    It is widely accepted that there is a factor within the tissues of the first branchial arch that is necessary for the development of teeth. [2] The tooth bud (sometimes called the tooth germ) is an aggregation of cells that eventually forms a tooth and is organized into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla and the dental follicle.

    The dental formula for primary teeth in humans is 2.1.0.2 2.1.0.2. In the primary set of teeth, in addition to the canines there are two types of incisors—centrals and laterals—and two types of molars—first and second. All primary teeth are normally later replaced with their permanent counterparts.

    The names of these teeth are: (1) Incisors, there are eight incisors located in the front of the mouth (four on the top and four on the bottom). They have sharp, chisel-shaped crowns that cut food. (2) Cuspids (or canine tooth), the four cuspids are next to each incisor. Cuspids have a pointed edge to tear food.

  5. Maxillary first molar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_first_molar

    In the universal numbering system, one number is used to identify the tooth. The right permanent maxillary first molar is known as tooth "3", and the left permanent maxillary first molar is known as tooth "14". In the Palmer notation, a number and symbol are used to identify the tooth. The number identifies the tooth position relative to the ...

  6. Cementoenamel junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementoenamel_junction

    [2] Active recession of the gingiva reveals the cementoenamel junction in the mouth and is usually a sign of an unhealthy condition. The loss of attachment is considered a more reliable indicator of periodontal disease. The CEJ is the site of major tooth resorption. A significant proportion of tooth loss is caused by tooth resorption, which ...

  7. Universal Numbering System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Numbering_System

    The tooth designated "1" is the maxillary right third molar ("wisdom tooth") and the count continues along the upper teeth to the left side. Then the count begins at the mandibular left third molar, designated number 17, and continues along the bottom teeth to the right side. Each tooth has a unique number or letter, allowing for easier use on ...

  8. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    The primary teeth typically erupt in the following order: (1) central incisor, (2) lateral incisor, (3) first molar, (4) canine, and (5) second molar. [45] As a general rule, four teeth erupt for every six months of life, mandibular teeth erupt before maxillary teeth, and teeth erupt sooner in females than males. [ 46 ]

    The subgranular zone (in rat brain). (A) Regions of the dentate gyrus: the hilus, subgranular zone (sgz), granule cell layer (GCL), and molecular layer (ML). Cells were stained for doublecortin (DCX). (B) Closeup of subgranular zone, located between the hilus and GCL, [33] a site of adult neurogenesis. Phenotypes of proliferating cells in the ...
