Skeleton Teeth
Upper Right 3rd Molar
The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth. Molars are the most posterior teeth in the mouth. Their function is to grind food during chewing. The number of cusps, and thus the overall appearance, vary among the different molars and between people. There are great differences between the deciduous molars and those of the permanent molars, even though their functions are similar. Permanent maxillary molars are not considered to have any teeth that precede them. Despite being named “molars”, the deciduous molars are followed by permanent premolars. The third molars are commonly called “wisdom teeth.”

Upper Right 2nd Bicuspid
The premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth. In humans, there are two premolars per quadrant in the permanent set of teeth, making eight premolars total in the mouth. They have at least two cusps. Premolars can be considered as ‘transitional teeth’ during chewing, or mastication. They have properties of both the anterior canines and posterior molars, and so food can be transferred from the canines to the premolars and finally to the molars for grinding, instead of directly from the canines to the molars.

Upper Right Cuspid
Also known as Canine. Both the maxillary and mandibular canines are called the “cornerstone” of the mouth because they are all located three teeth away from the midline, and separate the premolars from the incisors. The location of the canines reflect their dual function as they complement both the premolars and incisors during chewing. Nonetheless, the most common action of the canines is tearing of food. The upper canine teeth (popularly called eye teeth, from their position under the eyes) are larger and longer than the lower, and usually present a distinct basal ridge. Eruption typically occurs between the ages of eleven and twelve years.

Upper Right Lateral Incisor
The maxillary lateral incisors are a pair of upper (maxillary) teeth that are located laterally (away from the midline of the face). As with all incisors, their function is for shearing or cutting food during mastication, commonly known as chewing. There are two maxillary lateral incisors in the deciduous dentition. The teeth have a more curved distoincisal angle than the primary maxillary central incisor. The tooth is longer cervicoincisally than it is mesiodistally. The average length of the primary lateral incisor is 15.8m, with the average crown length being 5.6 mm and the root length average being 11.4 mm.

Upper Right Central Incisor
The maxillary central incisor is a human tooth in the front upper jaw, or maxilla, and is usually the most visible of all teeth in the mouth. It is located mesial (closer to the midline of the face) to the maxillary lateral incisor. As with all incisors, their function is for shearing or cutting food during mastication (chewing). There is typically a single cusp on each tooth, called an incisal ridge or incisal edge. Formation of these teeth begins at 14 weeks in utero for the deciduous (baby) set and 3–4 months of age for the permanent set. The permanent maxillary central incisor is the widest tooth mesiodistally in comparison to any other anterior tooth. It is larger than the neighboring lateral incisor and is usually not as convex on its labial surface. As a result, the central incisor appears to be more rectangular or square in shape. Generally, there are gender differences in the appearance of this tooth. In males, the size of the maxillary central incisor is larger usually than in females.
