Talk:Mamelon (dentistry)

All of the online references I've come across use the spelling "mamelon" for this dental condition.

Permanent?

Mamelons are clearly not permanent, as shown by virtually every adult not having them. They are worn away over time. This source is either misquoted, misleading, or clearly not authoritative. Abelhawk (talk) 01:24, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Abelhawk how do you know that for sure? I'm 22 and i still have them. the reason they're still there is because i have something called deep bite. Upper and lower teeth edges never touch each other in this situation, so mamelons never go away. 46.38.90.62 (talk) 19:20, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

Future readers need to know more about this name. Why the fuck are they called nipples? Who came up with this? TheCranberryMan58 (talk) 02:41, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
