Cervical one third of the crown

Cervical one third on the cingulum

32
Q

On the maxillary canine, where is the mesial contact point?

Concavity, concave

34
Q

On the maxillary canine, is the distal marginal ridge more likely to be irregular or regular in form compared to the mesial marginal ridge?

A

More irregular

35
Q

On the distal aspect of the maxillary canine, how is the contact situated when compared to the mesial contact?

A

It is situated more cervically, in the middle of the middle third of the crown

(makes sense because it’s more like the posterior teeth)

36
Q

From the incisal view, is the maxillary canine thicker mesiodistally or labiolingually?

A

Labiolingually

37
Q

From the incisal view, the tip of the cusp of the maxillary canine is towards the ____ and ____

A

Labial and mesial

38
Q

For the maxillary canine, on radicular perspectives. the root is thicker faciolingually or mesiodistally?

A

Thicker faciolingually than mesiodistally

39
Q

The root of the maxillary canine may have a curve in the apical one third of the root, which may be in a mesial or distal direction, but usually in a ____ direction

A

Distal direction

40
Q

Are all roots of maxillary canines completely convex?

The facial surface of the root is almost parallel to the _______ ______ of the tooth

A

No, some are concave which allows bone to grow into the depression, anchoring it (called mesial and distal development root depression)

Long axis

41
Q

In the radicular aspect of the maxillary tooth, root shape contribute to the formation of the….

A

Canine eminence

42
Q

These are the 4 functions of pulp chambers and canals in canines

A

Formative, Nutritive, Sensory, and Defensive

43
Q
  1. This function of the pulp is its control of the formation of dentin during the developmental period.
  2. This function of the pulp is its control of blood flow to the tooth
  3. This function is the complex system which is responsible for pain
  4. This function is the formation of reparative dentin in response to any form of irritation: mechanical, thermal, chemical, or bacterial
A
  1. Formative
  2. Nutritive
  3. Sensory
  4. Defensive
44
Q

This aspect of the pulp is the coronal pulp located in the anatomical crown

A

Pulp Chamber

45
Q
  1. This aspect of the pulp is the projections of the pulp chambers towards the cusp tips or lobes. They ae located within the pulp chamber.
  2. They are more prominent in OLDER/YOUNGER patients
A
  1. Pulp Horns
  2. Younger
46
Q

This part of th epulp is the radicular pulp located in the anatomical root

A

Root Canal

47
Q

This part of the pulp is the opening at or near the apex. It is a passageway for lymph vessels, nerve, and connective tissue elements

A

The Apical Foramen

48
Q

This part of the pulp are the branches of pulp which extend laterally

A

Lateral Canals

49
Q

It is essential to be aware of the location and size of the pulp cavities during operative procedures to prevent unnecessary ______

It is essential for endodontic procedures to adequately access preparation, locate canals, and avoid _______

A

Exposure
