Quadrant
The dental term for the division of the jaws into four parts. The quadrants begin at the midline of the arch and extend towards the last tooth in the back of the mouth - the upper left, the upper right, the lower left, and the lower right. There are four quadrants in the mouth, and each quadrant generally contains five to eight teeth.
