The hypocone is found on the distal lingual side of the tooth. It fits into the grooves of the lower dentition and is an adaptation for the overall grinding and tearing of foods using the occlusal (chewing side) of the tooth surface during occlusion or mastication (chewing).
A tooth which is away from the midline, such as lateral incisor, [1] or the sides of a tooth. [6] Lingual The side of a tooth adjacent to (or the direction toward) the tongue (lingua, compare linguistics and language), as opposed to buccal, labial, or vestibular which refer to the side of a tooth adjacent to (or the direction toward) the inside ...
It is widely accepted that there is a factor within the tissues of the first branchial arch that is necessary for the development of teeth. [2] The tooth bud (sometimes called the tooth germ) is an aggregation of cells that eventually forms a tooth and is organized into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla and the dental follicle. [3]
Teeth are depicted in left lateral view (left side and center of the image) or occlusal view (right side of the image). The positions of tooth features are described along four directions: mesial (forwards, towards the chin), distal (backwards, towards the jaw joint), lingual (inwards, towards the tongue), and buccal or labial (outwards ...
The groove pattern is shaped like a “Y” with the tail pointed to the lingual and placed between the distolingual and mesiolingual cusps one third of the distance form the distal to the mesial. The contacts with the adjacent teeth are positioned buccal to the midpoint. Viewed from the buccal the buccal cusp tip is centered mesiodistally.
The distal and mesial marginal ridges are evident and the cingulum is prominent. [13] The lingual fossa is more concave than the central incisor. [13] The cingulum will often have a deep developmental groove on the distal side that can continue well into the root. [13] The lingual view of the lateral incisor fits into the geometric shape of a ...
If your biggest concern about your heart is the burn you feel at 3 a.m., flip over to the left side and drift back to sleep. "Sleeping on the left side often helps with acid reflux," Dr. Vuppuluri ...
These two terms, used in anatomy and embryology, describe something at the back (dorsal) or front/belly (ventral) of an organism. [2] The dorsal (from Latin dorsum 'back') surface of an organism refers to the back, or upper side, of an organism. If talking about the skull, the dorsal side is the top.
