Human Teeth Anatomy

Before I can look into where the bite is going to be, how old it will be, if it's infected etc. I need to look into the anatomy of the teeth so that I can identify what shape the bite mark will be, the depth of the different teeth, the shape of the teeth and how close the teeth are together; I will need to consider all these things when creating my human bite mark.

The diagrams above how the names of the teeth, where they are positioned and their shape. The first, second and third molars all look roughly the same size and length, but they are very flat, meaning I don't think they would make a deep or shape indent and I don't think they would pierce the skin. The molars do, however, have a taller outer edge and a slight hollow in the middle, so that tooth mark would be deeper around the rim of the tooth and then with less pressure in the middle. The first and second premolars look very similar to the molars, but a lot smaller and slightly sharper. They still have a taller outer edge and more hollow middle, but they come to two points at the front and back, meaning the tooth mark would be deeper and more intense. Some people have very sharp canine teeth on the top and/or the bottom. The sharper the tooth, the deeper the mark is likely to be and the more likely it will draw blood. The Lateral incisors are small and flat, so they would pierce the skin more easily and have a thinner and more concentrated mark. The central incisors are the same size as the lateral incisors on the bottom, but they are a lot bigger that the lateral incisors on the top row.
