See Par. 41.)In smooth regularly formed teeth it begins at the gingival linejust lingual of the summit of its labio-lingual curvature, andruns across the marginal ridge at right angles with its length,then runs almost horizontally across the lingual surface to thedistal marginal ridge. This ridge is now crossed at right angles,and the gingival line reached. The length of the groove usuallyincludes from a quarter to a third of the circumference of thetooth. When the linguo-gingival ridge is prominent, or rises.
