mandibular incisor Flashcards
covered by enamel vs covered by cemenum
anatomic crown vs. anatomic root
The portion of a tooth that is above the gingival margin.
Clinical Crown

Mandibular Central Incisor
Mandibular Central Incisor
Crown to root ratio approaching one to one
single canal from crown to apex
type 1 vertuccir

pulp separates in two near the crown and joins back together at apex to form one root canal
type 2 vertucci classification

root separate into 2 distinct canals and extends to root apex separately
type 4 vertucci

starts as one root canal in pulp chamber and divides into 2 as it reaches apical foramen
type 3 vertucci
