TERMINOLOGIES
ELEVATIONS
DEPRESSIONS
CUSP - is an elevation or
mound on the crown portion
of a tooth making up a
divisional part of the occlusal
surface
TUBERCLE - smaller
elevation on some portion of
the crown produced by an
extra formation of enamel.
These are deviations from the
typical form
CINGULUM - is the lingual lobe of an
anterior tooth. It makes up the bulk of the
cervical third of the lingual surface.
LINGUAL FOSSA
CENTRAL FOSSA
TRIANGULAR FOSSA
SULCUS - 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.
DEVELOPMENTAL
GROOVE - shallow groove
or line between the primary
parts of the crown or root
SUPPLEMENTAL GROOVE
- less distinct, is also a shallow
linear depression on the
surface of a tooth, but it is
supplemental to a
developmental groove and
does not mark the junction of
primary parts.
PITS - are small
pinpoint depressions
located at the junction
of developmental
grooves or at terminals
of those grooves.
LOBE is one of the primary sections

DEVELOPMENT
OF THE
DENTITION
ERUPTION VS
EMERGENCE
After the crown and
part of the root are
formed, the tooth
penetrates the
alveolar gingiva
and makes its entry
(emergence) into
the mouth.
HUMAN DENTITION
Calcification:
•A D B C E
Eruption:
•A B D C E
HUMAN DENTITION
• TRANSITION/MIXED
DENTITION PERIOD
• 6 to 12 years
• Until all deciduous teeth
has been shed
• Resorption
• Exfoliation
HUMAN DENTITION
• SUCCEDANEOUS/
PERMANENT DENTITION
• 61245378
• 61234578
DECIDUOUS VS. PERMANENT DENTITION
Crowns of primary teeth:
•Shorter
•Wider mesiodistally
•Constricted in the cervical portion
DECIDUOUS VS. PERMANENT DENTITION
Crowns of primary teeth:
•Narrower occlusal table
•Thinner enamel and dentin layers
•Enamel rods in the cervical area directed occlusally
•Color is usually lighter
DECIDUOUS VS. PERMANENT DENTITION
Roots of primary teeth:
• Roots of anterior teeth are
longer, and narrower
mesiodistally
• They are cone-shaped, and
the sides are often tapered
• Posterior teeth have longer
and more slender roots in
relation to crown size
• Molar roots flare more as
they approach the apex

MESIAL AND DISTAL ASPECTS OF THE
ANTERIOR TEETH
1. A wide base to the crown for
strength
• All maxillary
posterior teeth-
mesial and distal
aspect
TRAPEZOID
Trapezoid with shortest
uneven side toward occlusal
surface
1. The tooth can be forced
into food material more
easily.
2. To lessen forces of
mastication
