Which of the following represents the dental formula of man
Options:
A .  0.0.3.3 3.1.3.3
B .  2.0.3.3 1.0.2.3
C .  2.1.2.3 2.1.2.3
D .  1.0.0.3 1.0.0.3
Answer: Option C
:
C
The number of teeth of each type is written as a dental formula for one side of the mouth, or quadrant, with the upper and lower teeth shown on separate rows. The number of teeth in a mouth is twice that listed as there are two sides.
In each set, incisors (I) are indicated first, canines (C) second, premolars (P) third, and finally molars (M), giving I:C:P:M. So for example, the formula 2.1.2.3 for upper teeth indicates 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, and 3 molars on one side of the upper mouth
