A

PALATAL FOSSA

18
Q

What is the role of the palatal fossa?

A

guide food towards back of the mouth

19
Q

What can form in the palatal fossa?

A

palatal groove
palatal pit

20
Q

What tooth is shown here?

A

maxillary central incisors

21
Q

What is characteristic of the maxillary central incisal mesial surface?

A

deep CEJ curvature

22
Q

Where is the mesial contact point in the maxillary central incisors?

A

in the incisal 1/3 of the crown

bottom arrow

23
Q

Where is the distal contact point in the maxillary central incisors?

A

junction of the incisal and middle 1/3

24
Q

What is the long axis of a tooth?

A

crown to root tip

25
Q

What is the orientation of the maxillary central incisor?

A

Incisal edge is labial to long axis.

26
Q

What does the incisal edge being labial to long axis mean?

A

the incisors protrude out form the long axis to towards the labial surface

27
Q

Describe the features of the maxillary central incisor shown here

A

Incisal edge is labial to long axis.
Longer mesial marginal ridge (brown).
Distally displaced cingulum (red)
Labio-incisal edge (arrow)
Incisal ridge (blue)

28
Q

When do the maxillary lateral incisors erupt?

A

8 and 9

29
Q

How does the lateral incisor differ from the central incisor?

A

Resembles the central incisor in all views but the crown is smaller and more rounded.

30
Q

In the lateral incisal teeth, which is sharper. the disto-incisal angle or the mesio-incisal angle?

A

mesio-incisal angle

31
Q

Do the lateral or central incisors have a deeper palatal fossa?

A

maxillary lateral incisors

32
Q

How does the cingulum differ between the lateral and central incisors?

A

the lateral incisor is cingulum is narrower

33
Q

Do the lateral or central incisors have more chance of palatal pits forming?

A

the lateral incisors

form grooves and risks of caries

34
Q

What is a palatogingival groove?

A

They originate in the lingual pit and extend cervically towards gingiva. More common on the lateral incisor

may extend onto root surface

35
Q

Where does the palatogingival groove usually originate?

A

the palatal pit

36
Q

Compare the maxillary lateral and central incisors from a proximal point of view?

A

The same

MAXILLARY LATERAL INCISORS SHOWN

37
Q

Describe the labial surface of the lateral incisor

A

more rounded labial surface than 1s

38
Q

Compare the lateral and central incisor’s cingulum distally

A

central - displaced
lateral - central (due to narrower surface)

39
Q
