Study Notes
Mandibular Permanent Central Incisor
- Identified as #31, #41 (FDI) and #24, #25 (Universal).
- Smallest tooth in the dental arch with the least mesiodistal dimensions among all teeth.
- Exhibits bilateral symmetry and uniform development, with few malformations.
Labial Aspect
- The crown outline is regular and straight, tapering from sharp incisal angles to the root apex.
- Mesial contact area (MCA) and distal contact area (DCA) are positioned at the same level in the incisal third.
- Mesial and distal outlines are straight; incisal outline is straight and perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth.
- Features mamelons and exhibits a smooth surface with minimal developmental lines.
- Labial surface morphology: flat in the incisal third, convex in the middle third, and more convex at the cervical third.
- Root structure is regular and convex, tapering to a pointed apex, with a distal curvature in the apical third.
Lingual Aspect
- Smooth with marginal ridges and a shallow lingual fossa; varies from concave at the incisal third to convex at the cervical third.
- Cervical line is positioned 0.5 mm apically, leading to a longer crown on the lingual side.
Mesial Aspect
- Labial outline straight from the cervical curvature to the incisal ridge; lingual outline shows smooth convexity at the cingulum and a concave middle third.
- Incisal ridge is rounded and positioned lingually to the center of the root.
- Mesial contact area is in the incisal third; root outlines are straight and parallel before tapering to a rounded apex.
Distal Aspect
- The cervical line is shallower than in the mesial aspect, featuring a marked developmental depression with a deep groove on the root surface.
Incisal Aspect
- Incisal edge is straight with a rounded form, situated lingually to the bisecting line of the crown.
- Displays lingual convergence with bilateral symmetry and a broader labiolingual dimension than mesiodistal.
Anomalies
- Possible anomalies include macrodontia, microdontia, and fusion of teeth.
Pulp Morphology
- The pulp chamber features two pulp horns directed toward the incisal angles.
- Generally constricted cervically, with a narrow apex; occasional distal inclination at the apex with lateral foramen position.
- Root canal structure maintains width until the middle third, then tapers towards the apex and opens via a single foramen, sometimes having two root canals with separate openings.
Comparison with Mandibular Permanent Lateral Incisor
- Mandibular lateral incisor (#32, #42 FDI; #23, #26 Universal) is slightly larger, with a fan shape, and displays a longer mesial side compared to the distal, resulting in a cervically sloped incisal ridge.
- Incisal ridge is not perpendicular to the long axis, and the crown appears twisted distolingually when following the mandibular arch curve.
