Anatomical Landmarks in Order to Study an Individual Tooth Intelligently, We Must Be Able to Recognize All Landmarks of Importance by Name DENTAL ANATOMY 1ST grade Lec.3 Anatomical Landmarks In order to study an individual tooth intelligently, we must be able to recognize all landmarks of importance by name. These include: 1. Cusp: It is an elevation on the crown portion of a tooth making up a divisional part of the occlusal surface. Cusps are present in the posterior teeth and the canines. •• Canine teeth have a single cusp; they are often called as the cuspids. •• Premolars generally have two cusps with an exception of the mandibular 2nd premolar which frequently has three cusps. Premolars are therefore also called as the bicuspids. 1 •• Maxillary and mandibular 1st molars have five cusps, while other molars generally have four cusps. Each cusp is a gothic pyramid with four sides formed by four ridges that run down from the cusp tip: •• Mesial and distal cusp ridges (cusp slopes) •• Buccal/lingual cusp ridge •• Triangular ridge of the cusp. There are two cusp slopes on either side of the triangular ridge. In case of canines, there is a labial ridge analogous to the buccal ridge posterior teeth; there is a lingual ridge analogous to triangular ridge of posterior teeth. In the Table below the Number of cusps in different types of teeth: Tooth type Maxillary arch Mandibular arch Incisors 0 0 Canines 1 1 Premolars 2 2 in 1st premolar 3 or 2 in 2nd premolar Molars 1st molar 4 +1 accessory cusp 5 (cusp of Carabelli) 2nd molar 4 4 3rd molar 4 or 3 4 or 5 A cusp is named according to its location on the tooth. For example, on a two- cusped premolar, the two cusps are named after the surface adjacent to each cusp: buccal or lingual. On a four-cusped molar, the four cusps are named after the adjacent line angles: mesiobuccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, and distolingual. 2 2. Tubercle: It is a smaller elevation on some portion of the crown produced by an extra formation of enamel. These are deviations from the typical form. 3. Cingulum: It is found on the lingual aspect of an anterior tooth. It is a convex mount of enamel localized to the cervical one-third of the crown. It is either a U- or W-shaped ridge at the base of the lingual surface of the crown of the upper incisors and cuspid teeth, the lateral limbs running for a short distance along the linguoproximal line angles, the central portion just above the gingiva. 3 4. Ridge: It is any linear elevation on the surface of a tooth and is named according to its location (e.g., buccal ridge, incisal ridge, marginal ridge). 4 (a) Marginal ridges: These are a linear, rounded borders of the enamel that form the mesial and distal margins of the anterior teeth (incisors and canines) as viewed from the lingual aspect, and the mesial and distal borders of occlusal surfaces on posterior teeth (premolars and molars). (b) Triangular ridges: The occlusal surface of a cusp is composed of a mesial and a distal incline. These two inclines meet to form a triangular ridge of enamel that descends from the tip of the cusp to the central portion of the occlusal surface. A triangular ridge is either a facial or a lingual cusp ridge, depending on where the cusp is located. They are named after the cusps to which they belong, e.g., the triangular ridge of the buccal cusp of the maxillary first premolar. 5 (c) Transverse ridge: It is the union of two triangular ridges (buccal and lingual) that crosses the surface of a posterior tooth transversely (roughly 90 degrees to both the buccal and lingual tooth surfaces). (d) Oblique ridge: An oblique ridge consists of a union between the triangular ridge of the distobuccal cusp and the distal cusp ridge of the mesiolingual cusp.The only tooth on which an oblique ridge is found is the maxillary molar. 6 5. Fossa: It is an irregular depression or concavity. (a) Lingual fossa: It is an irregular, rounded concavity bound by the mesial marginal ridge, distal marginal ridge, cingulum, and incisal edge of the lingual surface of an incisor tooth. Lingual fossae are also found on both sides of the lingual ridge of a cuspid tooth. It is located on the lingual surface of anterior teeth. (b) Central fossa: It is a centrally located depression or concavity found on the occlusal surface of molars and mandibular second premolars. The other bicuspids have mesial and distal triangular fossae, but do not have a central fossa. It is located on the occlusal surface of molars. (c) Triangular fossa: It is located adjacent to marginal ridges on the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth. There are two kinds of triangular fossae, a mesial and a distal, so It is located on the occlusal surfaces of molars and premolars, mesial or distal to marginal ridges. 7 6. Sulcus: It is a long depression or valley in the surface of a tooth between ridges and cusps, the inclines of which meet at an angle. A sulcus has a developmental groove at the junction of its inclines. As an example, a central sulcus is a major linear depression that traverses the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth from mesial triangular fossa to distal triangular fossa. Developmental grooves are found in the bottoms of sulci. 7. Developmental groove: It is a shallow groove or line between the primary parts of the crown or root. A developmental groove is the junction line between the inclined walls of a sulcus. These grooves appear on labial, occlusal, buccal, and lingual surfaces, and are least apparent on the labial aspect of anteriors. 8. Supplemental groove: A minor, auxiliary, less distinct, shallow linear depression on the surface of a tooth, but is supplemental to a developmental groove and does not mark the junction of primary parts. 8 9 9. Fissure: A linear fault that sometimes occurs in a developmental groove. A fissure represents a lack of union between the inclined walls of a sulcus. 10. Pit: It is a small pinpoint depression located at the junction of developmental grooves or at terminals of those grooves, e.g., central pit is a term used to describe a landmark in the central fossa of molars where developmental grooves join. 10 11. Mamelon: It is small, rounded projections of enamel from the incisal edges of newly erupted anterior teeth. The projections wear away soon after eruption. 12. Lobe: It is one of the primary anatomical sections or divisions of a crown of formation in the development of the crown. Cusps and mamelons are representative of lobes. All teeth develop from either four or five lobes (for example, a central incisor forms from four lobes while first molars develop from five lobes.) Lobes are usually separated by readily identifiable developmental grooves. 11 12 13. Embrasure area: V-shaped valleys or spaces between adjacent teeth and named according to its position, example: gingival embrasure, incisal embrasure, labial, lingual embrasure. Crown outline and occlusal table: When viewing posterior teeth from the occlusal view, it is important to distinguish the crown outline of an entire tooth from the occlusal table of that tooth. The crown outline is the outer outline of the entire tooth crown from the occlusal view, whereas the occlusal table is the outline of the smaller occlusal surface that is bounded by adjoining mesial and distal cusp ridges and marginal ridges that surround it. 13 .

  • Tooth Size Proportions Useful in Early Diagnosis
    #63 Ortho-Tain, Inc. 1-800-541-6612 Tooth Size Proportions Useful In Early Diagnosis As the permanent incisors begin to erupt starting with the lower central, it becomes helpful to predict the sizes of the other upper and lower adult incisors to determine the required space necessary for straightness. Although there are variations in the mesio-distal widths of the teeth in any individual when proportions are used, the sizes of the unerupted permanent teeth can at least be fairly accurately pre-determined from the mesio-distal measurements obtained from the measurements of already erupted permanent teeth. As the mandibular permanent central breaks tissue, a mesio-distal measurement of the tooth is taken. The size of the lower adult lateral is obtained by adding 0.5 mm.. to the lower central size (see a). (a) Width of lower lateral = m-d width of lower central + 0.5 mm. The sizes of the upper incisors then become important as well. The upper permanent central is 3.25 mm.. wider than the lower central (see b). (b) Size of upper central = m-d width of lower central + 3.25 mm. The size of the upper lateral is 2.0 mm. smaller mesio-distally than the maxillary central (see c), and 1.25 mm. larger than the lower central (see d). (c) Size of upper lateral = m-d width of upper central - 2.0 mm. (d) Size of upper lateral = m-d width of lower central + 1.25 mm. The combined mesio-distal widths of the lower four adult incisors are four times the width of the mandibular central plus 1.0 mm.

  • Dental Anatomy Lecture (8) د
    Dental Anatomy Lecture (8) د. حسين احمد Permanent Maxillary Premolars The maxillary premolars are four in number: two in the right and two in the left. They are posterior to the canines and anterior to the molars. The maxillary premolars have shorter crowns and shorter roots than those of the maxillary canines. The maxillary first premolar is larger than the maxillary second premolar. Premolars are named so because they are anterior to molars in permanent dentition. They succeed the deciduous molars (there are no premolars in deciduous dentition). They are also called “bicuspid -having two cusps-“, but this name is not widely used because the mandibular first premolar has one functional cusp. The premolars are intermediate between molars and canines in: Form: The labial aspect of the canine and the buccal aspect of premolar are similar. Function: The canine is used to tear food while the premolars and molars are used to grind it. Position: The premolars are in the center of the dental arch.

Movements of mandible Protrusion Retrusion Lateral excursion Opening-Closing Opening-Closing Translatory movement of the mandibular condyle along the posterior wall of the articular eminence. Protrusion A protrusive movement occurs when the mandible moves forward. Retrusion Retraction of the mandible from any position Lateral excurcion When the mandible moves into a left lateral excurcion the right condyle moves forward and inward (Bennett angle), while the left condyle will shift slightly in a lateroposterior direction(Bennett movement). In this example, the left side is working side and the right side is nonworking side. When the mandible moves into a right lateral excurcion the left condyle moves forward and inward (Bennett angle), while the right condyle will shift slightly in a lateroposterior direction(Bennett movement). In this example, the right side is working side and the left side is nonworking side. Border movements of the mandible The most extreme positions to which the jaw is able to move. Laterally: max 10 mm Opening: 50-60 mm Protrusion: 9mm Retrusion:1 mm Described from sagittal, frontal and horizontal planes. Usually not affected by head or body posture. Mandibular movements Most mandibular movements occur around three dimensions. They include, the transverse(horizontal), vertical(frontal) and sagittal axes. Mandibular movements can be classified as border and intraborder movements. Border movements occuring in all three planes and intraborder movements are all possible movements of the mandible occur within the border envelope. Extreme movements in the sagittal plane The patient is instructed to move the mandible from centric relation(CR) to centric occlusion(CO), then edge to edge relationship(ER), then the maximum protrusive (MP) and then arc downward to the maximum opening position.

  • Maxillary Premolars
    Maxillary Premolars Dr Preeti Sharma Reader Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology SDC Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Premolars are so named because they are anterior to molars in permanent dentition. They succeed the deciduous molars. Also called bicuspid teeth. They develop from the same number of lobes as anteriors i.e., four. The primary difference is the well-formed lingual cusp developed from the lingual lobe. The lingual lobe is represented by cingulum in anterior teeth. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU The buccal cusp of maxillary first premolar is long and sharp assisting the canine as a prehensile or tearing teeth. The second premolars have cusps less sharp and function as grinding teeth like molars. The crown and root of maxillary premolar are shorter than those of maxillary canines. The crowns are little longer and roots equal to those of molars. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU As the cusps develop buccally and lingually, the marginal ridges are a little part of the occlusal surface of the crown. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Maxillary second premolar Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Maxillary First Premolar Dr Preeti Sharma Reader Oral Pathology SDC Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU The maxillary first premolar has two cusps, buccal and lingual. The buccal cusp is about 1mm longer than the lingual cusp. The crown is angular and buccal line angles are more prominent. The crown is shorter than the canine by 1.5 to 2mm on an average. The premolar resembles a canine from buccal aspect.

  • Frequency of Cusp of Carabelli in Orthodontic Patients Reporting to Islamabad Dental Hospital
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE POJ 2016:8(2) 85-88 Frequency of cusp of carabelli in orthodontic patients reporting to Islamabad Dental Hospital Maham Niazia, Yasna Najmib, Muhammad Mansoor Qadric Abstract Introduction: Anatomic variation in the anatomy of maxillary molars can have clinical implications in dentistry ranging from predisposition to dental caries or loosely fitting orthodontic bands. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of cusp of carabelli in permanent first molars of patients reporting to the Orthodontic department. Material and Methods: A total of 698 patients reporting to the Orthodontic Department, Islamabad Dental Hospital, were evaluated from their orthodontic records. Upper occlusal photographs and dental casts of these patients comprised the data. Results: 245 (35.1%) patients showed the presence of the cusp while 453 (64.9%) had no accessory cusp present. Larger proportion of females had cusp of carabelli when compared with males. Bilateralism was found in 75.1% subjects while unilateralism existed in 24.9%, both being higher in females. Among the unilateral cases, higher trend was observed on the right side then the left. Conclusions: It was concluded that the frequency of cusp of carabelli was less in a population sample of Islamabad than other Asian samples, but an opposite trend was seen when compared to a population sample of Khyber Phukhtunkhwa showing different prevalence rates in different ethnicities.
