Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The linguogingival groove on the permanent maxillary lateral incisors can be considered an adverse factor because tooth deposits can accumulate in the nichelike groove.This feature then can track periodontal destruction apically,following the pathway of the groove,resulting in the formation of a deeply localized periodontal lesion.An open contact,or diastema,can exist surrounding all teeth in both dentitions and does not present periodontal risk.Microdontia is a developmental disturbance that leads to a smaller permanent maxillary lateral incisor crown,or peg lateral,which does not present periodontal risk.This tooth may have one or more tubercles,or accessory cusps,on the cingulum,which does not present periodontal risk.
