PRELIMS: DIVISIONS INTO THIRDS, LINE ANGLE & POINT ANGLE Flashcards
The means of dividing a tooth into 3 parts
DIVISION INTO THIRDS
How is the division into thirds divided?
ACCORDING TO THEIR LOCATION
~ACCORDING TO HOW IT IS DIVIDED ( HORIZONTALLY OR LONGITUDINALLY)
What are the 2 parts of a tooth?
~ROOT
~CROWN
2 Main types of division
~HORIZONTAL DIVISION
~LONGITUDINAL DIVISION
Types of horizontal division
~CERVICAL
~MIDDLE
~OCCLUSAL FOR POSTERIOR TOOTH
~INCISAL THIRD FOR ANTERIOR TOOTH
Types of longitudinal division
~FACIAL ~MIDDLE ~LINGUAL 3RD ~MESIAL ~DISTAL 3RD
Angles formed by the junction of 2 surfaces deriving its name from the combination of the 2 surfaces that join
LINE ANGLE
What are the line angles of anterior teeth?
