NEETMDSMamelons are the rounded prominences on the incisal edge of newly erupted incisor teeth. They typically wear away with normal function and age. In a 15-year-old patient, well-developed mamelons usually indicate that the incisors are not in proper contact or occlusion with the opposing teeth, which prevents the normal wear process.
