Tooth Morphology

Horizontales
A mandibular canine tooth usually ________ before the maxillary canine tooth. Maxillary canines have a larger and more developed cusp than the mandibular canines.
The maxillary molars have __________ well-developed roots.
The maxillary second premolar __________ from the maxillary first premolar in that the second premolar has only one root, and therefore only one root canal.
Patients commonly call the canines _____________, and an older term for canine is cuspid because it is the only tooth with a single cusp.
The root of the maxillary lateral incisor may __________slightly to the distal. This feature will be helpful when mounting dental radiographs.
There are two premolars in each quadrant of the permanent dentition, making a total of __________premolars in the permanent dentition.
The maxillary first molars have a fifth supplemental cusp that is known as the cusp of ____________.
Molars are ______________, meaning they do not replace primary teeth. Primary molars are replaced by adult premolars. Adult molars erupt posterior to the primary teeth and do not replace any of them.
The maxillary central incisors are __________ in all dimensions than the mandibular central incisors. The labial surfaces of the maxillary central incisors are more rounded from the incisal aspect than those of the mandibular central incisors.
_____________are the rounded enamel extensions on the incisal ridge of newly erupted central and lateral maxillary incisors.
There are ______ teeth in each quadrant of the primary dentition.
The canine _____________ is the bony ridge over the labial surface of the canines that helps in forming the facial contour.
The mandibular ____________ incisors are the smallest teeth in the permanent dentition.
The third molars are also referred to as __________ teeth.
The central ___________ on a posterior tooth is located where the cusp ridges converge at a central point, where the grooves meet.
Verticales
The central ___________ is the most prominent developmental groove on the posterior teeth and generally travels mesiodistally and divides the occlusal table in half.
The Universal/National System uses the capital letters A through T for the__________ dentition.
The maxillary and mandibular ____________ molars often appear as a developmental anomaly. They may vary in size, shape, contour, or relative position.
A ________ is a pinpoint depression in the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth where two or more fissures, or grooves, meet.
In the Universal Numbering _____________, the upper right first permanent molar is #3, the upper left first permanent molar is #14, the lower left first permanent molar is #19, and the lower right first permanent molar is #30.
The permanent premolars ____________ the primary first and second molars. The permanent premolars are succedaneous teeth.
An unusually large, open contact, or space, between adjacent teeth is known as a ____________.
The _________of the mandibular canine is as long, or longer, than that of a maxillary canine.
The maxillary first premolars are the only premolars in the dentition with two _____________ roots.
The _____________teeth play an important role in a person’s appearance. The size, shape, color, and position of the anterior teeth all directly relate to how a person looks.
The canines, or _________ are the longest teeth in the permanent dentition and are known as the cornerstone of the dental arches.
There are ______ premolars in the primary dentition. The permanent premolars replace the primary molars.
There are 3 molars in each quadrant of the permanent dentition; thus, there are a total of 12 _________ in the permanent dentition.
The primary dentition has 8 molars. There are _________premolars in the primary dentition.
The incisal surface is also known as the incisal ________ or the incisal plane. This edge does not form until occlusal wear has created a flattened surface on the incisal portion of the anterior teeth.
