Dental formulas

There is a sort of dental shorthand which makes it easy to designate any particular tooth. The mouth is divided by an imaginational line between the lower jaws and another vertically, in the median line. This divides the mouth into quadrants: upper left and right and lower left and right.

Permanent teeth. Permanent teeth are designated by Arabic
numerals, which represent their relation to the median line.

RIGHT LEFT

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 UPPER 12 3 4 5 6 7 8

LOWER

1.Central Incisor.

2. Lateral Incisor.

3. Cuspid or Canine.

4. First Premolar or Bicuspid.

5. Second Bicuspid or Premolar.

6. First Molar.

7. Second Molar.

8. Third Molar.

On designation temporary teeth we use either Roman numerals or substitution them letters of the alphabet. The letter "A" would represent the central incisor, "B" - the lateral one, " C" - the cuspid and "D" and "E" - the first and.the second temporary molars.

V IV III II I I II Ifl IV V

V IV III II I I II Ifl IV V

E D C B A A B C D E

E D C B A A B C D E

Notice particularly that the right side of the chart is on your left and vice versa. The reason for this is that it represents the mouth of a patient, as you look at it. If we wish to note any tooth, it is necessary to draw the whole design. Draw a right angle, in the proper direction and write in it the number of the tooth. For example, if you wanted to note the upper left first molar we would write 6; for the lower right cuspid we would write 3.

TOOTH ROOTS

Teeth may have one, two or even more roots.

Teeth having one root are: central incisors and lateral incisors.

Teeth having two roots are: upper second bicuspids and lower first and second molars. And the teeth having three roots are: upper first molars and lower first molars.

Such teeth as cuspids, first bicuspids and lower second bicuspids have one root. Third molars, both upper and lower are apt to have anywhere from one to eight roots.

Occlusion. The relationship of the upper teeth to the lower when brought together is called occlusion.

Because of the greater width of the upper centrals as compared to the lower centrals, the upper arch is normally larger than the lower one. For this reason, the buccal cuspids of all the upper teeth occlude just posterior to those of the corresponding lower ones; the upper incisors overlap the lowers and the buccal cuspids of the upper posterior teeth also overlap their antagonists in the low jaw.
