Study Notes

Tooth Anatomy

Cusps are elevated points on the crown of a tooth that help in food grinding and crushing.

Crown Features

Tubercles or extra cusps are small additional cusps found on the crown of teeth.
The cingulum is a small ridge or elevation on the crown of a tooth, usually found on the anterior teeth.
Marginal ridges are located on the edges of the tooth, forming the boundary of the occlusal surface.
