Etuhammasryhmän

Etuhammasryhmän refers to the group of front teeth in the mouth. This group typically includes the incisors, which are the eight teeth located at the very front of the dental arch. There are four incisors in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. These teeth are generally the most visible when a person smiles or speaks.

The primary function of the incisors is for biting and cutting food. Their sharp, chisel-like edges are well-suited for this purpose. The central incisors are the largest and most prominent of the front teeth, followed by the lateral incisors. Together, the etuhammasryhmän plays a crucial role in the initial stages of mastication and also contributes significantly to facial aesthetics and speech articulation. Their appearance is often a key component of an individual's smile. Damage or loss of these teeth can impact both function and appearance.
