|
Facial
Labial surface Buccal surface |
Facial= surface towards lips or checks
Labial Surface= facing lips (anterior teeth) Buccal Surface = facing the cheek |
|
|
|
Lingual
|
Surface towards the tongue
|
|
|
|
Mesial
|
The surface closest to the midline or medium line of face
|
Midline or medium line of face is the equal division of head/body into right/left halves
|
|
|
Distal
|
The surface of tooth furthest from midline or medium line of face
|
Midline or medium line is the e division of body into equal left/right halves
|
|
|
Occlusal
|
Chewing surface of posterior teeth ( premolars & molars)
|
|
|
|
Incisal
|
The surface of teeth that does cutting or tearing (anterior teeth = centrals, laterals, & canines)
|
|
|
|
Proximal
|
Any surface that is immediately adjacent(next to) another surface.(i.e. Mesial & Distal are called proximal surfaces except where there are no adjacent teeth i.e. distal of .3rd molars )
|
|
|
|
Line Angle
|
Is formed by the junction of 2 surfaces & is named for both surfaces.
Ex: labioincisal line angle - where labial & in usual meets |
Line Angles: for anterior
Labioincisal Mesiolingual Mesiolabial Linguoincisal Distolingual Distolabial LINE ANGLE for molars: Distofacial Mesiofacial Linguo-occlusal Mesiolingual Mesio-occlusal |
|
|
Point Angle
|
Point angle is formed by junction of 3 surfaces
|
|
|
|
Anterior Point Angles
|
Mesiolabioincisal point angle
Mesiolinguoincisal pont angle Distolaioincisl point angle Distolinguoincisal point angle |
|
|
|
Point Angles for Posterior teeth
|
Mesiolinguo-occlusal poin angle
Meso-bucco-occlusal oint angle Ditolinguio-occlusal point angle Distoucco-occlusal pont angle |
|
|
|
Division of teeth horizontally &vertially
