  2. Mandibular second molar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_second_molar

    The permanent mandibular molars are not considered to have any teeth that precede them. Despite being named molars, the deciduous molars are followed by permanent premolars. In the universal system of notation, the deciduous mandibular second molars are designated by a letter written in uppercase. The right deciduous mandibular second molar is ...

    The mandibular first molar is the tooth located distally from both the mandibular second premolars of the mouth but mesially from both mandibular second molars. It is located on the mandibular arch of the mouth, and generally opposes the maxillary first molars and the maxillary 2nd premolar. This arrangement is known as Class I occlusion.

  4. Occlusion (dentistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In order to describe the relationship of the maxillary molars to the mandibular molars, the Angle’s classification of malocclusion has commonly been used for many years. [8] This system has also been adapted in an attempt to classify the relationship between the incisors of the two arches. [9] Incisor Relationship

  5. Permanent teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_teeth

    Permanent teeth or adult teeth are the second set of teeth formed in diphyodont mammals.In humans and old world simians, there are thirty-two permanent teeth, consisting of six maxillary and six mandibular molars, four maxillary and four mandibular premolars, two maxillary and two mandibular canines, four maxillary and four mandibular incisors.

  6. Mandibular setback surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_setback_surgery

    Mandibular first molar teeth (shown in red) The BSSO technique requires two cuts of the mandible utilising an osteotome that is inclined to one side. [17] Firstly, the lateral osteotomy starts at the buccal cortex, the bone in the buccal space. This split is done vertically down to the first or second molar region. [18]

  7. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

    There are 32 permanent teeth and those of the maxillae (on the top) erupt in a different order from permanent mandibular (on the bottom) teeth. Maxillary teeth typically erupt in the following order: (1) first molar (2) central incisor, (3) lateral incisor, (4) first premolar, (5) second premolar, (6) canine, (7) second molar, and (8) third molar.

  8. Tooth impaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_impaction

    That is the total length of the alveolar arch is smaller than the tooth arch (the combined mesiodistal width of each tooth). The wisdom teeth (third molars) are frequently impacted because they are the last teeth to erupt in the oral cavity. Mandibular third molars are more commonly impacted than their maxillary counterparts.

  9. Furcation defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furcation_defect

    For maxillary first molars, the mean root trunk length is 3-4 mm on the buccal aspect, and 4-5 mm on the mesial aspect and 5-6 mm on the distal aspect. [2] As with mandibular molars, the root trunk lengths for maxillary second and third molars are either the same or slightly greater than for first molars, although the roots may be fused.
