologic movement in an occlusal and resorption of the roots of the deciduous incisors and canines begins on their lingual surfaces. Later these tooth germs occupy a position directly apical to the deciduous teeth, which permits them to erupt in the position formly occupied by deciduous molars after first begins on their inner surface because the early developing bicuspids are found between them. The areas of early resorption are repaired by the deposition of a cementum like tissue. 11/08/06

Histology of Shedding The cell responsible for the removal of dental hard tissues are identical to osteoclasts are highly specialised cells responsible for the removal of bone, and are called odontoclast their cytoplasm is vacuolated and the surface of the cell adjacent to the resorbing hard tissue forms a ruffled border. Peripheral to the ruffled border is a clear zone. The clear zone represent the attachment apparatus of the odontoclast. Odontoclast are able to resorb all the dental hard tissues including enamels. When dentine is being resorbed , the presence of the tubules provides a pathway for the easy extension of odontoclast process.

Odontoclast are most commanly found on surfaces of the roots in relation to the advancing permanent tooth they have also been described root canals and pulp chambers of resorbing teeth lying against the predentin surface. Single rooted teeth are usually shed before root resorption is complete, therefore odontoclast are not found within the pulp chambers of these teeth. In molars the roots are usually completely resorbed and the crown is also partially resorbed, before exfoliation when this happens the odontoclasts layer is replaced by odontoblasts which resorb both primary & secondary dentin. The process of tooth resorption is not continuous since there are periods of rest & repairs.

The forces of mastication applied to the deciduous tooth are also capable of initiating the resorption. As an individual grows, the muscles of mastication increase in size and exert forces on the deciduous tooth greater than its periodontal ligament can withstand. This leads to the trauma to the ligament and the initiation of resorption.

As resorption of the roots initiated by pressure of the underlying tooth occurs, there is progressive loss of surface area for attachment of PDL fibres bundles. This weakening of tooth support occurs because it has to withstand increasingly greater occlusal forces generated by the growing muscles of mastication.

Histology of root resorption. Tooth resorption is occurring at the apex of the root, and as a consequence changes are seen in the periodontal ligament (PDL) as this structure becomes less able to cope with the forces applied to it. The downward and oblique orientation of the ligament fibers is progressively lost (below arrowhead), and local pockets of cementum resorption occur (arrows).
