Primary Dentition
• 20primary teeth as compared to 32
permanent teeth
• No premolars in the primary dentition
• The primary molars are replaced by the
premolars
• The permanent molars erupt distal to the
primary second molars
Crown of PrimaryTeeth
• Shorter
• Narrower occlusal table
• Constricted in the cervical portion
• Thinner enamel and dentin layers
• Enamel rods in the cervical area
directed occlusally
• Broad and flat contacts
• Color is usually lighter
26.
Crown of PrimaryTeeth
•Prominent mesio-buccal
•cervical bulge seen in primary
molars
•Incisors have no developmental
grooves or mammelons
27.
Primary Crown Anatomy
•Mandibular Incisors- central is symmetrically flat
when viewed from buccal, lateral has a more
rounded DI angle
• Maxillary Incisors- central is only tooth that has
a greater width than height
• Maxillary 1st Molar- unique look, 3 cusps
• Mandibular 1st Molar- 4 cusps, transverse ridge
dividing occlusal surface
28.
Primary Crown Anatomy
•Canines- maxillary is long and sharp,
mandibular has similar shape but smaller
• Maxillary 2nd Molar - resembles
permanent maxillary first molar but smaller
• Mandibular 2nd Molar- resembles
permanent mandibular first molar but smaller
29.
Pulps of PrimaryTeeth
• Relatively larger
• Pulp horns are closer to the outer surface
• Great variation in size and location
• Mesial pulp horn is higher
• Pulp chamber shallow
• Form of the pulp follows the external
anatomy
• Usually a pulp horn under each cusp
30.
Roots of PrimaryTeeth
• Roots of anterior teeth
are narrower mesiodistally
• Posterior teeth have
longer and more slender
roots in relation to crown size
• Molar roots flare more as
they approach the apex
• Apical foramina may be larger
and accessory canals often
larger and more numerous
31.
Summary
• Primary teethhave :
- Thinner enamel and dentin layers
- Pulp horns closer to the outer surface
- Mesial pulp horn much higher
- Relatively larger pulps
- Enamel rods direct slightly occlusally in the cervical
area
- Cervical area is constricted significantly
- Roots flare as they approach the apex
- More tortuous and irregular pulp canals
