A soft, progressive lesion of cementum and dentin that involves bacterial infection and invasion is known as:

root caries

The wearing away of a tooth as a result of tooth-to-tooth contact is known as:

attrition

Distoclusion (Class II) occurs when:

The loss of tooth substance by a chemical process that does not involve known bacterial action is known as:

erosion

During an exam you notice that your patient's left mandibular second premolar (#20) is facial to the maxillary left second premolar (#13); this condition is called:

crossbite

end-to-end bite

When incisor surfaces of maxillary teeth occlude with incisor surfaces of mandibular teeth as viewed mesiodistally, this is classified as:

edge-to-edge bite

When there is a lack of occlusal or incisal contact between certain maxillary and mandibular teeth because either or both have failed to reach the line of occlusion, this is classified as:

open bite
