Abstract

Dental Mamelons

Neha H

Mamelons in the oral cavity are seen on the perpetual incisors (front teeth). These are found on the gnawing or cutting surface of the incisors. The name mamelon is gotten from a French word meaning areola. This is on the grounds that mamelons are formed as adjusted projections on the lasting incisors. They are once in a while seen in deciduous incisors however are frequently seen on lasting incisors. These constructions are found on both the upper and lower incisors. These could conceivably present issues in the creating dentition. The arrangement of mamelons happens when the actual tooth starts to come to fruition during its developmental stages. The incisors can be envisioned as a construction made by the combination of four gatherings of cells called projections. These flaps are organized to such an extent that three are set toward the forward looking (the lips) and one at the back (confronting the sense of taste). During the formative stages these projections circuit to frame a solitary substance yet they end up as adjusted prominences that we know as the mamelons.
