Week 2 Flashcards
Where is an incisal gingival contact point viewed from?
The facial or lingual
Where is a buccal lingual contact point viewed from?
The occlusal
T or F: The distal incise-gingival contact point is either the same level or more gingival than the mesial incisors-gingival contact point of ANTERIOR teeth
True
T or F: All posterior teeth incisal-gingival contact points are in the middle third of the crown
FALSE: The mesial surface of all molars are at the junction of occlusal and middle third.
T or F All teeth have facial/buccal lingual contact points in the middle third of the tooth
True, but posterior teeth have contact points leaning toward facial
Facial embrasure is always thinner than lingual embrasure EXCEPT:
Mandibular centrals (F=L)
Maxillary 1st molar (F>L)
Facial height on contour is in the cervical third for all teeth EXCEPT:
Mandibular molars are in the junction of cervical and middle third
T or F Lingual height on contour is in the cervical third on anterior teeth
True
Lingual height on contour is in the middle third of posterior teeth EXCEPT
Mandibular second premolar in the occlusal third
When does the root finish forming after eruption?
2.5 years
On anteriors, is mesio-incisal angle more “square” or more “rounded” than the distal?
More square
T or F From a facial view, all crowns are shaped like a trapezoid
TRUE like a football player
T or F Anterior teeth from a proximal view, shaped like a triangle
TRUE
Max Anteriors: The Inciso-gingival contact points from mesial to distal are: Incisal to IM Junc, IM junction to middle, IM junction to middle
True
Mand Anteriors: The Inciso-gingival contact points from mesial to distal are: Incisal to incisal, incisal to incisal, incisal to mid 1/3
True
Max Lateral inciso-gingival contact points
incisal middle junction (M)
middle (D)
Max Canine inciso-gingival contact points
incisal middle junction (M)
middle (D)
Mand Canine inciso-gingival contact points
incisal (m)
middle (d)
Max central inciso-gingival contact points
incisal (m)
Junction of Incisal and middle (D)
Mand central and lateral inciso-gingival contact points
incisal (M and D)
Which embrasure is larger on the maxillary first molar, the facial or lingual?
Facial
Which embrasure is larger on the mand centrals, the facial or lingual?
They are the same
Which embrasure is larger on the mandibular first molar, the facial or lingual?
lingual, like all teeth except the max first molar (F>L) and mand centrals (F=L)
Which embrasure is larger on the maxillary first premolar, the facial or lingual?
lingual, like all teeth except the max first molar (F>L) and mand centrals (F=L)
