The incisal edge refers to the biting edge of the front teeth, which are typically the central and lateral incisors. This part of the tooth is crucial for various dental functions, including biting into food and cutting it. It plays a significant role in your smile's aesthetics and functionality.
Compared to the occlusal surface, which is the biting surface of the molars and premolars, the incisal edge is specific to the front teeth. It's important to maintain the health and integrity of the incisal edge to ensure proper dental function and a beautiful smile.
