ISO
Binomial system
First number identifies the quadrant and dentition
:
1 � Permanent maxillary right 5 � Primary maxillary right
2 � Permanent maxillary left 6 � Primary maxillary left
3 � Permanent mandibular left 7 � Primary mandibular left
4 � Permanent mandibular right 8 � Primary mandibular right
Second number identifies specific tooth in quadrant (1-8 permanent) and 1-5 primary
Height of contour
location of greatest curvature on each tooth surface
Line angle
junction between adjacent surfaces on the same tooth
Proximal contact
area where adjacent teeth contact each other
Embrasure
v-shaped space around proximal contacts between two teeth
Anterior Teeth Features
Incisal edge or one cusp
Cingulum and lingual fossa(e)
Marginal ridges parallel long axis
Facial and lingual heights of contour in cervical third
Incisor Functions
Mastication:�incising� or biting, holding
Phonetics
: forming certain sounds
Esthetics
: most visible when smiling
Incisor Features
Incisal edge
Single root
Cingulum and lingual fossa
Marginal ridges parallel to long axis
Wider mesiodistally than faciolingually
Facial and lingual heights of contour in cervical third
CEJ curvature greater on mesial than distal surface
Incisors: Relative Sizes
From largest to smallest:
Maxillary central
Maxillary lateral
Mandibular lateral
Mandibular central
Maxillary Central Incisor
Mesioincisal angle is very sharp
Distoincisal angle slightly more rounded
Incisocervical and mesiodistal dimensions are most nearly equal
Prominent cingulum
Maxillary Lateral Incisor
More convex labial surface
More rounded incisal angles
Longer root relative to crown length
Mandibular Central Incisor
Smallest permanent tooth
Smooth lingual surface
Most symmetrical incisor
Mesio- and distoincisal angles both sharp
Curvature of CEJ is greater on mesial than on distal
Mandibular Lateral Incisor
Larger than central
Mesioincisal angle sharper than distal
Crown twisted on root base
thirds
CEJ
Pattern of Cementoenamel Junction (CEJ) Curvature
