🗑
Distoclusion   A class II malocclusion in which the mesibuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar occludes (by more than the width of a premolar) mesial to the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular first molar.  
🗑
Embrasure   TRIANGULAR space in a gingival direction between the proximal surfaces of two adjoining teeth in contact  
🗑
Facial surface   Tooth surface closest to the face. Facial surfaces closest to the lips are called labial surfaces, and facial surfaces clostest to the inner cheek are called buccal surfaces; therefore, the term facial can be substituted for labial and buccal andVICEVERSA  
🗑
Functional occlusion   Contact of the teeth during BITING and CHEWING movements  
🗑
Incisal surface   CHEWING SURFACE of ANTERIOR teeth  
🗑
Interproximal space   The AREA BETWEEN adjacent tooth surfaces  
🗑

🗑
Line angle   JUNCTION of two walls in a cavity preparation  
🗑
Lingual surface   SURFACE of mandibular and maxillary teeth closest to the tongue; also called PALATAL SURFACE  
🗑
Linguoversion   Position in which the maxillary incisors are behind the mandubular incisors  
🗑
Maloccusion   OCCLUSION that is DEVIATED from a class I normal occlusion  
🗑
Mandibular arch   The LOWER JAW  
🗑
Masticatory surface   The CHEWING SURFACE of the teeth  
🗑
Maxillary arch   UPPER JAW  
🗑
Mesial Surface   Surface of the tooth toward the MIDLINE  
🗑
Mesioclusion   Term used for CLASS III malocclusion

🗑
Middle third   Division of the root in the MIDDLE  
🗑
Mixed dentition   A MIXTURE of permanent teeth and primary teeth that occurs until all primary teeth have been lost, usually between the ages of 6 AND 12  
🗑
Neutroclusion   An ideal mesiodistal relationship between the JAWS and the dental ARCHES  
🗑
Occlusal surface   CHEWING SURFACE of POSTERIOR teeth  
🗑
Occlusion   The natural contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in all positions  
🗑
Occlusocervical division   CROSSWISE division of the crown that is parallel to the occlusal or incisal surface; consisting of the occlusal third, middle third, and cervical third  
🗑
Palatal Surface   LINGUAL surface of MAXILLARY teeth
