Mandibular Lateral Incisors Flashcards
Compare the distoincisal and mesioincisal angles.
The distoincisal angle can be more curved than the mesioincisal angle.
How does the mesial surface compare to the distal surface?
the mesial surface is often straighter than the distal surface
How does the distofacial line angle compare to the mesiofacial line angle?
the cervical part of the distofacial line angle tends to be more rounded
Describe the mamelons of mandibular lateral incisors.
the central mamelon is commonly more prominent than the mesial and distal
what is “the most noticeable difference” between the central and lateral mandibular incisors?
when looking from an incisal view, the lateral incisor’s distal part of the ridge is slightly “twisted” toward the lingual.
Where does the cingulum lie on mand. lateral incisors
it is slightly distal
What is a VERY common characteristic of the roots of lateral incisors?
a distal root concavity
