Many general practitioners are comfortable treating complex cases, as
well as placing implants and extracting third molars (wisdom teeth).
All dentists must achieve a certain degree of skill in various
disciplines in order to graduate from dental school and become an
accredited dentist.

Ectopic enamel is enamel found in an unusual location, such as the root
of a tooth. Taurodontism is a condition where the body of the tooth and
pulp chamber is enlarged, and is associated with Klinefelter syndrome,
Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome, Triple X syndrome, and XYY syndrome.
Hypercementosis is excessive formation of cementum, which may result
from trauma, inflammation, acromegaly, rheumatic fever, and Paget's
disease of bone. A dilaceration is a bend in the root which may have
been caused by trauma to the tooth during formation. Supernumerary
roots is the presence of a greater number of roots on a tooth than
expected.

Dr Norheim All primary teeth are replaced with permanent counterparts except for
molars, which are replaced by permanent premolars. Among permanent
teeth, 16 are found in the maxilla with the other 16 in the mandible.
The maxillary teeth are the maxillary central incisor, maxillary
lateral incisor, maxillary canine, maxillary first premolar, maxillary
second premolar, maxillary first molar, maxillary second molar, and
maxillary third molar. The mandibular teeth are the mandibular central
incisor, mandibular lateral incisor, mandibular canine, mandibular
first premolar, mandibular second premolar, mandibular first molar,
mandibular second molar, and mandibular third molar.

Dentin is the substance between enamel or cementum and the pulp
chamber. It is secreted by the odontoblasts of the dental pulp. The
formation of dentin is known as dentinogenesis. The porous, yellow-hued
material is made up of 70% inorganic materials, 20% organic materials,
and 10% water by weight. Because it is softer than enamel, it decays
more rapidly and is subject to severe cavities if not properly treated,
but dentin still acts as a protective layer and supports the crown of
the tooth.
