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.

  1. 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.
  2. #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.
  3. Neighbors #29 and #31 The adjacent-tooth checkpoint is about them: #29 in front of #30, #31 behind it.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cervical finish line Where the crown will end, near the gum. Its width is the margin checkpoint.
