Lecture 3 Maxillary Incisors Flashcards
describe the shape of the facial aspect of the maxillary central incisor
trapezoid
when do maxillary central incisors erupt
7-8 years of age
how long is the crown of a maxillary central incisor
10-11 mm at the highest point on CEJ incisal edge
how wide is the crown of a maxillary central incisor
8-9 mm wide at the contact areas
describe the mesial outline of the central incisor from the facial aspect
relatively straight or slightly convex
where is the height of convexity of the mesial surface of the maxillary central incisor
incisal 1/3
which side of the maxillary central incisor is more convex
distal
where is the mesial contact area of the maxillary central incisor
incisal 1/3 of the tooth
where is the height of contour on the distal edge of the maxillary central incisor
junction of the middle and incisal third
describe the incisal outline of this maxillary central incisor
straight
what are mamelons of the maxillary central incisor
3 rounded protuberances found on the incisal edge of newly erupted incisors
describe the mesioincisal edge of the maxillary central incisor
right angle
describe the distoincisal edge of the maxillary central incisor
more rounded than mesioincisal
where is the height of contour on the distal of the maxillary central incisor
junction of the middle and incisal 1/3’s
what is a line angle
the junction of two tooth surfaces
what is a point angle
the junction of three tooth surfaces
how is the CEJ of the maxillary central incisor shaped
it is curved towards the apex
how many roots does this the maxillary central incisor have
one
describe the root of the maxillary central incisor
cone shaped with a blunt apex. apex is slightly to the distal of the long axis of the tooth
how long is the root of the maxillary central incisor
13 mm
what is a ridge
a linear elevation on the surface of a tooth and is named according to location
what is the lingual fossa of the maxillary central incisor bound by
the incisal edge, mesial and distal marginal ridges and the cingulum
what is a cingulum
bublous convexity on the cervical third of the lingual surface on an anterior tooth
what is a pit
a small pinpoint depression in the depths of developmental processes
describe the facial outline from the mesial aspect of the maxillary central incisor
slightly curved, flat incisally
do maxillary central incisors have lingual pits
occasionally
describe the mesial aspect of the maxillary central incisor
triangular or wedge shaped
where do the crown and root taper in the maxillary central incisor
lingual
