Tooth ID Lecture Flashcards
Anterior Teeth vs. Posterior Teeth
Anterior: incisal surface or single cusp
Posterior: more than one cusp
Mesial vs. Distal
From labial view
Mesial surface of crown is straighter
Mesio-incisal line angle is more sqaure
Distal surface of crown is more rounded or curved
Disto-incisal line angle is more round
Which outline of crown has more curvature
CI or LI?
LI
Which has more distinct lingual anatomy
Maxillary or Mandibular Incisors?
Lateral or Central?
Maxillary Lateral
Maxillary CI
Facial View
Crown of CI is widest mesiodistally of any of the anterior teeth
Mesiodistal dimension is close to incisocervical dimension
Crown is somewhat square
Surface is smooth and convex
Maxillary CI
Incisal View
Incisal View:
Cingulum may bulk to the distal
Triangular
Maxillary LI compared to CI
Facial View
Outline not as ____ as CI
____ bulky and ____ slender than CI
MD ____ than CI
Shape?_____
- Longer____
- Shorter ____
Significant ___ of ___ ____
IC and MD dimensions are ____ (rounded_
Facial view:
Outline not as square as CI
Less bulky and more slender than CI
MD narrower than CI
Rectangular
Longer incisocervically
Shorter mesiodistally
Significant rounding of disto-incisal line angle
IC and MD dimensions are convex (rounded
Mandibular Incisors
CI vs LI
Cingulum
Centered on mandibular CI
Offset to distal on mandibular LI
Bulk rightà It’s a right
Bulk leftà It’s a left
Man CI
Incisal line angles
Mesial and Distal surfaces
Central Incisor (Just identify as 24/25)
Incisal line angles are square
Mesial and Distal surfaces are straight
Mandibular Lateral Incisor
Distoincisal line angle is rounded
Sometimes seen on mandibular central incisors
Canine
Maxillary vs. Mandibular
Crown
- Maxillary:
- Short and Wide
- In line with long axis of tooth (from facial)
- Mandibular:
- Long and narrow
- Tilts lingually relative to long axis of root (from facial)
Labial and Lingual View
Canine
Note: The crowns of some maxillary canines are ___ ____
Lingual View:
Labial View
Note: Crowns of some maxillary canines are long incisocervically
Lingual ViewHas marginal ridges, large cingulum and a mesial and distal fossa
Distal fossa is deeper than mesial fossa
Canine Proximal View
Maxillary vs. Mandibular
Incisal Surface
Incisal Surface
Maxillary canine: Labial to long axis of the tooth
Mandibular canine: Lingual to long axis of the tooth
Incisal View
Maxillary vs. Mandibular Canine
Maxillary
Can see a lot of the lingual surface
Mandibular
Can see a lot of the facial surface
R vs. L
Maxillary Canine
_____ ____ than mandibular
___ ___ ___ ___ in the ____ ___ of the ___
Incisal View:
____
____
Wider mesiodistally than mandibular
Distal contact area protrudes in middle 1/3 of crown
Incisal view:
Mesial surface is straighter.
Distal surface is more curved
