What factors are related to the form of every tooth?
- Position and angulation in the dental arches, contact relations with the opposing teeth, proximal contacts with adjacent teeth, and relationship to the periodontium (correct)
- Position in the dental arches, proximal contacts with adjacent teeth, and relationship to the periodontium
- Coloration, position in the dental arches, contact relations with the opposing teeth, and proximal contacts with adjacent teeth
- Position and angulation in the dental arches, coloration, and contact relations with the opposing teeth
What is a requirement for a successful practitioner, according to the text?
What is a requirement for a successful practitioner, according to the text?
- In-depth knowledge of the normal morphology of the teeth
- An appreciation for the esthetics of tooth form and coloration (correct)
- Familiarity with the risk factors of inadequate proximal contact
- Understanding morphological variability in a functional, esthetic, and statistical sense
What is highly probable if the form of a tooth is not consistent with its functions in the dental arches?
What is highly probable if the form of a tooth is not consistent with its functions in the dental arches?
- The tooth will be prone to decay
- The tooth will not be esthetically pleasing
- Nonfunctional positions of interproximal contacts will lead to problems (correct)
- The tooth will not fit properly in the dental arch
