What in the Contact area of Maxillary Lateral incisors (M and D)?
M - Junction of incisal & middle 1/3
D - Middle 1/3
Contact area of Maxillary canine (M and D)
M - Junction of incisal & middle 1/3
D - Middle 1/3
Contact area of MANDIBULAR central incisors and lateral incisors (M and D)
M - Incisal 1/3
D - Incisal 1/3
What in the Contact area of Maxillary Central incisors (M and D)?
M - Incisal 1/3
D - Junctional of Incisal & Middle 1/3
Contact area of mand canine (M and D)?
M - Incisal 1/3
D - Middle 1/3
What are the letters for the contact areas for the Maxillary and Mandibular anterior teeth (incisocervically) ?
Maxillary: IJ JM JM
Mandibular: II II IM
GENERALLY, where is the occlusocervical contact area on posterior teeth? and what are the 2 exceptions?
Middle 1/3 of crown (M contact more occlusally) (contact area = ovoid, slightly wider F/L)
Exception :
- Mand 1st premolar M contact which is more cervical due to sloped MMR
- Max and mand molars M contacts are at junction of occl and middle 1/3
GENERALLY, where is the faciolingual proximal contact area located?
- ALL teeth have contact areas on Middle 1/3 (posterior teeth slightly more facial).
- Posterior teeth tend to have theirs slightly more facial
All teeth generally have facial heights of contour at the _________ of the crown although Mandibular Molars are more @ junction of _________ & __________
-Cervical 1/3
- Cervical
- Middle 1/3
Facial heights of contour are also termed _________ and extend in a _______________ direction parallel to the _______________
- Cervical ridges
- Mesiodistal
- Cervical line (CEJ)
Facial heights of contour are most prominent on ____________ .
They are least prominent on _____________.
- Mandibular posterior teeth
- Mandibular anterior teeth
Anterior teeth have lingual heights of contour at the _________ of crown. Also termed _____________
- Cervical 1/3
- Cervical ridges
Posterior teeth have lingual heights of contour at the ________ of the crown. What is the exception to this?
- Middle 1/3
- Exception: Mand 2nd PREMOLAR - lingual ht. of contour is occlusal 1/3 (due to diminished lingual crown height & cusp size)
CEJ is also known as what?
Cervical line
The CEJ dips ___________ on the proximal surfaces of teeth
incisally/occlusally
The CEJ dips more so on the ________ teeth than the _______ teeth.
- Anterior
- Posterior
The CEJ dips more on the __________ ____________ surface than on the __________
- Mesial proximal
- Distal
The CEJ dips more so on __________ teeth than on ________ teeth
- Maxillary
- Mandibular
On which tooth and surface would the most SEVERE CURVATURE be found on?
The mesial surface of the MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR
On which tooth and surface would the LEAST CURVATURE be found on?
Distal surface of the MANDIBULAR 3rd MOLAR
What can be found around every tooth contact area: occlusal (incisal), lingual, gingival, and facial?
4 V-shaped (embrasures)
Lingual embrasures are _________ than facial embrasures on all permanent teeth because of _____________.
- (Generally teeth are _________ facially than they are lingually)
- Exceptions?
- Wider
- Faciolingual convergence
–wider
Exceptions:
- 1) Max 1st MOLAR
2) 3-cusp variety mandibular 2nd PREMOLAR b/c lingual calibration on these 2 teeth is greater than it is on facial
3) Mandibular Central Incisors–facial & lingual embrasures are same size
