The cingulum is highlighted near the base. In dentistry , cingulum ( Latin : girdle or belt ) refers to an anatomical feature of the teeth . It refers to the portion of the teeth that forms a convex protuberance at the cervical third of the anatomic crown.
The cingulum forms from this lingual lobe of development. [12] The majority of a lingual surface's cervical third is made up of the cingulum. [13] On lower incisors, a cingulum usually is poorly developed or absent. Maxillary canines have a large, well-developed cingulum, [13] whereas the cingulum of mandibular canines is smoother and rounded. [14]

This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English (and other modern languages). Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words.
This list of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names is intended to help those unfamiliar with classical languages to understand and remember the scientific names of organisms. The binomial nomenclature used for animals and plants is largely derived from Latin and Greek words, as are some of the names used for higher taxa , such ...
