Permanent Tooth anatomy - Incisors Flashcards
where is the primate spaces in each arch located
mesial to maxillary canine
distal of mandibular canine
why do we have primate spaces
because teeth erupting are larger
functions of incisors
cut food
articulate speech
support lips (aesthetic)
guide mandible during movement
longest incisor crown
maxillary central incisor
how many lobes of development for incisors
4 lobes
*3 mamelons and cingulum
from facial view, characteristics of all incisors
straight incisal edge
longer incisocervically than MD
taper from contact to CEJ
from facial view of all incisors CEJ curves toward
apex
from facial view, all incisors’ roots taper to
apex
are roots of incisors longer/shorter than the crown
longer
which tooth has prominent cingulum on lingual, offset to the distal
maxillary central
eruption time for maxillary central incisor
7-8 years old
number of pulp horns and lobes for both central and lateral incisors in both arches
3 pulp horns
4 lobes (3 mammelons)
mandibular central incisor eruption time
6-7 years old
maxillary lateral incisor eruption time
8-9 years old
mandibular lateral incisor eruption year
7-8 years old
maxillary central incisor has mesial and distal marginal ridges __ lingual
concave
which teeth have disto-lingual twist
maxillary centrals incisors and mandibular lateral incisors
incisal edge is lingual to the labio-lingual midpoint
mandibular central incisor
mandibular central incisor cross section of root looks like
kidney or bow shaped
maxillary lateral incisor has a deep
lingual fossa/pit/developmental groove
where is cingulum located on mandibular lateral incisor
to the distal
has kidney or bow shaped cross section of root
mandibular central and lateral incisors
how many lobes and pulp horns in canines
1 pulp horn
4 lobes
maxillary canine eruption time
11-12 years old
mandibular canine eruption time
9-10
longest tooth, and longest root
maxillary canine
__ divides the mesial and distal lingual fossae on maxillary canine
lingual ridge
