What is the functions of incisors?
- Help cut food
- Articulate speech
- Support the lips
How many incisors are in each arch?
4 incisors in each arch
What are 2 types of incisors?
- Central (8/9 & 24/25)
- Lateral (7/10 & 23/26)
What are the 5 surfaces of an incisor?
- Mesial
- Distal
- Facial
- Lingual
- Incisal
How many lobes does an incisor form from?
4 lobes
Where is the contact on maxillary incisors?
- Mesial: Incisal 1/3rd
- Distal: junction of incisal and middle 1/3rd
The mesial marginal ridge is (longer / shorter) than the distal marginal ridge?
Longer
What is the attrition facet's on maxillary and mandibular incisors?
- Maxillary: lingual surface
- Mandibular: facial surface
The maxillary central incisors (8/9) are the _____ M/D than any other incisor.
Wider
What is the time of eruption for the maxillary central incisors for primary and permanent teeth?
- Primary: 7.5 months
- Permanent: 7-8 years old
True/False:
The crown to root ration of central maxillary incisors is greater than any other tooth.
False: it is the smallest of all teeth
The 3 developmental lobes that form the facial of a maxillary central incisor are known as?
Mamelons
What is formed by the 4th lingual lobe of any incisor?
Cingulum
True/False:
The maxillary central incisors have the greatest interproximal CEJ curveture of all teeth.
True
This class of incisor is known to have the greatest variation from normal 2nd to 3rd molars?
Maxillary lateral incisors
What is the time of eruption for primary and permanent maxillary lateral incisors?
- Primary: 9 months
- Permanent: 8-9 years
The distal lingual groove of the cingulum may extend onto the root surface why is this an issue?
Can lead to periodontal issues down the line because it is a plaque trap and can lead to periodontal disease
These are the smallest of all teeth bilaterally.
Mandibular central incisors (24/25)
What is the time of eruption for mandibular central incisors for primary and permanent dentition?
- Primary: 6 months
- Permanent: 5-6 years
What is the time of eruption of a mandibular lateral (23/26) for primary and permaenent?
- Primary: 7 months
- Permanent: 7-8 years
