Describing a Tooth
- Ideal tooth description includes specific features such as shape, size, number of cusps, and overall morphology.
- Emphasize consistent terminology for anatomical locations, such as mesial, distal, buccal, lingual, and occlusal.
Maxillary Permanent Incisors
- There are a total of eight maxillary permanent incisors, consisting of four central incisors and four lateral incisors.
Tooth Positioning in the Upper Jaw
- The lateral incisor is the tooth that is distal to the central incisor in the upper jaw, following the central incisors.
Broadest Anterior Tooth
- The maxillary central incisor is recognized as the broadest tooth among the anterior teeth in the upper jaw, characterized by its wide mesiodistal dimension.
Aspects for Tooth Description
- Students should consider following a systematic approach that includes identifying the tooth type, location, function, and individual characteristics for a comprehensive description.
