Dental cingulate represents a morphological characteristic scarcely studied in the dental field, but widely researched in biological and anthropological contexts. This morphologic structure, unknown or misunderstood by many dentists, represents the point of origin of different morphological dental traits. Traditionally, dental cingulate has been defined as the portion of enamel forming a convex protuberance in the cervical third of the palatal and lingual surfaces of anatomic crowns of upper and lower incisor and canine teeth. Thus, in the dental context, it has been considered as an exclusive morphological structure of incisor and canine teeth –as class– of human dentition.
