osce teeth Flashcards
Has one or two lingual cusps more closely approximating the buccal cusp in height
lower second PM
pulp cavity tapers evenly along the entire length until reaching the apical constriction
upper central incisor
Cervical region undulates on the mesial and distal sides of the tooth, mesial undulation being greater than the distal.
upper central incisor
Small groove often runs from the mesial pit onto the mesio lingual surface
lower first PM
Often has enamel extending further apically on the labial side than the lingual side
lower canine
Crown appears flat and almost symmetrical.
lower central
Occlusal surface is more symmetrical with only slight mesial displacement of the lingual cusp
upper second PM
Incisal edges shows three mammelons
upper central incisor
Slightly rounded mesio incisal angle and a short distal surface with a pronounced rounding of the disto incisal angle.
upper lateral incisor
Triangular occlusal surface
upper second molar
The distal marginal ridge is more cervical than the mesial marginal ridge
upper second PM
Longer diagonal extending from the mesiobuccal to the distopalatal cusp and emphasised by the presence of a strong ridge of enamel called the oblique ridge. On each side of the oblique ridge there is a fissure.
upper first molar
In the centre of the crown, it deepens further to form a pit. Another fissure runs mesiodistally and starts near the mesial marginal ridge to cross the central fossa and divide into two branches which pass on each side of the small distal cusp.
lower first molar
Mesial border is shorter and less steeply inclined than the distal border.
upper canine
Lingual surface is slightly narrower and much lower than the buccal surface
lower first PM
Amelocemental junction is at the same level on labial and lingual side of the crown.
upper canine
Two roots, one mesial and one distal. Both are strongly compressed mesiodistally and may show a distal curvature. These features are most pronounced on the mesial root. Mesial root is usually curved, grooved and broader than the distal root.
lower first molar
Viewed from the incisal edge the crown is slightly twisted on the root to follow the dental arch.
lower lateral
There is no developmental depression on the mesial surface of the crown
upper second PM
Mesial contact is located more incisally. Distal contact is located at the centre of the middle third of the crown.
upper canine
Mesial root has two canals, one buccal and one lingual. Single root in distal canal, wide and less curved.
lower first molar
Distal marginal ridge is more cervical than the mesial marginal ridge
lower second PM
The palatal surface is slightly lower and much narrower than the buccal surface
upper first PM
buccal surfaces of the crown and the root in a straight line
upper PMs
Well defined developmental groove in the enamel of the mesial marginal ridge which is in alignment with the developmental depression on the mesial surface of the root but is not usually connected with it. The groove is continuous with the central groove of the occlusal surface
upper first PM
Fissure pattern is plus shaped.
lower second molar
buccal cusp inclined lingually to produce a curved buccal profile
lower PMs
flat mesial surface
upper second PM
The apical part of the root usually has a marked distal curvature
upper first PM
Distal root is not visible from the mesial aspect. Mesial root is curved, grooved or broader than the distal root
lower first molar
Convex shape, middle region is heightened to a prominent ridge running longitudinally to the end tip of the cusp
upper canine
Mesial and distal marginal ridges border the concavity, and the lingual portion of the incisal edge and cingulum.
upper central incisor
Lingual cusp is much larger than that of the first and is displaced mesially
lower second PM
When viewed from above, the line of the incisal edge is perpendicular to a line bisecting the root. The distoincisal angle is marginally rounder than the mesio incisal angle.
