. Flashcards
an elevation or mound on the crown portion of
a tooth making up a divisional part of the occlusal surface.
CUSP
any linear elevation on the surface of a
tooth and si named
according to its
location (e.g., buccal ridge, incisal ridge, marginal ridge).
RIDGE
descend from the tips of the cusps of molars and premolars toward the central part of the occlusal surfaces.
TRIANGULAR RIDGE
is a ridge crossing obliquely the occlusal
surfaces of maxillary molars and formed by the union of the triangular ridge of the distobuccal cusp and the distal cusp ridge of the mesiolingual cusp
OBLIQUE RIDGE
is an irregular depression or concavity on the surface of the tooth.
FOSSA
are on the occlusal surface of molars.
They are formed by the convergenceofridges
terminating at a central point in the bottom of the
depressoin where there is a junction of grooves.
CENTRAL FOSSAE
are found on molars and premolars on the
occlusal surfaces mesial or distal to marginal ridges
TRIANGULAR FOSSAE
Is a shallow groove or line between the primary parts of the crown or root
DEVELOPMENTAL GROOVE
less distinct, is a shallow linear depression on the surface of a tooth, but it is supplemental to a developmental groove and does not mark the junction of primary parts
SUPPLEMENTAL GROOVE
are small pinpoint depressions located at the junction of developmental grooves or at terminals of those grooves
PITS
resembles a girdle encircling the lingual surface at the cervical third of an anterior tooth.
- It makes up the bulk of the cervical third of the lingual surface.
CINGULUM
is any one of the three rounded protuberances found on the incisal ridges of newly erupted incisor teeth.
MAMELONS
is a smaller elevation on some portion of the crown produced by an extra formation of enamel.
TUBERCLE
This evidence began with the eating of forbidden fruit of the garden of eden
bitemark
was murdered after being taken prisoner and was identified by his false teeth when he was found among those slain.
