Tooth identity
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| #1 Maxillary Right Third Molar | Roots: Usually 3 roots; commonly fused or irregular Cusps: Variable (3–5 cusps) Function: Grinding ID Tip: Most variable tooth anatomy |
| #2 Maxillary Right Second Molar | Roots: 3 roots, less spread than #3 Cusps: Usually 4 cusps Function: Grinding ID Tip: Distolingual cusp often reduced |
| #3 Maxillary Right First Molar | • Roots: 3 widely spread roots • Cusps: 4 major cusps • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Cusp of Carabelli commonly present |
| #4 Maxillary Right Second Premolar | • Roots: Usually 1 root, 1 canal • Cusps: Similar-sized cusps • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Rounded occlusal anatomy |
| #5 Maxillary Right First Premolar | • Roots: Usually 2 roots (buccal/lingual) • Cusps: Buccal cusp larger • Function: Tearing + grinding • ID Tip: Most commonly bifurcated premolar |
| #6 Maxillary Right Canine | • Roots: Longest single root in dentition • Cusps: One prominent cusp • Function: Tearing • ID Tip: Strong labial ridge |
| #7 Maxillary Right Lateral Incisor | • Roots: Single slender root • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Rounded distal angle; peg lateral anomaly common |
| #8 Maxillary Right Central Incisor | • Roots: Single conical root • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Largest anterior tooth crown |
| #9 Maxillary Left Central Incisor | • Roots: Single root; mirrors #8 • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Mesioincisal angle sharper than distal |
| #10 Maxillary Left Lateral Incisor | • Roots: Single root, often curves distally • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Smaller crown than central incisor |
| #11 Maxillary Left Canine | • Roots: Long, thick single root • Function: Tearing • ID Tip: Strong canine eminence |
| #12 Maxillary Left First Premolar | • Roots: Frequently 2 roots • Function: Grinding/tearing • ID Tip: Mesial developmental depression |
| #13 Maxillary Left Second Premolar | • Roots: Usually 1 root • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Shorter central groove than first premolar |
| #14 Maxillary Left First Molar | • Roots: 3 separated roots • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Large lingual cusp with Carabelli trait possible |
| #15 Maxillary Left Second Molar | • Roots: 3 roots closer together • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Smaller than #14 |
| #16 Maxillary Left Third Molar | • Roots: Often fused or curved roots • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Most posterior maxillary tooth |
| #17 Mandibular Left Third Molar | • Roots: Usually 2 roots; often fused • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Variable anatomy |
| #18 Mandibular Left Second Molar | • Roots: 2 roots (mesial/distal) close together • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: 4 cusps, symmetric pattern |
| #19 Mandibular Left First Molar | • Roots: 2 broad roots • Cusps: Usually 5 cusps • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Largest mandibular tooth |
| #20 Mandibular Left Second Premolar | • Roots: Single root • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: May have 3 cusps (Y pattern) |
| #21 Mandibular Left First Premolar | • Roots: Single root; longer than second premolar root • Function: Tearing/grinding • ID Tip: Tiny lingual cusp |
| #22 Mandibular Left Canine | • Roots: Single root, shorter than maxillary canine • Function: Tearing • ID Tip: Narrow mesiodistally |
| #23 Mandibular Left Lateral Incisor | • Roots: Single root with distal curve common • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Distal twist of incisal edge |
| #24 Mandibular Left Central Incisor | • Roots: Single narrow root • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Smallest permanent tooth |
| #25 Mandibular Right Central Incisor | • Roots: Single root; mirror of #24 • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Very symmetrical crown |
| #26 Mandibular Right Lateral Incisor | • Roots: Single root with distal inclination • Function: Cutting • ID Tip: Slightly larger than central incisor |
| #27 Mandibular Right Canine | • Roots: Single long root • Function: Tearing • ID Tip: Less prominent cusp than maxillary canine |
| #28 Mandibular Right First Premolar | • Roots: Single root; pronounced root depression • Function: Grinding/tearing • ID Tip: Diamond-shaped occlusal view |
| #29 Mandibular Right Second Premolar | • Roots: Single root, shorter than first premolar root • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Wider occlusal table |
| #30 Mandibular Right First Molar | • Roots: 2 roots, broad separation • Function: Grinding • ID Tip: Five-cusp pattern |
