Description
Original diagnosis after Feichtinger, Pollerspöck, Harzhauser, Auer, Ćorić, Kranner, Beaury & Guinot, 2024 [32635]: Upper anterior teeth symmetrical with upright cusp flanked by sharp but smooth mesial and distal cutting edges. Upper lateral teeth with slightly distally inclined cusp and rounded distal heel. Cutting edge of lateral teeth sharp and continuous between cusp and heel, a serration can be developed on the mesial side. Distal heel separated from the cusp by a notch and with coarse serration. Lingual root face with protuberance, which continues mesially and lingually as a bulge. Protuberance pierced by a medio-lingual foramen, one foramen present below the bulge. Short apron developed in anterior teeth, which almost reaches the root base in laterals. Margino-labial foramina are present. Mesial root edge straight, displaced below the crown and rounded on the distal edge. Lower teeth with decreasing height to width ratio from anterior to posterior jaw positions. Strong distally inclined cusp flanked by distal heel, cutting edges well-developed. Lingual crown base with enameloid folds mesially. Strongly arched crown–root junction in anterior teeth; lingual crown–root edge of lateral teeth moderately arched with central enameloid fold (uvula). Lingual root bulge pierced by central and medio-lingual foramina, displaced mesially of the uvula. Margino-lingual foramina present; the first mesial foramen of larger size. Asymmetrical apron with pointed basal extremity not reaching the root base. Several margino-labial foramina of varying sizes. High root in anteriors; lower root height in laterals. Mesial root edge straight but displaced below the crown and rounded at the basal edge of the root. Tooth interlocking surfaces absent.
