Dental anatomy surfaces

  • How do you identify tooth surfaces?

    Surfaces of The Teeth:

    1. Distal: It's the tooth surface that is away from the midline of the face
    2. Facial: It's the tooth surface that faces the cheeks and lips
    3. Mesial: It's the forward side of the tooth that is closest to the midline of the face
    4. Incisal: It's the bitting edge of the anterior surface of the tooth

  • What are surfaces in dental?

    The five tooth surfaces are occlusal (top of the tooth), mesial (front of the tooth), distal (back of the tooth), facial (side of the tooth facing the cheek), and lingual (side of the tooth facing the tongue)..

  • What are the 5 tooth surfaces?

    These surfaces are:

    Occlusal – The chewing surface of the tooth.Mesial – The forward side of the tooth. Distal – The back side of the tooth.Buccal – The cheek-side of the tooth. Lingual – The part of the tooth that is closest to the tongue..

  • What are the surfaces of teeth anatomy?

    Lingual – The surface that faces the tongue.
    Mesial – The surface that is closest to the midline of the face.
    Occlusal– The chewing surface of posterior teeth.
    Proximal – Tooth surfaces that are next to each other (i.e., distal of lateral incisor and mesial of canine)..

  • What are the surfaces of teeth anatomy?

    Lingual: It's the part of the tooth surface that faces the tongue, and is nearest to the tongue.
    Occlusal: It's the chewing surface of posterior teeth.
    Proximal: It's the region in tooth surfaces that are next to each other i.e., distal of the lateral incisor and mesial of canine..

  • A distal tooth surface refers to the back surface of your tooth, whereas mesial tooth surfaces refer to the front surface of your tooth.
    The mesial tooth is easy to clean and floss, but the distal tooth is located at the back of your teeth that is hard to see and challenging to clean.
  • Labial surfaces: The surfaces of incisors and canines which are facing toward the lips.
    Lingual surfaces: The surfaces which are facing toward the tongue.
    Mesial surfaces: Those surfaces which are facing toward the midline.
    Distal surfaces: Those surfaces which are away from the midline.
  • The functional surface of the teeth was defined as the total area of visible wear facets on post-incisal teeth, adding to it the contacting areas of restored teeth where no facets were visible.
    Occlusal surface area was taken as the total area of the occluding parts of post-incisal teeth.
Surfaces of the Teeth
  • Distal – The surface that is away from the midline of the face.
  • Facial – The surface that faces the cheeks or lips.
  • Incisal – The biting edge of an anterior tooth.
  • Lingual – The surface that faces the tongue.
  • Mesial – The surface that is closest to the midline of the face.
Lingual – The surface that faces the tongue. Mesial – The surface that is closest to the midline of the face. Occlusal– The chewing surface of posterior teeth. 
There are mainly five surfaces of the teeth. The five surfaces are labial, palatal, mesial, distal and incisal surfaces. For example, in posterior teeth, mandibular molar, the five surfaces are buccal, occlusal, lingual, mesial, and distal surfaces.
