Unit 3 Flashcards
Smallest Permanent Teeth in the mouth
Mandibular Central Incisor
3 Rounded extensions of enamel on the incisal ridge of recently erupted incisors
Mamelons
Mesial and Distal terminations of the lingual surface
Marginal Ridges
Simplest and least variable teeth in the mouth
Mandibular Incisors
______ are parallel to the tooth’s long axis (vs. posterior teeth @ right angle)
Marginal Ridges
Concavity that covers incisal half of lingual surface
Incisor Lingual Fossa
Lingual ridge w/ 2 fossae on lingual surface
Canine Lingual Fossa
2+ fossae on occlusal surfaces
Posterior Lingual Fossas
Covers the remainder of the lingual surface of incisors
Cingulum
Cinculum is only found on _____ and ______.
Incisors and canines
Calcification start in Maxillary Central Incisors
3-4 Months
Enamel Completion in Maxillary Central Incisors
4-5 years
Eruption in Maxillary Central Incisors
7-8 years
Completion of Root in Maxillary Central Incisors
10 years
Mesioincisal angle is sharp
Maxillary Central Incisor
Seperate the cingulum and lingual fossa
Linguogingival groove
Located btwn the cingulum and the fossa; can be found near center of the linguogingival groove
Lingual Pit
Where are the lingual pit and groove more common?
Maxillary Lateral Incisors
Mesial and distal borders of the lingual fossa/surface make up the _____
Marginal ridges
Labial outline and height of contour of Mesial Aspect of Maxillary Central Incisor
- Convex
2. Gingival 3rd
Shape of CEJ at the Mesial Aspect of Maxillary Central Incisor
Curves incisal
*greatest depth of curvature in mouth
Mesial Contact are of Maxillary Central Incisors
- Incisal 3rd
- Centered labiolingually
- Roughly ovoid shape
Exceptions of Distal aspect of Maxillary Central Incisor
- Distal surface is smaller than mesial
- More convex incisogingivally
- CEJ doesn’t curve as far incisally
- Contact are is smaler and more round
- Distal contact area located farther gingivally (still in incisal 3rd)
Widest mesiodistal incisal surface
