Compared to the maxillary central incisor, the lingual fossa of the maxillary lateral incisor is:
deeper
How does the mesioincisal line angle of the maxillary later incisor compare to the maxillary central incisor?
More rounded
Which anterior tooth varies in form more than any other tooth?
Maxillary lateral incisor
When is the eruption of the maxillary lateral incisors?
8-9 years
What are some features of the maxillary lateral incisor compared to the m. central incisors?
- Smaller in all dimensions (except length of root) - More rounded - More pronounced mesial and distal marginal ridges (lingual fossa is deeper) - More often exhibit lingual pits - May have lingual developmental groove
What is the geometric form of the m. lateral incisor from the facial view?
trapezoidal
Where is the mesial height of contour in the maxillary lateral incisor?
junction of the middle and incisal 1/3’s
Where is the distal height of contour in the maxillary lateral incisor?
Middle 1/3 (more rounded distally so it will be higher)
Is the labial surface more convex in the maxillary central or maxillary lateral incisor?
Maxillary lateral incisor
All of the following incisal angles are rounded EXCEPT the:
Mesioincisal angle of the Maxillary central incisor
According to the universal notation system, tooth #26 is the:
Mandibular right lateral incisor
Which tooth is 2x as long mesio gingivaly as it is mesio distally?
mandibular central incisor
What is the only symmetrical tooth in the mouth?
mandibular central incisor
What are the MI and DI angles of the mandibular central incisor?
90 degrees
True or false, both contacts of the mandibular central incisor occur at the same level?
True Level is incisal 1/3
Regarding the mesioincisal and distoincisal angles of the mandibular central incisors:
both are right angles
