Incisors Flashcards
in maxillary arch
8 and 9
succedaneous or non succedaneous teeth?
succedaneous
when do they erupt?
7-8 years
facial outline of the crown =
trapezoidal
facially the max central incisor size:
longer than it is wide
mesial outline of max central incisor is
relatively straight/slightly convex
height of convexity of mesial surface of max central incisor is where
at incisal 1/3
contacts of central maxillary incisor
mesial: middle of incisal 1/3
distal: at the line of incisal and middle 1/3
the mesioincisal angle of max central incisor=
right angle
the disoincisal angle of max central incisor=
more rounded
CEJ of max central incisor=
curves apically
Labial developmental depressions and ridges of max central incisor
are slightly elevated areas on labial surface
root of max central incisor
only one, longer than the crown, has a blunt apex
what was does the apex of root for max central incisor
it is slightly distal to the long axis of the tooth
max central incisor lingual fossa
bounded by the incisal edge, mesial and distal marginal ridges, and cingulum.
Sometimes have lingual pit
how is the max central incisor lingual aspect CEJ curved
curved convex towards the root
facial, incisal and lingual shape on the max central incisor mesial aspect
triangular,
facial-outline is slightly curved
incisally- flat, edge lies on the line, and slopes towards the lingual
lingual- outline is concavo-convex
CEJ on max central incisor
has the greatest curvature of any tooth in the mouth. It convexs incisally
max central incisor distal aspect
similar to mesial EXCEPT crown is thicker in incisal 1/3 and CEJ curvature is less
facial, incisal and lingual on max central incisor incisal aspect
triangular in shape
wider facially than lingually
facial is broad and flat
lingual is narrower and curved
apex of cingulum on max central incisor
slightly distal to the center of the tooth
max central incisor MF and DF line angles comparison
DF: is more rounded than MF line angle
MF and DF are more prominent than ML and DL line angles
General characteristics of max central incisor
Crown: longer than wide
Root: longer than crown
Crown: wider MD than FL
How many developmental lobes does max central incisor have
4: mesial, distal, lingual and labial lobe.
Mesial- marginal ridges and mesial part of labial surface
Distal- distal marginal ridge and part of labial surface
Labial- slightly prominent ridge
Lingual-cingulum
max central incisor mamelons
are the terminations of the 3 labial lobes, disappear over time
max central incisor pulp
single canal, facially can see 3 pulp horns
cross section view of max central incisor pulp
triangular, has mesial wall longer than distal
max lateral incisor #
7 and 10
max lateral incisor eruption
8-9 years of age
which tooth varies in form more than others
max lateral incisor, exception is the 3rd molars since some don’t even have them
