Study Notes
Maxillary Central Incisors Function and Characteristics
- Major function includes cutting and shearing food, essential for the initial stages of digestion.
- There are four maxillary incisors in total: two central incisors and two lateral incisors.
Relationship of Maxillary Central Incisors
- The mesial surfaces of the maxillary central incisors are typically in contact with each other, promoting stability and alignment within the dental arch.
Size Comparison
- The maxillary central incisor is larger than the maxillary lateral incisor, with a more prominent and wider crown.
Neighboring Teeth
- Neighboring teeth of the maxillary central incisors include the maxillary lateral incisors on either side and the maxillary canines further back in the dental arch.
