title: [Morphology and characteristics of the cingulum of the permanent maxillary central incisors].
abstract: This study constitutes a synthesis of the main cingular morphologies of the permanent maxillary central incisors. The descriptions concern the teeth of one or other of the left or right hemi-dental arches. In complement was realised a statistical study on a sample of 102 people, between 16 and 38 years old, men and women belonging to diverse ethnic groups. The results are interesting, as indicative, of the proportions of the different cingular morphologies inside the diverse ethnic groups (west Europeans, Melano-africans, Maugrabins).
