    This document provides an introduction to dental anatomy, including the following key points: 1) Humans have two sets of teeth - a primary/deciduous set with 20 smaller teeth and a secondary/permanent set with 32 larger teeth. 2) The jaws need to accommodate the increased number and larger size of the permanent teeth. 3) Teeth are identified using dental formulas involving letters and numbers to denote type and location within the mouth.

    Introduction to Dental

    Anatomy

    Dental Anatomy
    2nd year dental students
    Summer semester 2006/2007
    Introduction
    • Human dentition is diphyodont
    – 2 sets of dentitions
    • Primary/deciduous
    – 20 teeth in total
    – Incisors/canines/molars
    – Smaller size
    • Secondary/permanent
    – 32 teeth in total
    – Incisors/canines/premolars/molars
    – Bigger size
    Deciduous & permanent
    dentitions

    • Why do
    we have
    to have
    2 sets of
    teeth?
    Why 2 sets of
    dentitions?
    •The jaws have to
    accommodate the
    increased number of
    permanent teeth and their
    bigger size
    Dental formula
    – I for incisors
    – C for Canines
    – PM for premolars
    – M for molars
    – Deciduous teeth are
    indicated by the letter D
    before the initial
    Human dental
    formula
    •Deciduous teeth
    – DI 2/2 DC 1/1 DM 2/2 = 10
    •Permanent teeth
    – I 2/2 C 1/1 PM 2/2 M 3/3 = 16

    The numbers following the letter refer to the


    number of teeth of each type in the upper then
    the lower dentition for one side only
    Quadrants
    • Tooth-bearing region of the jaw can
    be divided into 4 quadrants
    – Right maxillary (1 or 5)
    – Left maxillary (2 or 6)
    – Left mandibular (3 or 7)
    – Right mandibular (4 or 8)

    Quadrants in permanent dentition have the


    numbers 1 - 4 and in deciduous have the
    numbers 5 - 8
    Quadrants

    1 or 5 2 or 6

    4 or 8 3 or 7
    Teeth order

    • Each tooth in a quadrant takes a


    letter (A – E for deciduous) or a
    number (1 – 8 for permanent)
    indicating its order when counting
    from the midline
    EDCB ABCD 8765432 1234567
    A E 1 8
    EDCBA ABCD 8765432 1234567
    E 1 8
    Dental nomenclature
    • By words
    – Set
    • Deciduous or permanent
    – Jaw
    • Maxillary or mandibular
    – Class
    • Incisor/canine/premolar/molar
    – Order within a class
    • Central or lateral
    • First/second/third
    – Side
    • Right or left
    • By numbers, letters and/or symbols
    – Palmer notation system
    – Universal numbering system
    – FDI numbering system
    Palmer/Zsigmondy notation
    system
    • American Dental Association in 1947
    • Tooth is represented by a number 1 – 8
    (permanent) or a letter A – E (deciduous)
    • Two lines; indicates which quadrant the tooth
    belongs to
    – a horizontal representing the occlusal plane and
    – a vertical representing the midline
    • Examples: 1
    – Maxillary right central incisor
    E
    – Mandibular left second deciduous molar

    A E 1 8
    EDCB ABCD 8765432 1234567
    A E 1 8
    Universal numbering system
    • Palmer – difficulty in keyboard typing
    • ADA adopted the universal system in 1968
    • Uppercase letters for deciduous teeth
    – Consecutive from A to T
    – Following a clockwise order from maxillary right second
    molar to mandibular right second molar
    • Numbers for permanent teeth
    – Consecutive from 1 to 32
    – Following a clockwise order from maxillary right third
    molar to mandibular right third molar

    FDI numbering system
    • Proposed by FDI & adopted by WHO
    • Each tooth is allocated a two-digit number;
    the left designates the quadrant and the
    right designates the tooth order
    • Examples
    – Mandibular right permanent canine 43
    – Maxillary left deciduous lateral incisor 62
