Labially

46
Q

When you set teeth in a dentures course, you will set maxillary anterior teeth with a _____

A

10 degree labial inclination

47
Q

Incisal edges of mandibular incisors should contact the _____ surfaces of maxillary incisors

Lingual

48
Q

The contact of the incisal edges of mandibular incisors contacting the lingual surface of maxillary incisors should contact approximately ____ gingival to the incisal edge

A

4 mm

49
Q

For anterior teeth a class II division I results in:

A

Deep bite (incisal edge of mandibular incisor is contacting lingual cervical portion of the maxillary central incisor

50
Q

For anterior teeth a class II division II results in:

The typically class I contact being pushed upward cervically

51
Q

The most common result of a class III malocclusion is:

A

End to end contact of incisors

52
