Incisors, canines, molar
upper (maxillary) teeth surfaces
Labial is towards lip, Buccal is towards cheek, Palatal is towards tongue
what are buccal and labial surfaces called
vestibular surfaces
The definition
Mesial = the surface closest to the midline of the mouth
Distal = the surface furthest from the midline of the mouth
The definition 2
Anterior (front) tooth anatomy
Apex, Root, Cervix/cervical line (amelo-cemental junction), crown, incisal edge
Specific Features of incisors and canines
Cingulum is the bulge or prominence of enamel found on the cervical third of the lingual surface of all anterior teeth
Other feature
Marginal ridges. This is an elevation of enamel which forms the mesial and distal margin of the lingual surface (anterior) or occlusal surface (posterior)
Posterior tooth anatomy
Cusps at top, crown, cervix/cervical line (amelo-cemental junction), root, apex
