Marginal ridges, a cingulum, and a lingual fossa are standard anatomic features of incisors. The cingulum is a smooth convexity on the lingual surface immediately below the cervical line. The lingual fossa is mesially and distally confluent with the cingulum. Marginal ridges are rounded convexities that border the lingual fossa. Of the four incisors, the mandibular central has the least distinct anatomy as evidenced by a shallow surface with no prominent features.
