Study Notes
Maxillary Permanent Lateral Incisor
-
Chronology:
- Appearance of the 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
-
Type and Function:
- Function: Incising food and aesthetics.
- Number of Lobes: Four (three mamelons and cingulum)
-
Relation:
- Contacts the central incisor mesially and the mesial surface of the canine distally.
-
No. of Surfaces: Four surfaces and incisal aspect.
-
No. of Roots: One root.
-
Labial Aspect:
- Crown Outline: Trapezoid (short side cervically, long side incisally).
- Outline: Slightly convex mesially, more convex distally, more curved than central incisor, cervical line convex root-wards.
- Angles: Mesio-incisal angle rounded, disto-incisal angle more rounded
-
Surface Anatomy:
- Surface is more convex than the central incisor.
- Cervical ridge located at cervical third.
-
The Root:
- Single root, longer than the upper central incisor root.
- Tapers evenly to apical 1/3, then curves distally with a pointed apex.
-
Lingual Aspect: -Same outline as labial aspect -Mesial and distal sides converge lingually, where the lingual surface is narrower than the labial surface. -Convergence accommodates the horseshoe-shaped alveolar process.
-
Surface Anatomy Elevations and Depressions:
- Cingulum (present at cervical 1/3)
- Marginal ridges (mesial and distal).
- Incisal ridge.
- Lingual fossa (lies between previous elevations) -Lingual pit. -Elevations and depressions are more developed than the upper central incisor.
-
Mesial Aspect:
- Outline: Crown is triangular, base cervically, apex incisally; incisal ridge on a line that bisects the root center.
- Labial outline convex at cervical 1/3 (cervical ridge), then slightly convex to incisal ridge.
- Lingual outline convex at cervical 1/3 (cingulum), concave at lingual fossa, then slightly convex for incisal ridge.
- Mesial cervical line convex incisally.
- Labio-lingual measurement less than the central incisor by approximately 1mm; mesial surface is convex with the maximum convexity at the junction of the incisal and middle 1/3s, (the contact area).
- Root appears longer than central incisor.
- Cone shape, blunt apex, developmental depression.
-
Distal Aspect:
- Similar to mesial, but cervical line curvature is less (by 1mm).
- Contact area located at middle 1/3 (more cervically).
- Smaller and more convex than mesial.
-
Incisal Aspect:
- May resemble central incisor or a small canine.
- Labio-lingual dimension is greater compared to the central incisor.
- Cingulum is centered.
-
Pulp Cavity:
- Mesio-distal Section: Wide, conforming to the crown shape; no three pulp horns (only two).
- Labio-lingual Section: Chamber pointed incisally, then follows the crown's cervical increase in dimension. -Root canal tapers gradually as it reaches the apex (apical foramen).
-
Malformations:
- Peg-shaped lateral incisor
- Missing lateral incisor
-
Differences between lateral and central incisors: This information is found in a separate question-and-answer section. Four differences are listed and detailed:
- Size
- Elevations and depressions
- Incisal angles
- Root
