TRUE
What are the incisors closest to the midline
CENTRAL INCISORS
What are the incisors or the second tooth from the midline?
LATERAL INCISORS
TRUE OR FALSE:
The Maxillary central incisor crown are normally smaller than the crowns of the lateral incisors
FALSE, THE CROWNS OF THE CENTRAL INCISORS ARE NORMALLY LARGER THAN THE CROWNS OF THE LATERAL INCISORS
TRUE OR FALSE:
The mandibular lateral incisor crown and root are slightly longer than the root of the mandibular central incisor
TRUE
What are the 3 major functions of incisors
MASTICATION
ESTHETICS
PHONETICS
A function of incisor that happens by breaking the food particles into smaller pieces sustainable for grinding via biting, cutting, and shearing
MASTICATION
A function of incisor that is the manner of size, shape, color and placement of incisor which directly contributes to a person’s appearance
ESTHETICS
A function of incisor that is necessary for the execution of certain sounds
PHONETICS
Features for differentiating the crowns of incisors from other crowns of tooth
INCISAL EDGE
MAMELONS
POSITION AND ANGULATION OF MARGINAL RIDGES
LINGUAL FOSSA& CINGULUM
Feature for differentiating the crowns of incisors from other crowns of tooth that has flattened edge or surface that differs greatly from the single cusp of canines and multi-cusped occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth
INCISAL EDGE
Feature for differentiating the crowns of incisors from other crowns of tooth that is rounded extensions of enamel on the incisal ridge of recently erupted incisors.
It is most often 3 in numbers or irregular in number, shape and prominence.
It wears away after incisors come into active occlusion but can occasionally be seen in adult mouths.
MAMELONS
What type of labial surface does mamelons have?
SMOOTH LABIAL SURFACE
TRUE OR FALSE:
In position and angulation of marginal ridges, the contrast markedly with the same features of the marginal ridges of posterior teeth
TRUE
In incisors, where are the marginal ridges located?
MESIAL AND DISTAL TERMINATONS OF THE LINGUAL SURFACE.
IT IS MORE OR LESS PARALLEL TO THE TOOTH’S LONG AXIS
In posterior tooth, where are the marginal ridges located?
OCCLUSAL SURFACE
ROUGHLY AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LONG AXIS OF THE TOOTH
Feature for differentiating the crowns of incisors from other crowns of tooth that is a concavity which covers roughly the incisal half of the lingual surface
LINGUAL FOSSA
CINGULUM
How many incisors are present in the maxilla?
4
The 1st tooth from the midline that has a nearly straight incisal edge
MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISORS
The cervical line of the maxillary central incisor curves where?
THE CERVICAL LINE CURVES TOWARDS THE ROOT
What is the FDI number or the maxillary central incisors?
11 & 21
