(121 cards)
what is a homodont? example?
one form and one function of teeth (Shark all pierce food)
what is a heterodont? example?
several forms in the same arch (humans)
what is the difference between polyphyodontism and diphyodontism?
poly-many sets of teeth with continuous replacement of teeth
diph-2 sets of teeth such as primary and permanent
function of primary dentition
alignment, formation, speech, mastication and helps form secondary teeth
function of secondary dentition
esthetics, speech, and mastication
enamel is composed of what and the color depends on what 3 things?
composted of 96% mineralized and color depends on
- thickness
- how mineralized
- color of dentin
define acrodont
teeth are fused to the height of the alveolar ridge (lizards)
define pleurodont
teeth fused to inner surface of alveolar bone (alligators)
define thecodont
teeth are held in the jaw by roots (humans)
Define Universal Notation for Primary teeth
A-T
Define Palmer notation for primary teeth
A-E with quadrant designation with A being the midline
Define FDI system for primary teeth
5-8 for quad and 1-5 for tooth
Quad 1=5 Quad 2=6 Quad 3=7 Quad4=8
Tooth A is 55
Define Universal Notation for permanent teeth
1-32
Define Palmer notation for permanent teeth
1-8 with quadrant designation with 1 being midline
define FDI system for permanent teeth
1-4 for quad and 1-8 for tooth
Tooth number 8 is 11
DAQT System described
Dentition (primary vs permanent)
Arch (maxillary vs mandibular)
Quadrants (left vs right)
Tooth (type and class such as central incisor)
