Description
Original diagnosis after Malyshkina, 2022 [31076]: The teeth are relatively wide mesio-distally. The mesial cutting edge is slightly concave, forming a depression in the lower third of the crown. The distal cutting edge is convex or straight. The mesial curve of the crown is sharp. The mesial protrusion of the root is large, protruding beyond the mesial edge of the crown. The outer edge of the distal lobe of the apron is concave. The mesial lobe of the apron is wider and longer than the distal one. The uvula on the lingual side of the crown is well defined. The cutting edge of the crown, including the distal heel, is finely serrated. The outer corners of the root branches are rounded. Gradient monognatic heterodonty is present.
