Difference between Permanent & Deciduous Teeth

Deciduous PermanentLarger in size Small in size

Crown is less Bulbous Crown is Bulbous

Crown is darker in color Crown is light in color

Less prominent cervical ridge Prominent cervical ridge( especially 1st deciduous molar)

Longer trunk (the furcation is away from

cervical line)

Short trunk (the furcation is directly after

cervical line)

Less widely divergent roots. Widely divergent roots( to enclose the developing

successor)

Pulp

Anatomy of the pulp

*The coronal pulp

*The radicular pulp

*Apical foramen

*The average size of the apical

foramen is varies from 0.3 to 0.6mm.

The dental pulp is highly specialized loose delicate connective tissue occupying the central portion of the tooth
