1
Q

What are the functions of primary (deciduous) teeth?

A
  • chewing (mastication)
  • support for lips and cheeks
  • formulation of speech
  • maintain arch space and room for secondary teeth
2
Q

What tooth type is present in secondary dentition, but not present in primary dentition?

A

premolars

3
Q

What range of adult teeth (in universal numbers) replace maxillary primary teeth A-J?

A

4-13

4
Q

What range of adult teeth (in universal numbers) replace mandibular primary teeth K-T?

A

20-29

5
Q

What is the definition of succedaneous teeth? Of non-succedaneous teeth? Give an example of a non-succedaneous tooth.

A

Succedaneous teeth replace primary teeth.
Non-succedaneous teeth do NOT replace primary teeth because they erupt distally to the primary teeth. All of the secondary molars are examples of non-succedaneous teeth.

only primary teeth present

12
Q

Explain the “Rule of Three” for permanent dentition.

A

Hard tissue formation begins. After 3 years, crown formation is complete. After 3 more years, the tooth erupts. After another 3 years, the root formation is complete.

13
Q

14
Q

For PRIMARY teeth, at what age are roots completely formed?

A

1.5 to 3 years after emergence of the tooth

15
Q

For PERMANENT teeth, between what ages are crowns forming/calcifying?

A

from birth to 16 years old

16
Q

How many years prior to eruption are permanent crowns completed?

A

3-4 years prior to eruption

17
Q

How many years after eruption are permanent roots completed?

A

3 years after eruption

18
Q

What is the order of emergence of the primary teeth?

A
  1. mandibular central incisors (6 months old)

A

7-9 years old

22

9-10 years old

23

12 years old

26
Q

When do the secondary third molars typically erupt?

A

late teens or early 20s

27
Q

In GENERAL, what arch tends to erupt first with secondary dentition?

A

usually mandibular arch erupts before maxillary

28
Q

Which teeth (primary or secondary) are generally whiter in color?

A

primary teeth

29
Q

True or false: Primary teeth have relatively long roots compared to crowns.

A

true

30
Q

Which teeth (primary or secondary) generally have thinner enamel and dentin layers (easier access to pulp)?

A

primary teeth

31
Q

In which direction do primary anterior teeth roots bend?

A

Primary anterior roots bend labially in the apical third to allow permanent teeth to have proper alignment.

32
Q

Is the primary maxillary central incisor wider incisocervically or mesiodistally?

A

The primary maxillary central incisor is wider mesiodistally.
*NOTE: this is different than permanent dentition

33
Q

On which primary incisors are marginal ridges most prominent?

A

maxillary central incisors; mandibular lingual anatomy is less distinct

34
Q

On which side (mesial or distal) is the curve of the CEJ greater for primary teeth?

A

mesial (like permanent dentition)

35
Q

Which proximal contact is more cervical in primary maxillary canines?

A

mesial contact is more cervical

*NOTE: this is only true for primary maxillary canines and permanent mandibular first premolar

36
Q

Which cusp ridge is longer in primary maxillary canines?

A

mesial cusp ridge is longer

*NOTE: this is only true for primary maxillary canines and permanent maxillary first premolar

37
Q

On which arch do the primary canines have marginal ridges and lingual ridges more prominent?

A

maxillary arch (like secondary dentition)

38
Q

True or false: The crown tapers toward the cervical in primary molars.

A

FALSE. The crowns taper narrower toward the occlusal with a narrow occlusal table.
*NOTE: this is different than permanent teeth

39
Q

For primary dentition, which are larger: first or second molars?

A

second molars are larger than first

*NOTE: this is different than permanent teeth

40
Q

What bulge is prominent on primary molars?

A

mesiobuccal bulge

41
Q

For a primary mandibular second molar, what buccal cusp is the widest?

A

distobuccal cusp is the widest; mesiobuccal and distal cusps are almost the same
*NOTE: this is different than the permanent mandibular first molar in which the mesiobuccal cusp is the largest and distal cusp is the smallest

42
Q

What permanent teeth do primary second molars resemble?

A

permanent first molars

43
Q

What permanent teeth do primary first molars resemble?

A

none (maxillary molars sometimes look similar to a premolar, but still not truly resembling)

44
Q

What two cusps are prominent in primary maxillary first molars?

A

mesiobuccal and mesiolingual cusps

45
Q

How many cusps are present in primary mandibular first molars? Which cusp is the largest and longest?

A

4; mesiobuccal cusp is the largest and longest

46

A

“H” pattern
