Anatomy in 3D
Find the tooth, its five surfaces and its layers before any module asks you to cut. Peel the gum and enamel and turn on the cross-section.

- Universal numbering Permanent teeth are numbered 1 to 32: tooth 1 is the maxillary right third molar, the count goes along the upper teeth to the left, then from 17 back along the lower teeth to the right.
- #3 and #30 #3 is the maxillary right first molar, the tooth the crown sheet is written for. #30 is the mandibular right first molar, the molar this model shows.
- Neighbors #29 and #31 The adjacent-tooth checkpoint is about them: #29 in front of #30, #31 behind it.
- Five surfaces Occlusal (chewing), buccal (cheek), lingual (tongue), mesial (toward the midline) and distal (away from it). Each axial wall is named by its surface.
- Enamel, dentin, pulp Peel the layers: enamel on the outside, dentin under it, the pulp in the middle. The occlusal reduction is read through these layers.
- Cervical finish line Where the crown will end, near the gum. Its width is the margin checkpoint.
