Morphology Homodont dentition   All teeth have the same morphology  
🗑
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. 12 total (6 per arch).  
🗑
Posterior teeth:   Premolars and molars. 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 (enamel covered 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).  
🗑
Incisal edge   The chewing surface of anterior teeth  
🗑
Occlusal surface   The chewing surface of posterior teeth consisting of cusps, ridges, and grooves.  
🗑
Occlusal table   The occlusal surface within the cusp and marginal ridges.  
🗑
Lobe   The primary center of enamel formation in a tooth  
🗑
lobes are represented by   cusps, mamelons, and cingula  
🗑
Lobe are separated by   developmental depressions (anterior teeth) or developmental grooves (posterior teeth).  
🗑
Mamelon   A round extension of enamel  
🗑
Where is the Mamelon?   on the incisal edge of all incisors.  
🗑
How many Mamelon per incisor?   three mamelons per incisor (one for each facial lobe)  
🗑
What is the mamelon often?   They are often translucent because of a lack of underlying dentin  
🗑
Mamelon worn down by?   by attrition and mastication;  
🗑
Mamelon presence in adults is an indication of   malocclusion.  
🗑
Cingulum   A bulbous convexity of enamel  
🗑
Cingulum located   on the cervical third of the lingual surface of all anterior teeth.

🗑
who is the interior tooth that has Cusps?   and the incisal edge of canines.  
🗑
Tubercle   An extra formation of enamel on the crown of a tooth  
🗑
Tubercle Often manifests as a supernumerary cusp   such as the cusp of Carabelli.  
🗑
Ridge   A linear elevation on the enamel surface.  
🗑

🗑
Fossa   An irregularly shaped depression in the enamel surface.  
🗑
Developmental groove   A well-defined, shallow, linear depression in enamel that separates the cusps, lobes, and marginal ridges of a tooth.  
🗑
Fissure   A narrow crevice at the deepest portion of the developmental groove in enamel  
🗑
Pit   A small pinpoint concavity at the termination or junction of developmental grooves.  
🗑
Supplemental groove   short groove auxiliary to a developmental groove that does not separate major tooth parts.  
🗑
Caries are most likley to occur   in pits, fissure, groove.  
🗑
