[The relationship between the reduced form tooth and the structures. The conical shaped upper lateral incisor].

Abstract

The tooth structure of conical shaped incisor is observed with ground sections by light microscope. The Hunter-Schreger bands runs slightly convexed to the cervical from the dentino-enamel junction to the enamel surface. Enamel prisms arrange alternately and form almost arched type. Enamel spindles are observed remarkably. Many globular and interglobular structures are observed in the dentine. These structures are almost similar that of molar teeth expect some special types of enamel prisms. It is concluded that the conical shape did not cause of the reduced pattern of teeth structures.
