300 Dental anatomy facts to know cold Flashcards
The primary tooth that has the most distinctly prominent facial cervical ridge is
Mandibular 1st molar
The lingual cusp of the maxillary premolars is off set to
the mesial the first more than the second.
The primary second molar generally exhibits
cusp of Carabelli
Mamelons that remain beyond the age of 10 generally
indicate an open bite
Mandibular central incisors and Maxillary third molars generally occlude with
only one opposing tooth.
- The developmental groove between the df cusp and the dl cusp of the mandibular 1st molar is
distofacial.
- The roots of the maxillary second molar tend to be
less divergent and have greater distal inclinations.
- The teeth whose function is primarily biting are
incisors and canines.
- The tooth with the longest root is the
maxillary canine
- The groove pattern for the mandibular first molar is considered
Y or Dryopethicus pattern
- The groove pattern for the mandibular second molar is consider
a cross (+) pattern.
- When compared to a maxillary canine the mandibular canine has contact areas located
more incisally
- The mandibular 1st PREmolar the mesial marginal ridge located more
cervical than the distal.
- The oblique ridge of maxillary molars
forms the distal boundary of the central fossa.
- A transverse ridge results from
the union of the facial and lingual triangular ridges.
