The incisal margin is the inferiorly located, cutting edge of the maxillary lateral incisor tooth. It meets the:
- labial surface at the labioincisal angle;
- lingual surface at the linguoincisal angle.
For descriptive purposes, the incisal margin of a tooth can be divided by two vertical lines into three portions. In a mesial to distal direction, these are the:
- mesial third;
- middle third;
- distal third.
