Incisors Flashcards
Sulcular groove
Formed by the area in the central grooves which the two triangular ridges meet
Class 1
72%
Normal
Mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar meet the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular first molar
Incisors are close but don’t touch
Class 2
Retort attic profile when the chin is pushed back
Occlusal is too far distal for the mandibular molars
22%
Class 3
Prob attic profile is when the chin is too far forward
6%
Occlusion is too far mesial for the mandibular molars
Diastema
Small space between 8 and 9
Like Michael Strahan
Too much free gingival
Too much frenum
Mamelon lobes maxillary incisors
Mesial middle distal developmental lobes
The fourth is the maxillary pit
Create 3 lobes and 2 developmental grooves on the enamel
Incisors
CEJ curves towards apex facial
Root longer than crown
Lingual surface narrows
Marginal ridges converge towards cingulum
Lingual fossa pit
Height of contour in cervical third labial/facially
Proximal CEJ curves incisally
Labial surface is less convex than lingual
Mandibular vs maxillary
Root to crown ratio is larger Flatter proximal outlines Contacts closer to Incisal third Less curvature to Incisal edge Wider crowns faciolingually ratio Smoother lingual surface Incisal edge tilts lingual
Incisal wear
More Incisal ridge wear on the mandibular teeth from the maxillary incisors
Maxillary central vs Maxillary lateral
Straighter mesioincisal and distoincisal line angles
Contacts in the Incisal and middle junction
Lateral contacts are more cervical
Centralhave similar root size so a smaller ratio
Lateral root bends dismally
Cross section is triangular vs oval
Cingulum of centrals is shift distal
Cingulum of laterals is central
Lateral is more convex faciolingually
Distolingual twist of the Incisal edge
Maxillary central incisors
Mandibular lateral incisors
Mandibular lateral vs central
Larger, root to crown ratio are the same at 1.4
Distoincisal angle more round than mesioincisal angle
Lateral has mesial contact more Incisal
Central contacts are even on Incisal third
Distal bend to roots
Lateral cingulum is distal
Both have larger distal root depressions than mesial
Both have CEJ curve larger on mesial than distal
Mandibular roots look like kidney shapes
