17
Q

What is the root of a tooth?

A

Bottom part of the tooth covered by cementum

18
Q

What is the incisal edge?

A

The biting edge of the front teeth, which are typically the central and lateral incisors

19
Q

What is the cervical line?

A

The line around the neck of a tooth, where the cementum and enamel meet

Also known as cementoenamel junction

20
Q

What is the apex of a tooth?

A

Tip of the tooth’s root

21
Q

What is FDI notation?

A

Federation Dentaire International notation

22
Q

What is a fossa?

A

A shallow rounded or angular depression on the tooth where deposits can accumulate (e.g. on the upper lateral incisor palatal surface)

23
Q

What are mammelons?

A

The rounded humps on the edge of incisal teeth; most noticeable when the adult incisors first erupt

24
Q

What is the mesial border?

A

Mesial cusp slope of canines, shorter and less steeply inclined than the distal border

25
Q

What is the distal border?

A

Distal cusp slope of canines, taller and more steeply inclined than the mesial border

26
Q

What is the mesial contact?

A

Crest of curvature on canines, located more incisally than distal contact

27
Q

What is the distal contact?

A

Crest of curvature on canines, located at the centre of the middle third of the crown

28
Q

What is furcation?

A

Area where the roots of a multi-rooted tooth branch off from the main part of the tooth and into the jaw bone, only in molars & premolars

29
Q

What is an oblique ridge?

A

Strong ridge of enamel on the upper first molar

30
Q

What is the mesio-palatal cusp?

A

A specific cusp on the upper first molar

31
Q

What is the tubercle of Carabelli?

A

Small additional cusp on the palatal surface of mesio-palatal cusp, found on about 60% of maxillary first permanent molars

32
Q

What is the central fossa?

A

A shallow, wide depression in the center of the occlusal surface of molars, where the ridges and grooves of the tooth meet

Also known as a pit

33
Q

What is the canine fossa?

A

The surface which contacts the distal surface of the upper canine of the upper first premolar

34
Q

What is the distal marginal ridge?

A

An elevation of enamel which forms the distal margin of the lingual surface of an anterior tooth (especially premolars) from the distal end of the buccal cusp to the distal end of the lingual cusp

35
Q

What is the mesial marginal ridge?

A

An elevation of enamel which forms the mesial margin of the lingual surface of an anterior tooth (especially premolars) from the mesial end of the buccal cusp to the mesial end of the lingual cusp

36
Q

What is the mesial fissure?

A

A well-defined developmental groove in the enamel of the mesial marginal ridge which is continuous with the central groove of the upper premolar occlusal surface

37
Q

What does unilateral mean?

A

Affecting only one side

38
Q

What does bilateral mean?

A

Affecting both sides

39
Q

What does ipsilateral mean?

A

Belonging to or occurring on the same side of the body

40
Q

What does contralateral mean?

A

Occurs on the opposite sides of the body
