Q

What are the 3 anatomic features of teeth?

A
  1. Contours
  2. Contacts
  3. Embrasures

*Anatomic features of the teeth help maintain their positions in the arch and protect the tissues during mastication

54
Q

Contours of teeth

A

All teeth have a curved surface except when tooth is fractured or worn
- Some surfaces are convex, some are concave
- General principle: crown of tooth narrows toward the cervical line

  • Facial & Lingual contours (provides gingiva with adequate stimulation for health, while protecting it from damage from food)
  • Mesial & Distal contours (provide normal contact and embrasure form)
55
Q

Height of contour

A

The “bulge” or widest point on a specific surface of the crown
- Contact areas on mesial and distal surfaces are usually considered the height of contour on proximal surfaces

56
Q

Contact (Anatomic Feature of teeth)

A

The area where the crowns of adjacent teeth in the same arch physically touch on each proximal surface

Proper contact serves the following purposes:
- Prevents food from being trapped between the teeth
- Stabilizes the dental arches by holding the teeth in either arch in positive contact with each other
- Protects the interproximal gingival tissue from trauma during mastication

57
Q

Embrasures (Anatomic Feature of teeth)

A

A triangular space in a gingival direction between the proximal surfaces of 2 adjoining teeth in contact

  • They are continuous with the interproximal spaces between the teeth
58
Q

What are the clinical considerations for tooth surfaces?

A
  • The tooth’s angles, height of contour, and spaces define the front or face of a tooth when the design of a patient’s smile is considered, because these features are noted first when contemplating someone’s smile
  • Altering placement and shape of these features changes the face of a tooth and its perceived size and appearance of smile
  • Note: Mesial part of the face and silhouette of a tooth is more angled vertically than distal part
