Q

As a generality, the proximal contact areas (occlusocervically) are positioned in what portion of the crown? What are the exceptions?

Q

Lingual embrasures are wider than facial embrasures on all permanetn teeth because of faciolingual convergence (generally teeth are wider facially than they are lingually). What are the THREE EXCEPTIONS?

A

(1) Maxillary 1st molar, (2) the 3-cusp variety mandibular 2nd PM (because the lingual calibration of these two teeth is greater than it is on the facial) and (3) mandibular central incisors because they are described as being the same size.
