total = 20 = 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 molar/ per quadrant
2. Suucedaneous = grow (6-12 yrs)
Total = 32 = 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolar, 3 molar
16What is the shape and function of the incisors, canines and premolars/molars?
Incisors = chisel shaped for cutting
Canines = fanglike for puncturing and tearing
Premolar/molars = wide with multiple edges
17How are the teeth numbered ?
