Q

GENERALLY, where is the occlusocervical contact area on posterior teeth? and what are the 2 exceptions?

A

Middle 1/3 of crown (M contact more occlusally) (contact area = ovoid, slightly wider F/L)

Exception :

  1. Mand 1st premolar M contact which is more cervical due to sloped MMR
  2. Max and mand molars M contacts are at junction of occl and middle 1/3
