Anatomy of the tooth
c. Root (Roots):
Part of the tooth that is
embedded in the alveolar
process and is covered by
cementum.

Tissues of the tooth
1. Dentin:
2. Enamel.
3. Cementum:
(1) Cementum covers the root of the tooth.
(2) It overlies radicular dentin and joins the enamel
at the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ).
(3) Its primary function is to anchor the tooth to its
bony socket with attachment fibers (PDL).

Human Dentition:
Human has , two sets of dentitions (diphyodont).
Primary dentition is the first set of 20 primary teeth. Also
referred to as “baby teeth” or “deciduous teeth”.
Permanent dentition refers to the 32 secondary or “adult”
teeth.
Mixed dentition occurs when both primary and permanent
teeth are present, usually between the ages of 6 to 12.

TYPES OF TEETH (Dentition)
Chronologically:
• There are two types of teeth:
• Permanent teeth (32 teeth).
• Deciduous (primary) teeth (20 teeth).
TYPES OF TEETH
According to Position:
• Anterior & Posterior teeth.
• Upper (maxillary) & Lower (mandibular) teeth.
TYPES OF TEETH
According to Morphology:
Incisors (I).
Canine (C).
Premolars (P).
Molars (M).
Types of Teeth
• Incisors:
Single-rooted teeth with a relatively sharp thin
edge referred to as the incisal edge.
Located in the front of the mouth, they are designed
to cut food without the application of heavy forces.
In human there are four incisors in each jaw. Central
(front teeth) and lateral (distal to the centrals).
Mesial = near to the midline.
Distal = away from the midline.
• Canines (cuspids):
located at the corner of the arch. They are designed for
cutting and tearing foods, which require the application of
force.
• Premolars (bicuspids? ):
between canines and molars. The pointed cusps hold and
grind the food. They have a broader surface for chewing
food.
There are two sets of premolars in the permanent
dentition and NO premolars in the primary dentition.
• Molars:
Molars have more cusps than other teeth that are
used to chew or grind up food.
• Dental arches.
• Jaw quadrants.
2- posterior teeth:-

support and sustain the vertical dimension of the
