What are the Axial surfaces and their respective positions? - Answer ✔✔Buccal/Labial/Facial

cutting edge of an incisor tooth when it first erupts (they wear away)
,What is the CEJ? - Answer ✔✔CementoEnamel Junction (location where the enamel, which
covers the anatomical crown of a tooth, and the cementum, which covers the anatomical
root of a tooth, meet.)

what is a sulcus? - Answer ✔✔long depression between cusps and ridges where inclines
meet angularly
what are buccal grooves? - Answer ✔✔developmental grooves found on buccal surfaces of
posterior teeth
what is a marginal ridge? - Answer ✔✔rounded enamel borders which form distal and
mesial margins on occlusal surfaces of premolars and molars. form distal and mesial margins
of lingual surfaces on anterior teeth
