    Study Notes

    Maxillary Lateral Incisor

    • Resembles the maxillary central incisor in function, form, and anatomy, but is smaller in all dimensions except root length.
    • Crown is more rounded, shorter, and narrower mesio-distally than the maxillary central incisor.

    Principle Identifying Features

    • Mesio-incisal angle is acute, and disto-incisal angle is more rounded.
    • Single root with a tapered, distally curved, pointed apex.
    • Lingual fossa is more concave than that of the maxillary central incisor.

    Labial Aspect

    • Crown is shorter and narrower than that of the maxillary central incisor, but the root is as long or longer.
    • Labial surface of the crown is more convex than that of the maxillary central incisor.
    • Mesial outline resembles that of the maxillary central incisor with a more rounded mesio-incisal angle.
    • Crest of curvature (contact point) is located between the middle and incisal thirds mesially.
    • Distal outline is more rounded, with the crest of curvature (contact point) at the center of the middle third.
    • Root tapers evenly and curves distally at the apex.
