Question: the location and size of the contact vary in which teeth - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔anterior and posterior
Question: what are the two purposes the contact area serves? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔1- keep food from impaction between teeth
2- help stabilize the arch
Question: three things that may eliminate contact areas - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔tooth movement, loss of teeth, or poorly contoured restorations
Question: good proximal contact area is critical to: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔the
teeth and surrounding tissue
Question: what stabilizes the teeth to prevent drifting or tipping that could
contribute to detrimental occlusion and subsequent periodontal problems? -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔contact
, Page 2 of 55
Question: what also protects the soft tissue interproximally - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔proximal contacts
Question: if there is no contact - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔food becomes impacted
resulting in tissue damage and plaque buildup
Question: the patient will not be able to keep it clean - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔if
the restored contact is tooth tight, broad, or rough
Question: the spaces adjacent and surrounding the contact of the teeth in the
same arch are referred to as - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔embrasures
Question: these are continuous with the interproximal space between teeth -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔embrasures
Question: name the four embrasure areas that surround the proximal contact -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔lingual, facial, incisal, gingival
, Page 3 of 55
Question: these make teeth more self-cleansing because the rounded tooth
surfaces of the crowns are exposed to the cleansing action of foods and fluids
along with the function of the tongue, lips, and cheeks. - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔embrasures
Question: name the four structures of a tooth - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔enamel,
dentin, cementum, and pulp

around to the lower right third molar numbered 17-32
Question: Describe the Federation Dentaire International System for permanent
teeth- CORRECT ANSWER✔✔ The FDI numbering system identifies teeth by
quadrant,then number. Quadrants are listed as 1-4, UR(1) UL(2) LL(3) LR(4). Teeth
are number 1-8 from midline to posterior. 1- central incisor 3- canine 8- third
molar
Question: Surfaces of teeth are identified by their - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔location
Question: The only place where two mesial surfaces come in proximal contact is
between - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔central incisors at the midline
Question: Teeth are divided into two main groups: - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔anterior and posterior
