deciduous teeth "temporary","milk", or "baby" teethThe term deciduous comes from the Latin word meaning to fall off.
are shed to be replaced by the permanent teeth that succeed them.Shed=complete resorption of the roots
Importance and Functions of Primary Teeth:
1- for efficient chewing (mastication) of food.
2-support for cheeks & lips maintaining a normal facial appearance.
3- for clear speech.4- for maintaining space for eruption of permanent teeth.
Therefore, premature loss of deciduous teeth is to be avoided.

Essential Differences Between
Deciduous & Permanent Teeth
The deciduous teeth are twenty in number.
Dental formula I 2/2 C1/1 M2/2
There are no premolars in the deciduous set
-lighter in color than are the permanent.
-show physiologic spacing.-The deciduous anterior teeth have a more upright position in jaws,
The permanent teeth are more inclined labially.
-Attrition occurs and a pattern of wearing may be present rapidly.

Traits of All Deciduous Anterior Teeth :
1- The cervical ridges of enamel at the cervical third on the labial
surfaces and the lingual cingula are much more prominent in
deciduous than in the permanent teeth. These prominent contoursmust be considered in operative procedures.
2-.Usually there are no depressions nor mamelons on the labial
surface of incisors.
3--roots are narrower and longer in comparison with crown
width and length, have a labial inclination. Prof Hanaa Aly

Traits of All Deciduous Posterior Teeth
1-prominent mesial cervical ridge buccally on deciduous
molars is much more pronounced, especially on first molars
( maxillary and mandibular) .
2 buccal and lingual surfaces of deciduous molar crown are flatter
coronal to the cervical curvatures than these of permanent molars
there is narrowing in the occlusal surfaces buccolingually.
3- crowns and roots of deciduous molars are narrower mesiodistally
at the cervical third than these of permanent molars.
4- occlusal anatomy is shallow. cusps are short almost flat,
occlusal ridges are not pronounced and fossae and sulci are not
as deep as on the permanent molars.
5- deciduous second molars are larger than the deciduous first molars,
different than in the permanent dentition.
6- roots of deciduous molars are relatively more slender and longerthan roots of the permanent molars. They have very short root trunks.
They also flare out more apically, extending beyond the outlines of the
crown. This flare allows, more room between roots fordevelopment of
permanent teeth crowns before it is time for deciduous molars to loose
their anchorage Prof Hanaa Aly

Comparison of sections of deciduous and permanent teeth shows:
1- enamel is relatively thin and has a consistent depth.
2- dentin thickness between pulp chamber and the enamel is limited.3- pulp chambers are large
pulp horns are high.
root canals are extremely fine

DECIDUOUS MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR
This tooth resembles the permanent maxillary central incisor except for the following:
much smaller than the permanent
. The crown mesiodistal diameter is wider than its cervico-incisal length
(the opposite is true of the permanent central incisor).
The labial surface is very smooth with no developmental lines in evidence.
lingual surface shows well developed, marginal ridges and cingulum,the cingulum extend, toward incisal ridge dividing lingual fossa into two, a mesial and a distal fossa.
The root is almost twice as long as the crown

DECIDUOUS MAXILLARY FIRST MOLAR
Buccal aspect
It is much wider mesiodistally at contact areas than at cervix.
The occlusal is slightly scalloped with no definite cusp form
large mesiobuccal and a small distobuccal cusps.
The buccal surface is smooth with little evidence of developmental grooves.
The cervical line is convex towards the root and is higher mesially than distally.
The roots: are slender and long,
have a wide spread on a very short root trunk.
All three roots are seen from this aspect. The distobuccal root is shorter than the mesiobuccal
Lingual aspect
The crown converges considerably in a lingual direction. The mesiolingual cusp is the longest and sharpest of all cusps.
The distolingual cusp is poorly developed& sometimes absent resulting in a three cusp type molar.
All three roots are seen from this aspect.
The lingual root is larger than the others

Mesial aspect
DECIDUOUS MAXILLARY FIRST MOLAR
crown is much wider at cervical third than at occlusal third.
cervical ridge buccally appears over developed (a typical characteristic of this tooth).
mesiolingual cusp is longer and sharper than the mesiobuccal cusp.
cervical line is slightly concave rootwise.
somesiobuccal and lingual roots are seen from this aspect.
distobuccal is hidden behind the mesiobuccal.
lingual root appears long and slender and extends lingually.
It curves buccally at the apical third
Distal aspect
crown is narrower and shorter distally then mesially.
distobuccal cusp is long and sharp,
distolingual is poorly developed.The prominence of the cervical ridge seen from the mesial aspect at the cervical third
does not continue distally.
cervical line is similar to the distal or straight.
All three roots may be seen from this aspect,
but the distobuccal root is superimposed on the mesiobuccal

Occlusal aspect DECIDUOUS MAXILLARY FIRST MOLAR
rectangular, with the shortest sides of the rectangle represented by the marginal ridges.
Usually have four cusps
but it may appear somewhat like maxillary premolars from
the occlusal view as there is two prominent cusps (a wide mesiobuccal cusp and a narrower mesiolingual cusp).
the distobuccal and distolingual are relatively indistinct.
Sometimes the distolingual is absent.
The occlusal surface has three fossae:
a medium-size central fossa, a large mesial and deep triangular fossa,
and a minute distal triangular fossa, each with a pit: central, mesial, and distal respectively .
A sulcus with its central developmental groove connects the central and mesial fossae.
There is also a buccal developmental groove extending from the central fossa between MB and DB cusps.
There are supplemental grooves radiating from the pit in the mesial triangular fossa.
These grooves radiate as follows:One buccally, one lingually and one toward the marginal ridge,
the last may extend over the marginal ridge mesially.
There will be either an oblique ridge connecting the mesiolingual cusp with the distobuccal cusp.
Or when this ridge is poorly developed, the central developmental groove extends from the mesial pit to DDG
This distal developmental groove is always seen and may or may not extend through to the lingual surface,
outlining a distolingual cusp.
The distal marginal ridge is thin and poorly developed than the mesial

Occlusal aspect
The outline of this tooth occlusally is rhomboidal.
The prominence mesiobuccally at the cervical third of the crown is noticed from this aspect.
DECIDUOUS MANDIBULAR FIRST MOLAR
The occlusal surface hasa central fossa with a central pit and a mesial triangular fossa,
just distal to the mesial marginal ridge with a mesial pit at its apex.
The central developmental groove extends between the central pit and the mesial pit
separating the mesiobuccal and the mesiolingual cusps.
The mesiolingual cusp is the largest and best developed of all cusps.
The buccal developmental groove extends buccally from the central pit,
equally dividing the mesiobuccal and distobuccal cusps.
Supplemental grooves radiate from the mesial pit buccally and lingually.
The lingual developmental groove extends lingually from the central pit,
separating the mesiolingual and the distolingual cusps.
Supplemental grooves radiate in the distal triangular fossa immediately mesial to the distal marginal ridge.
These grooves join the central developmental groove

When the teeth in mandibular arch come into contact with these in maxillary arch in any functional relation
The maxillary arch is larger than the mandibular arch.
In centric occlusion: the buccal cusps and incisive edges of the upper teeth occlude outside or facial to those of the lower teeth.
The lower canines always occlude in front of or mesial to the upper canines.
In the stage of full development
the mesiobuccal cusps of the upper molars occlude outside but opposite the buccal groove between the mesiobuccal
and distobuccal cusps of the lower molars.
At the same time the mesiolingual cusps of the upper molars occlude with the central fossae of the corresponding
lower molars
each tooth, with the exception of the mandibular incisor and the maxillary last molar occludes with two teeth of the
opposite jaw.
A maxillary tooth occludes with the corresponding mandibular tooth and the one distal to it.

DETAILS OF OCCLUSION OF THE
DECIDUOUS TEETH
Occlusion of the deciduous teeth is better described before the beginning of separation
i.e. in closed dentition.
The mesial surfaces of maxillary and mandibular central incisors are in line with each other at the median line
. The mandibular anterior teeth
occlude the maxillary anterior teeth lingually above the level of the incisal ridges.
The maxillary central incisor
occludes with the mandibular central incisor and the mesial third of the mandibular lateral incisor.
The maxillary lateral incisor occludes with the distal two- thirds of the mandibular
lateral incisor and the mesial slope of the mandibular canine.
The maxillary canine occludes with the distal slope of the mandibular canine and
the mesial third of the mandibular first molar mesial to the tip of the mesiobuccal cusp.
The maxillary first molar occludes with the distal two-thirds of the mandibular first molar
and the mesial 1/3 of the mandibular second molar (mesial marginal ridge and mesial triangular fossa).
The maxillary second molar occludes with the remainder of the mandibular second molar.
The distal surface of the maxillary molar projecting slightly over the distal portion of the mandibular second molar.
