Which tooth is the smallest in the maxillary arch?

Which tooth is the smallest in the maxillary arch?

The mesiodistal crown dimension is the smallest of any maxillary teeth.

Which are the strongest and largest maxillary teeth?

Maxillary versus Mandibular A maxillary canine usually displays a central strengthening ridge extending from the cingulum to the cusp. The mandibular canine does not display a central lingual ridge, thus the lingual surface is flatter. The maxillary canine root is the longest and strongest of the whole dentition.

What is the shortest tooth?

Mandibular central incisors are the smallest human teeth and have a relatively long, narrow shape compared to their wider maxillary counterparts. Both pairs of central incisors have a flat, blade-like profile that enables them to slice through food as it enters the mouth.

What teeth in the maxillary arch are bifurcated?

Maxillary first premolar There is a distinctive concavity on the cervical third of the crown extending onto the root. The maxillary 1st premolar is also bifurcated with two roots.

Which teeth have three roots?

Maxillary first premolars and mandibular molars usually have two roots. Maxillary molars usually have three roots.

Which maxillary teeth have the shortest roots?

Maxillary molars have three relatively long roots: mesiobuccal, distobuccal, and lingual (palatal). The lingual root is usually the longest; the distobuccal root is the shortest.

What is the smallest cusp of maxillary first molar?

Distolingual cusp
Distolingual cusp- It is the smallest cusp present.

What is the average length of a maxillary central incisor?

Maxillary central incisors vary in root length with reported average length of 22mm to 23.8mm6-8.

What is maxillary canine?

In human dentistry, the maxillary canine is the tooth located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both maxillary lateral incisors of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary first premolars.

Which of the following components of the tooth is the least mineralized?

Which of the following components of the tooth is the least mineralized? Enamel is the most mineralized tooth substance at 96%. Dentin is about 70% mineral, and cementum is the softest and least mineralized at about 65%.

What are maxillary molars?

Maxillary molars are the 6 molars on the maxillary (upper) arch or jaw. The molars have four well formed cusps, two buccal and two lingual cusps and one supplemental cusp of little practical use known as cusp of carabelli.
