More rounded on lateral incisor (i.e. less angular)

22
Q

Mandibular buccal view: compare the crown dimensions of the lateral and central incisors

A

Crown of lateral incisor appears rotated distally on root

33
Q

Mandibular incisal view: compare the crown symmetry

A

Central incisor is symmetrical

Laterla incisor is not due to rotation

34
