Permanent Maxillary and Mandibular Incisors

Abstract: The permanent incisors are the front teeth that erupt between 6 and 8 years of age. They are eight in number, four upper and four lower, two centrals and two laterals. They have sharp biting surfaces designed for shearing and cutting of food materials into small chewable pieces. They are the teeth most visible to the others during eating, smiling and talking, and thus, they have high aesthetic value for the individuals. The unique characteristics, arch position, function, development and chronological age of e… Show more

“…The four front teeth in the upper and lower jaws are called incisors. The central incisors are the two incisors on either side of the midline, while the lateral incisors are the teeth next to the central incisors [12] . The condition of the problem based on the British Standard Institute (BSI) also categorizes the classes into Class I, Class II/1, Class II/2 and Class III, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.…”

“…As compared to the lateral incisors they form as the result from four lobes, three labially, and one lingually (palatally), the lingual (palatal) lobe being represented by the cingulum [7]. The number and prominence of mamelons are variable in maxillary and mandibular teeth [8]. Mamelons are absent on the primary dentition, therefore, they help to differentiate between primary and permanent dentition [5] and may help with the incisal edge in certain systematic diseases such as the manifestation of Hutchinson's, incisors teeth which are characteristic of syphilis [9], and macrodontia of upper incisors generally a final diagnosis of KBG syndrome [10].…”

“…Among the most challenging aspect of complete denture construction is the proper selection of maxillary anterior teeth [5] . The central incisor forms the spearhead of the anterior teeth, where the teeth width is more fundamental than the length [6] . It is the prosthodontist who comes into play and the only one to correlate and evaluate the biomechanical information so that the selection of artificial teeth will meet the individual needs.…”
