Incisors Flashcards
What kind of crown shapes are incisors?
Rectangular
Are incisors longer incisogingivally or mesiodistally?
Incisogingivally
Are crown outlines more convex on distal or on the mesial?
More convex on the distal
Except for mandibular central incisors
Where are contact areas located for incisors?
Incisal 1/3
distal contacts are more cervical
If roots are bent in incisors, then which direction will they bend in?
Roots will bend to the distal.
Are roots or crowns longer for the incisor class?
Roots are slightly to considerably longer than crowns.
Where do mesial and distal marginal ridges converge in incisor class?
Mesial and distal marginal ridges converge to the cingulum.
Cervical lines on facial and lingual surfaces make what kind of curve toward which direction?
Curve = convex
toward apically
What is the shape of proximal outlines?
Wedge shape
Where are crests of curvature located facially and lingually?
Located in the cervical 1/3
Proximal cervical lines make what kind of curve toward which direction?
Curve = convex
Toward incisally
More on the mesial cervical line than on the distal cervical line
2 Main features of incisors found lingually?
Concave lingual fossa
Convex cingulum
Which tooth has cone shaped blunt root?
Maxillary central
Which tooth has the largest incisor crown?
Maxillary central
Which tooth’s crown is thinner mesiodistally and faciolingually than central?
Maxillary lateral
Which incisor has pointed root which is wider faciolingually than mesiodistally?
Maxillary lateral
Which incisor has straight root and symmetrical crown?
Mandibular central
Which incisor is larger than mandibular central with DL twist from incisal?
Mandibular lateral
Which incisor is mostly likelly to have two canals and two roots?
Mandibular lateral incisor
Which anterior teeth do not have longitudinal root depressions?
Maxillary central incisor on both mesial and distal
Maxillary lateral incisor only on the distal
Which is the only tooth that has equal facial and lingual embrasures?
Mandibular central incisors
Which anterior tooth is most likely to have multiple canals?
Mandibular central incisor
