🗑
division of the root nearest the neck of the tooth   cervical third  
🗑

🗑
surface of tooth distant from the midline   distal  
🗑
a class II malocclusion in which the mesiobuccal 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   Distoclusion  
🗑
triangular space in a gingival direction between the proximal surfaces of two adjoining teeth in contact   Embrasure  
🗑
tooth surface closest to the face.facial surfaces closest to the lips are called labial surfaces, & facial surfaces closest to the inner cheek are called buccal surfaces; therefore, the term facial can be substituted for labial and buccal, and vice versa   facial surface  
🗑

🗑
chewing surface of anterior teeth   incisal surface  
🗑
the area between adjacent tooth surfaces   interproximal space  
🗑
facial surface closest to the lips   labial surface  
🗑

🗑
junction of two walls in a cavity preparation   line angle  
🗑
surface of mandibular and maxillary teeth closest to the tongue; also called palatal surface   lingual surface  
🗑
position in which the maxillary incisors are behind the mandibular incisors   linguoversion  
🗑
occlusion that is deviated from a class I normal occlusion   Malocclusion  
🗑
the lower jaw   Mandibular arch  
🗑
chewing surface of the teeth   Masticatory surface  
🗑
the upper jaw   Maxillary arch  
🗑
surface of tooth toward the midline   mesial surface  
🗑
term used for class III malocclusion   Mesioclusion  
🗑
lengthwise division of the crown in a mesiodistal (front-to-back) direction, consisting of the mesial third, middle third, and distal third   Mesiodistal division

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   Mixed dentition  
🗑
an ideal mesiodistal relationship between the jaws and the dental arches   Neutroclusion  
🗑
chewing surface of posterior teeth   occlusal surface  
🗑
the natural contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in all positions   occlusion

crosswise division of the crown that is parallel to the occlusal or incisal surface, consisting of the occlusal third, middle third, and cervical third   occlusocervical division  
🗑
lingual surface of maxillary teeth   palatal surface  
🗑
angle formed by the junction of three surfaces   point angle  
🗑
toward the back   posterior

ridge on permanent incisors that appears flattened on labial, lingual, or incisal view after tooth eruption   incisal edge  
🗑
sloping areas between the cusp ridges   inclined cuspal planes  
🗑
