Q

In an ideal occlusion, where does the mesiofacial cusp of the maxillary second molar occlude?

A

On the facial groove (mesiofacial) of the mandibular second molar

17
Q

During a left lateral (working - laterotrusive) movement, the facial cusp of the maxillary 2nd premolar escapes where?

A

Q

What is abfraction?

The breakdown is independent of what?

A
