Q

The gingival margins of the maxillary teeth should follow what?

A

The upper lip

17
Q

Incisal edges of maxillary teeth should follow what?

A

The lower lip

18
Q

How should the teeth appear as the dentition is viewed from the front?

A

Teeth should be 1/3 smaller as you go posterior (Smile Arc)

19
Q

If one tooth is missing, what should you try to match when replacing it?

A

Contralateral side

20
Q

If both maxillary laterals are missing, how wide should the replacement teeth be?

A

2/3 the width of the central incisors

21
Q

What is the term for spaces between the teeth that are apparent even when the teeth are touching?

A

Black triangles

22
Q

Black triangles are always related to what?

A

Tooth contact point and its distance to the bone

23
Q

When the contact point is within how many mm of bone will there be black triangles?

A

Within 5mm

24
Q

If the contact point to bone is 6mm, what is the percentage that will have dark triangles?

A

44%

25
Q

If the contact point to bone is 7mm, what is the percentage that will have dark triangles?

A

63%

26
Q

What are 3 ways to eliminate black triangles?

A
  1. Converge roots
  2. Change the shape of teeth
  3. Change the width of teeth
27
Q

If a tooth is to be built up using bonding or veneers, should the restorative dentist ask the orthodontist to provide overjet or eliminate overjet?

A

Eliminate overjet

28
Q

A

7 years old

29
Q

If a primary second molar is lost early, what is indicated?

A

30
Q

If a primary first molar is lost early what is indicated?

A

No treatment

31
Q

What can be done to an ankylosed 2nd permanent molar if there is no successor?

A

Reduce it mesiodistally (because it is wider than the premolar that was to replace it) then build up with composite

32
Q

What can help give patients the best treatment possible?

A

Interdisciplinary approach

33
Q

What are 3 requirements for a successful interdisciplinary approach?
