Detailed explanation-1: -Permanent teeth are also assigned numbers sequentially. The naming starts from the posterior most region of the upper first quadrant and each tooth is numbered from 1 to 32 in a sequential pattern. The numbering starts from the third molar tooth where the upper right third molar is assigned the number 1.
Detailed explanation-2: -The teeth are usually recognized by a letter of the alphabet beginning with âAâ (Maxillary right second molar) and ending with âTâ (Mandibular right second molar). There are no premolars or third molars in the primary dentition.
Detailed explanation-3: -The primary (deciduous or milk) dentition comprises four incisors, two canines, and four molars in each jaw (total of 20 teeth). The normal permanent (adult) dentition comprises four incisors, two canines, four premolars, and six molars in each jaw (32 teeth).
