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

- 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
