    The deciduous teeth

    • Primary teeth have been called(temporary, milk,


    or baby teeth, or deciduous teeth) are teeth that
    appear in the mouth of a child and stay there for
    some years before falling and leaving their
    place to permanent teeth
    Primary teeth
    • Primary teeth start to calcify (Calcification is
    the accumulation of calcium salts in a body
    tissue) in the fourth month of fetal life
    • Emerge in children at ages of 6months to 2-2
    ½ years
    Mixed dentition
    • At the age of 6 years,
    gradually replaced by
    permanent teeth
    • Permanent teeth
    begin their
    calcification at birth
    Importance of primary teeth
    It is important to keep
    sound primary teeth:
     Efficient mastication of
    food
     Maintenance of a
    proper diet
     Formulation of clear
    speech
     avoidance of infection
    and concomitant pain
    Importance of primary teeth
     Maintenance of a normal face appearance
    Importance of primary teeth
    Maintenance of space and arch continuity
    for the permanent teeth
    • The development of
    adequate space is a
    significant factor in the
    development of normal
    occlusal relation in
    permanent teeth
    • A lack of space
    associated with
    premature loss of
    deciduous teeth is a
    significant factor in
    development of
    malocclusion
    Differences between deciduous
    and permanent teeth
     General
    1. Deciduous teeth smaller in size
    2. Whiter than permanent
    3. Enamel and dentin layers are thinner than permanent
    3. Pulp cavities are larger
    4. Primary teeth have fewer anomalies
    on crown
    Primary permanent
    In anterior teeth crown Larger in cervicoincisal than
    wider in mesiodistal MD
    dimesion than
    cervicoincisal
     on crown
    Primary permanent

    Cervical constriction is Less constriction


    marked
    Primary permanent

    Cervical ridge more Cervical ridge are less


    prominent prominent
    Differences on crown
    Primary permanent

    Occlusal surface of molar Less convergence of buccal


    is narrow buccolingualy and lingual surface toward
    occlusal
    Differences on crown
    Primary teeth Permanent teeth

    Molar occlusal anatomy Molar occlusal anatomy


    is shallow (short cusps, is shallow pronounced
    ridges are not
    pronounced and fossae
    are not deep)
    Second molars larger First molars larger than
    than first molars second molars
     on root
    • Roots longer and narrower in proportion to crown length and
    width
    • Roots of deciduous molars are thin and slender
    • Root furcations are near the crown with little or no root trunk
    On the root
    • Roots of molar widely
    flared/diverge beyond
    outline of the crown
    to allow room for
    development of
    permanent teeth
    • 2nd molar roots
    spreader more than
    1st deciduous molar
    Description of each primary
    tooth
    Maxillary deciduous teeth
     Central and lateral
    teeth:
    • Mesiodistal width is more
    than labiolingual dimension
    • Root: crown ratio, the root
    length is greater in
    comparison with crown
    length than permanent
    • From mesial aspect the
    crown appear thicker
    because of short crown
    Maxillary canine
    • Crown is more constricted at
    cervix
    • Long well developed sharp
    cusp
    • Mesial slop is longer than distal
    slope (opposite for permanent
    max canine)
    • Mesial and distal contact area
    at the same level 2x
    • Root is long more than twice
    crown length
    • From mesial aspect: crown
    appear thicker labiolingualy
    Maxillary first molar
    • There are 4 cusps, mesiolingual
    cusp is the largest, then
    mesiobuccal, distobuccal and
    distolingual is the smallest
    • Has three roots mesiobuccal,
    distobuccal and lingual
    Maxillary 2nd molar
     Has 5 cusps, 4 is well developed
    and one supplemental
    • Mesiolingual is the largest
    • Mesiobuccal
    • Distobuccal
    • Fifth cusp (distolingual)
     Has 3 roots:
    • Mesiobuccal
    • Distobuccal
    • lingual
    Maxillary 1st and 2nd molars
    Mandibular deciduous
    teeth
    Central and lateral 2x
    incisors:
     labiolingual width
    appears more due to
    short crown (Crown is
    wide in proportion to its
    length)

     Root: crown ratio is


    increased (root is twice
    the length of crown)
    Mandibular canine
    Labiolingual
    dimension is less than
    maxillary canine
    Cervical ridge is less
    pronounced than
    maxillary canine
    Distal slope of cusp is
    longer than mesial
    slope
    Mandibular deciduous 1 st molar
    • Has 4 cusps: mesiolingual is largest,
    mesiobuccal, distobuccal and distolingual
    • Has 2 roots (mesial and distal)
    Mandibular deciduous 2nd molar
    Has 5 cusps
    • Mesiobuccal,
    mesiolingual
    distolingual,
    distobuccal and distal
    Has 2 roots:
    • mesial
    • distal
