In dentistry, cingulum (Latin: girdle or belt)[1] refers to an anatomical feature of incisors. A cingulum is the convexity or bump located on the side of incisors nearest the tongue. When an incisor is viewed in the mouth, the cingulum usually constitutes the majority of the lingual surface along the gingiva or gumline.
