Jaimin013 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Those teeth have interesting shapes to them! Great find! Hopefully someone on the forum will be able to help you identify these. Can you provide us with a location of where these were found? This may help in the identification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially that's what I thought too but the bottom threw me... and the others I have have holes in the occlusal end, perhaps it's a juvenile?

Malone Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Could someone elaborate on what the occlusal end is ? I looked it up and it says where a tooth meets another tooth in the jaw, so would that be the upper portion of the tooth on either side or is it the root end?

doushantuo Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Does it help if i call the occlusal surface the "chewing surface"? underneath:an oblique view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Occlusal" refers to the surface of the tooth that is used for chewing or grinding. Overall, there are five surfaces to each tooth: Occlusal. Mesial - forward or front. Distal - behind towards the back of the mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, there are five surfaces to each tooth: Occlusal. Mesial - forward or front. Distal - behind towards the back of the mouth. That makes it real clear! Thanks for the information. Much clearer than what I got from a search. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention! I appreciate the added information too! Learning the terminology is important for me to understand what everyone is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I went back and reread the definition and realized it was my error. I get to reading to fast and make receptive errors in judgment. Appreciate the correction!
