Posterior Contacts: Generally are placed in the ______ 1/3 of the crown. What is our area of exception?
MIDDLE… except the MESIAL contacts of all molars, they are at the JUNCTION of the occ and middle 1/3
Posterior Contacts: The MESIAL contact area is typically positioned more ________ than the distal. WHAT is our 1 exception (and where is it located)?
occlusally…Mandibular 1st PM (mesial is more cervical than distal)
Posterior Contacts: What is the shape of the contact area?
ovoid
Posterior contacts: FacioLingually- where are most contacts found? LETS NOT forget, the posterior teeth tend to have theirs slightly more to ward the _____.
middle 1/3….facial
Heights of Contour: All teeth have FACIAL heights of contour at the ______ 1/3 of the crown….hmmm the mandibular molars are more like what?
cervical…junction of the cervical and middle 1/3’s
What is another name for a facial height of contour?
a cervical ridge!
Which teeth have their facial heights of contour most prominent? Which teeth are they least prominent?
Most-mandubular posteriors, least-mandibular anteriors
What is another name for an anterior’s lingual height of contour? Where are they located?
a cervical ridge!..located in the cervical 1/3
Posterior Lingual heights of contour are normally located in the ______ 1/3 of the crown. Except which tooth? Where’s to at?!
middle….mand 2nd PM (its occlusial 1/3)
THE CEEEEEJJJJJ…The CEJ “dips” in what direction on the proximal surfaces of the teeth?
incisally/occlusally
THE CEEEEEJJJJJ…Speaking of a dip of the CEJ, which “dips” incisally/occlusally MORE: anteriors or posteriors?
anteriors
THE CEEEEEJJJJJ…“dips” more on the ______ proximal surface of the tooth than on the ______.
more dip on MESIAL than on distal
THE CEEEEEJJJJJ…“dips” more on maxillary or mandibular teeth?
