*Marginal ridge (mesial & distal) *Cingulum *Lingual fossa -more concave *Linguoincisal ridge - well developed *Lingual pit - frequent *Developmental grooves - at sides(distal) of cingulum may extend to the root

Maxillary Left Lateral Incisor

-longer than Maxillary Central Incisors -tapered cone -bluntly rounded apical end (sometimes pointed) -lines drawn through center of root bisects incisal ridge

Distal Aspect
Maxillary Right Lateral Incisor Distal Aspect

CRO WN

-Triangular profile -width is thicker than mesial *cervical line -a millimetre or so less in depth than mesial side -developmental grooves are sometimes seen on the distal aspect extending to the root

Maxillary Right Lateral Incisor Maxillary Right Central Incisor

CRO WN

-resembles Central Incisors except in size -more convex labially and lingually than Central Incisors -resembles a small canine if: a.)cingulum may be larger than incisal ridge b.)labiolingual dimension is greater than mesiodistal dimension

VARIATIONS
A.

-Maxillary lateral incisors vary in form more than any other tooth in the mouth except third molar. Developmental anomaly -too much variation A. peg-shaped lateral B. presence of palate gingival groove -also called palatoradicular groove C. large, pointed tubercle as part of the cingulum D. twisted roots E. distorted crowns
