Front Back
Question 1
"A" Second Molar Maxillary Right Quadrant
>Used for chewing. >First erupts between 24-32 months old. Exfoliates between ages 10-12 years old. >Resembles the 1st permanent molar. It has 4 primary cusps. One cusp may resemble the cusp of Carabelli. >Will Morph into tooth #4, 2nd premolar.
Question 2
"B" First Molar Maxillary Right Quadrant
>Used for chewing. >Closest to the midline. >First erupts between 12-18 months old. Exfoliates between 9-11 years old. >It has 4 cusps. The mesio-buccal and the mesio-lingual are most prominent. Mesio-lingual is the longest and largest. Disto-lingual is the smallest and may even be absent. Transverse and oblique ridges. >Will morph into tooth #5, 1st premolar.
Question 3
"C" Canine (cuspid) Maxillary Right Quadrant
>More bulky in size it aids in tearing food. >First erupts between 9-12 months old. Exfoliates between 7-8 years old. >Wider, with a pointed incisal edge,making it longer than it is wide. More convex than permanent version. Constricts more at the cervix. Mesio-incisal slope has a pronounced cingulum and mesial and distal ridges. > Will morph into tooth #6.
Question 4
"D" Lateral Incisor Maxillary Right Quadrant
>Used for cutting into food. >First erupts between 9-12 months old. Exfoliates between 7-8 years old. >Smaller than central incisor but longer than it is wide. The incisal edge is more rounded on the mesial and distal sides than the straight incisal edge of the central incisor. >Will morph into tooth #7.
Question 5
"E" Central Incisor Maxillary Right Quadrant
>Used for cutting or biting food to be ingested. >First erupts between 6-10 months old. Exfoliates between 6-7 years old. >Has a pronounced cervical line. Erupts with no mamelons. The labial surface is convex and smooth. >Will morph into tooth #8.
Question 6
"F" Central Incisor Maxillary Left Quadrant
>Used for cutting or biting into food to be ingested. >First erupts between 6-10 months old. Exfoliates between 6-7 years old. >Has a pronounced cervical line. Erupts with no mamelons. The labial surface is convex and smooth. >Will morph into tooth #9
Question 7
"G" Lateral Incisor Maxillary Left Quadrant
>Used for cutting into food. >First erupts between 9-12 months old. Exfoliates between 7-8 years old. >It is smaller than the central incisor but longer than it is wide. The incisal edge is more rounded on the mesial and distal sides than the straight incisal edge of the central incisor. >Will morph into tooth #10.
Question 8
"H" Canine (cuspid) Maxillary Left Quadrant
>More bulky in size it aids in tearing food. >First erupts between 9-12 months old. Exfoliates between 7-8 years old. >Wider,with a pointed incisal edge making it longer than it is wide. More convex than permanent version and constricts more at the cervix. Mesio-incisal slope has a pronounced cingulum and mesial and distal ridges. >Will morph into tooth #11.
Question 9
"I" First Molar Maxillary Left Quadrant
>Used for chewing. >Closest to the midline. >First erupts between 12-18 months old. Exfoliates between 9-11 years old. >It has 4 cusps. The mesio-buccal and the mesio-lingual are most prominent. Mesio-lingual is the longest and largest. Disto-lingual is the smallest and may even be absent. Transverse and oblique ridges. >Will morph into tooth #12, 1st premolar.
Question 10
"J" Second Molar Maxillary Left Quadrant
>Used for chewing. >First erupts between 24-32 months old. Exfoliates between 10-12 years old. >Resembles the 1st permanent molar. It has 4 primary cusps. One cusp may resembl the cusp of Carabelli. >Will morph into tooth #13, 2nd premolar.
Question 11
"K" Second Molar Mandibular Left Quadrant
>Used for chewing. >Erupts between 20-32 months old. Exfoliates between 10-12 years old. >Resembles the permanent mandibular 1st molar, but smaller. Mesio-buccal and disto-buccal cusps are nearly equal. >Will morph into tooth #20, 2nd premolar.
Question 12
"L" First Molar Mandibular Left Quadrant
>Used for chewing. >Erupts between 12-18 months old. Exfoliates between 9-11 years old. >Has 4 cusps. Mesio-buccal the largest, mesio-lingual next in size, diston-buccal and disto-lingual much smaller. Buccal surface is longer than lingual with a very prominent cervical ridge across the gingival area. >Will morph into tooth #21, 1st premolar.
Question 13
"M" Canine (cuspid) Mandibular Left Quadrant
>Bulky in size, aids in tearing food. >Erupts between 16-22 months old. Exfoliates between 9-12 years old. >More delicat in size and form than maxillary cuspid. Cingulum,mesial and distal marginal ridges less pronounced than maxillary canines. Mesio-incisal slope is not as long as the disto-incisal slope. >Will morph into tooth #22.
Question 14
"N" Lateral Incisor Mandibular Left Quadrant
>Used for cutting into food. >Erupts between 7-10 months old. Exfoliates between 7-8 years old. >Resembles the mandibular central incisor except it is longer and wider. The Cingulum, and mesial and distal marginal ridges are more pronounced. Fossa not as shallow. >Will morph into tooth #23.
Question 15
"O" Central Incisor Mandibular Left Quadrant
>Used to cut or bite food to be ingested. >Erupts between 6-10 months old. Exfoliates between 6-7 years old. >Resembles the permanent mandibular lateral incisor. Crown of tooth is wider than the permanent lateral incisor. Shape and form of the incisal edge is almost exact to the permanent lateral incisor. >Will morph into tooth #24.
