Homodont dentition:
All teeth have the same morphology
Heterodont dentition:
Teeth have different morphology (eg, humans).
Monophyodont dentition:
■
One set of teeth.
Diphyodont dentition:
Two sets of teeth (eg, humans).
Polyphyodont dentition:
Multiple sets of teeth.
Anterior teeth: Incisors and canines.
■ Posterior teeth: Premolars and molars.
12 total (6 per arch).
20 total (10 per arch).
Anatomic crown:
The portion of the tooth that extends from the cementoenamel
junction (CEJ) to the incisal edge or occlusal surface (enamelcovered
portion of the tooth).
Clinical crown:
The portion of the tooth that extends incisally or occlusally
from the gingival margin (clinically visible portion of the tooth).
Occlusal table:
The occlusal surface within the cusp and marginal ridges
The primary center of enamel formation in a tooth.
Lobe:
In fully formedteeth, lobes are represented by
cusps, mamelons, and cingula, and are separated
by developmental depressions (anterior teeth) or developmental
grooves (posterior teeth).
Mamelon:
A round extension of enamel on the incisal edge of all incisors.
(See Figure 24–1.) There are usually three mamelons per .
incisor (one for
each facial lobe). They are often translucent because of a lack of underlying
dentin.
Mamelons are typically worn down by
attrition and mastication;
thus, their presence in adults is an indication of malocclusion
Cingulum:
A bulbous convexity of enamel located on the cervical third of
the lingual surface of all anterior teeth.
Cusp:
A large elevation of enamel located on the occlusal surface of all
posterior teeth and the incisal edge of canines.
Tubercle:
An extra formation of enamel on the crown of a tooth. Often
manifests as a supernumerary cusp, such as the cusp of Carabelli.

Ridge: ■
A linear elevation on the enamel surface.
Marginal ridge:
A ridge on all teeth that forms the mesial and distal margins
of posterior occlusal surfaces and anterior lingual surfaces

a ridge only on canines that runs incisocervically in the center
of the facial crown surface. More prominent in maxillary canines.
labial ridge
A ridge only on premolars that runs occlusocervically
in the center of the buccal crown surface. More prominent in first
premolars.
Buccal (cusp) ridge:
A ridge on all primary teeth and permanent molars that
runs mesiodistally in the cervical third of the buccal surface of the crown.
Cervical ridge:
