RD 1: Incisors and Canines Flashcards
function of anterior teeth
cut food, lip support, maintain esthetics
functions of incisors
cut food, speech, esthetics
cutting action of incisors
slice, chop, cut
cutting action of canines
tear, shear, rip
Permanent Anterior Eruption
-centrals always before lateral
-mand central/lateral before max central/lateral
-canines erupt last after central/lateral incisors
ridges on incisors
mesial marginal ridge and distal marginal ridge
incisal edges on incisors
labial incisal edge and lingual incisal edge
(only maxillary incisors)
what kind of fossa found on incisors and what surface
lingual fossa (2 maxillary, 1 mandibular)
developmental lobes on incisors (facial view)
mesial, middle, distal
what separates developmental lobes
developmental depressions (2 lines)
4th lingual lobe on incisor
cingulum
describe the incisor crown’s incisal egde
relatively straight or slightly curved
shape of incisors

-longer incisogingivally than wide mesiodistally
incisor mesioincisal angles are more ______ than distoincisal angles
sharper (acute)
incisor crown contact areas on mesial surface are located where
incisal third
incisor crown contact areas on distal surface are located ……
more cervical than mesial
-EXCEPT : on distal of mandibular central (level contact)
from facial view, incisor roots become _____ from cervical line to apex
more narrow, taper
incisor roots are ______ faciolingually than mesiodistally
wider
-EXCEPT: maxillary central incisors (widths are equal)
incisor roots bend in apical third except which teeth
maxillary central incisor roots
-unlikely to bend
-more likely to bend distal
compare sizes of mandibular vs maxillary incisors
mandibular generally smaller than maxillary
mandibular incisor crowns are wider ______ while maxillary incisors are wider _____
faciolingually, mesiodistally
mandibular incisor crowns have ______ lingual surfaces with ________ anatomy than maxillary incisors
smoother, less prominent
compare length of mandibular and maxillary incisor roots in proportion to their crowns
mandibular roots are longer in proportion to their crowns than maxillary roots
which crowns are more symmetrical (facial)
mandibular incisors
which have larger cingulum
maxillary incisors
compare maxillary central incisors to mandibular
larger in all dimensions
maxillary central is the _____ of all the incisors
widest
maxillary central is narrowest in _____ third and widest in the ______ third
cervical, incisal
max lateral incisor is _______ mesiodistally to the max central incisor,
while the root of the max lateral is _______ than the max central
narrower, longer
max central is shaped like a
trapezoid
max central is slightly longer _______ than ______
incisocervically than mesiodistally
imbrication lines
small parallel lines that are formed due to arrangement of enamel prisms (facial view)
-max central
on max central incisor (lingual view) compare lengths of marginal ridges
mesial marginal ridge is longer than distal marginal ridge
on max central (lingual view), the cingulum is offset to which side
distal
when looking at max central incisor from insical view, compare the two surfaces
facial slightly convex, lingual more convex
