it might be good at this point to differentiate between the two term incisal ridge and incisal edge the incisal ridge is that portion of the crown which makes up the complete incisal portion. when and incisor is newly erupted , the incisal portion is rounded and merges with the mesioincisal and distoincisal angles and the labial and lingual surfaces. this ridge portion of the crown is called the incisal ridge. the term edge implies an angle formed bye the margin of two flat surfaces. therefore an incisal edge does not exist on an incisal until occlusal wear has created a flatten surface linguincisally, which surface forms an angle with a labial surface. the incisal edge is formed by the junction of the linguincisal surface, sometimes called the incisal surface, and the labial surface.

What is the difference in corner of a cube and edge of a cube?

A corner is a point (where three sides of the cube meet). An edge is a line (where two sides meet). A line is also the connection between two adjacent corners.A corner is a point (where three sides of the cube meet). An edge is a line (where two sides meet).

Is it true that if given a right circular cone a plane that intersects the cone not at the vertex and is parallel to its edge will always result in a parabola regardless of the shape of the cone?

Yes, it is true that if given a right circular cone a plane that intersects the cone not at the vertex and is parallel to its edge will always result in a parabola regardless of the shape of the cone. There are four cases... Plane perpendicular to axis: circlePlane between perpendicular to axis and parallel to edge: ellipsePlane parallel to edge: parabolaPlane between parallel to edge and parallel to axis: hyperbolehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section
