Maxillary and Mandibular Canines, incisors both central and lateral of primary teeth

Question 1

Labial view Max canine

Answer 1

• crown is constricted at cervix
• mesial and distal surfaces are more convex
• Long well developed cusp
• Mesial cusp slope is longer than distal
• Root is long and slender and more than twice the length of crown

Question 2

Lingual view max cainine

Answer 2

• Pronounced enamel ridges
• Ridges are: cingulum, mesial and distal marginal ridges, cusp ridges and tubercle at cusp tip connecting cingulum and cusp tip
• root tapers evenly

Question 3

Mesial view max cainine

Answer 3

• outline is similar to lateral and central incisors
• has a greater measurement labiolingual @ cervical third
• Gives an appearance of tooth on steroids

Question 4

Incisal view max cainine

Answer 4

• diamond shaped
• tip of cusp is distal to the center of the crown
• mesial slope is longer than the distal slope

Question 5

Mandibular central labial view

Answer 5

• surface is flat w/no developmental grooves
• mesial and distal sides taper evenly from contact areas
• heavy look at root trunk gives an appearance of max. perm. lateral
• root is long and evenly tapered

Question 6

Mandibular central lingual view

Answer 6

• cingulum and marginal ridges can easily be seen
• lingual surface may have a flattened look at middle to incisal third
• may have slight concavity or lingual fossa

Question 7

Mandibular central mesial view

Answer 7

• incisal ridge is centered over center of the root and -labial and lingual crests of contour
• cervical bulges are prominent
• LL measurment is only 1 mm smaller than maxillary central

Question 8

Incisal view mandibular central

Answer 8

• edge is staight and bisects the crown LL
• will see a taper towards the cingulum
• can see a flattened labial surface, only slightly concave on the lingual

Question 9

Mandibular lateral

Answer 9

• outlines are similar to central only this tooth is larger than central except LL where they are about the same
• incisal ridge tends to slope downward distally so that the contact area on the distal is lower

Question 10

mandibular canine

Answer 10

• very similar to max. canine except the crown and root may be a little shorter
• cervical ridges are not as pronounced as are the max. canine
• major difference is that the DISTAL slope is longer than mesial slope.*
