  2. Dentition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentition

    Dentition pertains to the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth. In particular, it is the characteristic arrangement, kind, and number of teeth in a given species at a given age. [1] That is, the number, type, and morpho-physiology (that is, the relationship between the shape and form of the tooth in question and its inferred ...

  3. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.) Tooth formation begins before birth, and the teeth's eventual morphology is dictated ...

  4. Anterior teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_teeth

    Anterior teeth. In dentistry, the term anterior teeth usually refers as a group to the incisors and canine teeth as distinguished from the posterior teeth, which are the premolars and molars. The distinction is one of anterior (front of the body) versus posterior (rear of the body). The distinction holds in both the upper jaw (maxilla) and ...

  5. Dental arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_arch

    The dental arches are the two arches (crescent arrangements) of teeth, one on each jaw, that together constitute the dentition.In humans and many other species, the superior (maxillary or upper) dental arch is a little larger than the inferior (mandibular or lower) arch, so that in the normal condition the teeth in the maxilla (upper jaw) slightly overlap those of the mandible (lower jaw) both ...

  6. Maxillary central incisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_central_incisor

    In instances when the maxillary anterior teeth are lingual to the mandibular teeth, the condition is referred to as an anterior crossbite. In some cases, this arrangement of teeth may indicate a displacement of the mandible relative to the maxilla and is called Class III or Pseudo-Class III malocclusion. Normal occlusion is Class I occlusion.

  7. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    Human tooth development. Tooth development or odontogenesis is the complex process by which teeth form from embryonic cells, grow, and erupt into the mouth. For human teeth to have a healthy oral environment, all parts of the tooth must develop during appropriate stages of fetal development.

  8. Occlusion (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_(dentistry)

    Occlusion (dentistry) Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest. Static occlusion refers to contact between teeth when the jaw is closed and ...

  9. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

    Ankylosis usually occurs in primary molars; however, it can also take place in other primary teeth, as well as secondary dentition. Ankylosis is common in the anterior tooth after trauma and can be referred to as replacement resorption. In this process PDL cells are destroyed and as a result the cells of the alveolar bone will perform most of ...
