Typodonts
• a model of each arch that contains all of the
teeth in the jaw. You will work with maxillary
(upper) and mandibular (lower) typodonts in
the Tooth Preparation class.
Maxillary Mandibular
Tooth Types
• Anterior – incisors and canines
• Posterior – premolars and molars
Anatomic vs. Clinical Crown
• Anatomic crown - The part of the tooth which is
covered by enamel, and extends from the occlusal
surface (or incisal edge) to the cementoenamel
junction (CEJ)
• Clinical crown - that portion of enamel visibly present
in the oral cavity; the visible portion of the tooth that is
occlusal to the deepest part of the gingival crevice
Tooth Structure
• Enamel – outer covering of crown
• Dentin - covered by enamel on the crown and
cementum on the root and surrounds the entire pulp
• Pulp – contains nerve and blood supply
• Cementum – outer covering of root of tooth
• DEJ - dentin enamel junction
• CEJ – cementoenamel junction
Gingiva - gums
Numbering of Teeth
• Universal System—used in clinic (#1-32)
Maxillary teeth #1 – 16 starting in the
patient’s upper right
Buccal Side
of Tooth
Terminology
• Margins - the junctions of the preparation and
the external surface of the tooth
Walls of Cavity Preparation
Pulpal
Lingual floor Distal
• Buccal (Facial) –
cheek side
• Lingual – tongue Axial
wall
side
• Pulpal (floor)
Mesial
• Gingival (floor)
Gingival Buccal
• Axial – wall floor
between pulpal
and gingival floors
• External outline (cavosurface margin) -the
preparation outline created by the outer rim
of the preparation
• Internal outline - the outline created by the
pulpal floor
• Preparation retention - created by placing
parallel or slightly converging walls within the
preparation
External
Internal outline
outline
• Internal line angle - line angle whose apex
points into the tooth, eg. pulpal-axial line
angle
• Point angle - junction of three surfaces of
different orientations, eg. Distobucco-occlusal
point angle
