Mandibular Teeth
Mandibular teeth are the teeth located in the lower jaw, known as the mandible. They include incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, which play essential roles in biting, chewing, and speaking. The structure of these teeth is designed to withstand the forces of chewing and grinding food.
Each type of mandibular tooth has a specific function. Incisors are sharp and used for cutting, while canines are pointed for tearing food. Premolars and molars have broader surfaces for grinding and crushing. Proper care of mandibular teeth is crucial for overall oral health and function.
