    Study Notes

    Maxillary Permanent Central Incisor

    • The maxillary central incisor is the broadest of the anterior teeth.
    • It has a trapezoidal geometrical outline with the short side cervically and the long side incisally.
    • The mesial outline is slightly convex, while the distal outline is more convex.
    • It has a straight incisal outline perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth.
    • The labial surface is smoothly convex and flattened incisally.
    • The labial surface is divided into three portions by two shallow depressions.
    • The mesio-incisal angle is sharp, while the disto-incisal angle is rounded.
    • The root is cone-shaped with a blunt apex.
    • The lingual aspect is narrower than the labial aspect, converging mesially and distally to accommodate the horseshoe-shaped alveolar process.
    • The lingual surface has a cingulum, marginal ridges, incisal ridge, and lingual fossa.
    • The pulp chamber is wide and conforms to the shape of the crown.

    Maxillary Permanent Lateral Incisor

    • It's the second tooth from the midline of the upper jaw.
    • It has a trapezoidal crown outline, with the short side cervically and the long side incisally.
    • The mesial outline is slightly convex, while the distal outline is more convex.
    • The mesial contact area is at the junction of the incisal and middle thirds, while the distal contact area is in the center of the middle third.
    • The incisal outline is curved.
    • The mesio-incisal angle is rounded, while the disto-incisal angle is more rounded.
    • The root is single, narrower, and longer than the central incisor, tapering evenly to the apical third and then curving distally with a pointed apex.
    • The lingual aspect is narrower than the labial aspect, converging mesially and distally to accommodate the horseshoe-shaped alveolar process.
    • The lingual surface has a cingulum, mesial and distal marginal ridges, an incisal ridge, the lingual fossa, and a lingual pit.
    • The pulp chamber has two pulp horns only.

    Chronology of Tooth Development for Maxillary Incisors

    • Maxillary central incisor:
      • appearance of dental organ: 5 months intrauterine (m.i.u)
      • first evidence of calcification: 3-4 months
      • enamel completed: 4-5 years
      • eruption: 7-8 years
      • root completed: 10 years
    • Maxillary lateral incisor:
      • appearance of dental organ: 5 m.i.u
      • first evidence of calcification: 1 year
      • enamel completed: 4-5 years
      • eruption: 8-9 years
      • root completed: 11 years

    Malformations of Maxillary Lateral Incisors

    • Missing lateral incisor
    • Peg-shaped lateral incisor
