It's one of primary centers of calcification and Growth formed during crown development
----
Eash tooth has four or five lobes ... Pulp chamber has pulp horns corressponding to these lobes
NAMES Anterior-Posterior
teeth
Nota:
Just learn how to name the lobes of each tooth from hand out >>
Number of lobes in
each teeth
Nota:
Anterior teeth+(premolars)*=4 lobes EXCEPT SECOND PREMOLAR HAVE 5 LOBES
------------------------------------------
Molars*=4 lobes
EXCEPT FIRST MOLAR=5 LOBE
------------------------------------------- Note sometimes
--incisors may have 3 lobes ----maxillary Lateral incisor ,supernumery teeth may have less than 3 lobes
--------------------------------
Conclusion :
all teeth have 4 lobes Except LOWER SECOND PREMOLAR 5
LOWER FIRST MOLAR 5
-------------------------------
SOMETIMES maxillary lateral incisor (peg-shaped) may have 3 lobes
in addition to superNumerary teeth
Crown elevations
Mamelons
Nota:
Three small rounded projections found on incisal third of newly erupted teeth
--------------------------
3 PULP HORNS
---------------------
they wear down by age
Cingulum
Nota:
Smooth rounded prominence on cervical third of lingual surface of the crown of incisors and canines
*Cusps
Nota:
It's pyramidal projection found on posterior teeth and incisal portion of canine
Formed of enamel,dentin and pulp
*Tubercle
Nota:
It's a small elevation produced by excessive formation of enamel
Palatal surface of E&6 sometimes>>
Lingual surface of incisors
formed only of enamel while cusps are formed of enamel,dentin and pulp horn
Ridges
Nota:
It is "a linear elevation "
on different surfaces of the crown
Named by location and shape
**Labial
Nota:
Where is it ?
How is it formed ?
canines
RESULT OF highly developed labial middle lobe
**Buccal
Nota:
Where ??!(surface,tooth)
How is it formed !?
Buccal surface of premolars Result of highly developped middle buccal lobe
Cervical
Nota:
where?
where is it developed ?!
cervical third of all teeth
,but highly developed on
Dicidious first molar then second molar
Incisal
Nota:
WHERE?
THE "RIGDE" IS TRASFORMED INTO "EDGE "BY Attrition
lingual surface of newly erupted inscisors at its incisal margin
Cusp ridges
Nota:
THEY FORM An Angle at cusp tip when viewed from facial and lingual aspect
Cusp slopes-arms
which is longer mesial or distal ridge ?!
destal ridge is usually longer than mesial ridge
Except c&4
Where mesial is longer than distal ridge
Lingual
Nota:
where?!
Lingual surface of the canines extending from cingulum to cusp tip (maxillary)
----------------
extending from cingulum to incisal third (mandibular)
Marginal
Nota:
Linear elevation
where?
All teeth
mesial and distal margins of lingual surface of anterior teeth,
Occlusal surface of posterior teeth
Tringular
Nota:
It's tringular in shape
decend from cusp tip to center of occlusal surface of posterior teeth
Transverse
Nota:
How is it formed !?
found usually on lowerpremolars
Result of union of two tringular cusps facing each other crossing the occlusal surface transversly (Buccolingually direction)
Oblique
Nota:
How is it formed ?!
It is formed by the union of two
triangular ridges of two cusps not facing each other and crossing the occlusal surface of maxillary molars
mesiolingual and distobuccal destination
Crown depressions
Developmental
grooves
Nota:
DEFINATION ?
Location
It's sharply defined linear depression denoting union of two lobes
occlusal surface of posterior teeth
May extend to lingual and buccal surface
Defination
LOCATION
supplemental grooves
Nota:
small,irregular and auxilliary grooves
occlusal surface of posterior teeth Don't denote union of lobes
Third and second molars are most characterized by high number of supplemental grooves
Defination
location
Fissure
Nota:
Defination?
where??
Formation ?!
Dental caries
Linear depressions
On bottom of developmental grooves
results from incomplete union of primary lobes
Dental caries often begins in a deep fissure
Defination

Dental caries
Fossa
Nota:
what is it ?!
where?!
Types?
small depression
in both anterior and posterior teeth
Lingual
mesial and distal
central
Defination
Location

Pit
Nota:
what is it ?? /
where ?
faulty pit ?
small pinpoint depression at the ends of developmental grooves
Pit at end of buccal or lingual developmental groove
Defination
Location
Faulty pit
Sulcus
Nota:
Defination
it's a broad or valley depression on the occlusal surface of posterior teeth meet in developmental groove and extend to cusp tip
