MULTIPLE CHOICE
1) The dental formula for the primary/deciduous teeth in humans is which of the following?
A. I 2/2 C 1/1 M 2/2 = 10
B. I 2/2 C 1/1 P 1/1 M 2/2 = 12
C. I 2/2 C 2/2 M 2/2 = 12
D. I 2/2 C 1/1 P 1/1 M 1/1 = 10
ANS: A
The formula for the primary/deciduous teeth in humans is: Incisors, two maxillary and two mandibular; canines, one maxillary and one mandibular; molars, two maxillary and two mandibular. This makes 10 total teeth on each side, left or right.
REF: Nomenclature, pg. 2
2) The dental formula for the permanent human dentition is which of the following?
A. I 2/2 C 1/1 M 2/2 = 10
B. I 2/2 C 1/1 P 1/1 M 2/2 = 12
C. I 2/2 C 1/1 P 2/2 M 2/2 = 14
D. I 2/2 C 1/1 P 2/2 M 3/3 = 16
ANS: D
The formula for the permanent teeth in humans is: Incisors, two maxillary and two mandibular; canines, one maxillary and one mandibular; premolars, two maxillary and two mandibular; molars, three maxillary and three mandibular. This makes 16 total teeth on each side, left or right.
REF: Nomenclature, pg. 2
3) The notation for the primary maxillary left lateral incisor is which of the following according to the Universal system?
A. D
B. G
C. E
D. F
ANS: B
According to the Universal system of notation, upper case letters are used for each of the primary teeth. Maxillary teeth start with the right second molar and use letters A through J. The mandibular teeth start with the left mandibular second molar and use letters K through T.
REF: Tooth Numbering Systems, pg. 3
4) The notation for the permanent mandibular right first premolar is which of the following according to the Universal system?
A. 20
B. 21
C. 28
D. 29
ANS: C
According to the Universal system of notation, numbers 1 through 32 are used to designate the permanent teeth. The system begins with the maxillary right third molar as 1 and continues to the maxillary left third molar as 16. It continues with the mandibular left third molar as 17 and ends with the mandibular right third molar as 32.
REF: Tooth Numbering Systems, pg. 4
5) The notation for the primary mandibular left canine is which of the following according to the FDI system?
A. 53
B. 63
C. 73
D. 83
ANS: C
The FDI system utilized a two-number system of nomenclature. The following applies in the primary dentition: for the first of the two digits, numeral 5 indicated the maxillary right, 6 the maxillary left, 7 the mandibular left, and 8 the mandibular right. The second digit represented the tooth number for each side starting from the central incisors and continuing back.
