Anatomical Difference between deciduous and permanent dentition

DECIDUOUS Size Smaller PERMANENT Larger

Colour

Crown-root Ratio Cervical constriction Enamel Thickness Mineralization

White in Colour (Because Less Mineralized enamel So it is more opaque and whiter Crown Shorter than root Present
Thinner Very Quickly attrited because they are less mineralize

Less Whiter ( Because Highly Mineralized enamel so it is yellowish)

Not so. Absent Thicker Less attrited because they are highly mineralize

DECIDUOUS incisocervically PERMANENT mesiodistally Longer Longer Crown Dimension Mesiodistally than Incisocervically than
Developmental Labial Surface of lines incisors are smooth

Cingulum
Mamelons

Labial Surface of incisors smooth and they dont show convex with to faint any depression and vertical development developmental lines & grooves lines More prominent Less Prominent Absent Incisal ridge consist of three prominent mamelons

Anatomical Difference between Posterior crowns of Deciduous & Permanent Dentition DECIDUOUS Buccal & lingual surface are flatter about the cervical bulge Narrow
- Cusps are short - Ridges are not

Cervical Bulge Chewing Surface Occlusal Surface

PERMANENT More convex

Broad
-Cusps are large &

pronounced - Fossae are not deep Mesial cervical ridge Prominent

Sharp - Ridges are more Pronounced - Fossae are more deep Not Prominent

Contact Areas Size of Molars

DECIDUOUS Broader, flatter & situated more gingivally 2nd Molar Larger than 1st Molar

PERMANENT Narrower convex and situated more occlusally 2nd Molar Smaller than 1st Molar

Anatomical Difference between Roots of Deciduous & Permanent Dentition Root Formation Root Resorption Anterior Root DECIDUOUS Root fully form about one year after eruption Physiological
-Narrower

PERMANENT Take a longer duration of about 3 years Pathological

-Wider mesiodistally

mesioditaslly & longer compare to crown size - Roots bend labially Roots bend distally in their apical third to by 100

DECIDUOUS

PERMANENT

Posterior Root

- Longer & Slendar - Roots are more flare to 1st molar

- Shorter Root - Roots are less flared
