How does the food travel? anterior teeth back to the posterior teeth and is then prepared to swallow
Allows food to become trapped in these areas? Deep pits and fissures
Allow food pass over the surface during chewing. Mastication

Separate the nares. (what you have surgery on when you get a nose job) Nasal Septum
Bounded laterally by winglike cartilaginous winglike structures Ala
Tip of nose Apex (of nose)
Inferior to the apex on each sided of the nose. Naris
Area where the pink-red lip tssue meets the facial skin. (where you wear your lip liner) Vermilion border

Having both primary and permanant dentition teeth is known as. Mixed Dentition period as known as the ugly duckling stage.
How many line angle does the posterior teeth have? 8- mesiobuccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, buccolingual, mesio-occusal, disto-occusal, bucco-occusal, linguo-occusal.
How many line angle does the anterior teeth have? 6- mesiolabial, distolabial, mesiolingual, distolingual, linguoincisal, labialincisal.
Rules to naming line and point angles. Mesial always before Distal.Mesial and Distal before other surfaces. Incisal and Occlusal always last.Always drop the "al" from first surface and add an "O". If resulting in double vowel, a hyphen is placed between the words.
