Define Baume spaces
Generalized spaces between teeth allowing for space for permanent dentition and space to clean (less caries)
Define primate spaces

- Permanent bicuspids are smaller than D+E (0-4 mm difference)
- 2.5 mm in mandible, 1.6 mm in maxilla (per side)
- NOTE: A lot of leeway space in mandible is lost due to mesial movement of 6’s
Define mesial step
- Molar class in primary dentition usually allowing for Class I permanent molar relationship (can also lead to Cl III)
- If distal surface of lower E is mesial to upper E
Define flush terminal plane (straight, end-on)
Molar classification in primary dentition where there is equal distribution between Cl I and CL II in permanent dentition
