Tooth ID with attrition

[michaelzhang]

Hi,

Is there any general rules for identifying canines and incisors with severe attrition?

From my knowledge it is quite difficult with canines upper/lower determination as the upper canine's lingual ridge has the tendency to be worn down due to its occlusion over the lower canine.

I guess the incisors should be easier to identify but to distinguish left and right would be difficult as the mesio/disto incisal angles are the most prominent distinguishing features.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
