Dental Morphology 7-Part Series

Ten times life-size, six teeth representative of every human tooth type are included in this series:

• Lateral Incisor
• Canine (cuspid)
• First Premolar (bicuspid) with advanced caries
• Second Premolar
• Detachable bridge, consisting of first Molar with gold crown
• Second Molar

Since it is nearly identical morphologically to the lateral incisor, the central incisor is not included, nor is the third molar, which is so similar to the second. Each tooth has its name hand lettered on its surface, and is removable from the transparent base.

22 hand-coded features are identified in the accompanying key.

2. Crown
3. Neck
4. Root
5. Enamel
6. Dentin

19. Gold Crown on Replacement Tooth
20. Second Molar
21. Tooth Preparation to Receive Inlay
22. Second Molar Inlay

In life, the periodontal membrane lies between the tooth and the gum line. The gum line is represented by the stand on this model. The mandible (jawbone) lies under the gum line.
