True

What are the two types of dental caries described by location?

Pit and fissure, and smooth surface

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 buccal groove of the mandibular first permanent molar is distal to the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar

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

During your exam, you noticed that the incisal edges of #8 & #9 occlude with the cervical third of the facial surfaces of #24 & #25; this would be identified as:

deep overbite

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

overjet

parafunctional contacts

The purpose of a proximal contact is:
