Study Notes
Class I Caries
- Initiates in structural defects of teeth, such as pits and fissures.
- Common locations:
- Occlusal surface of molars and premolars
- Occlusal two-thirds of buccal and lingual surfaces of molars and premolars
- Lingual surfaces of anterior teeth
Class II Caries
- Occurs on proximal surfaces (mesial and distal) of premolars and molars.
Class III Caries
- Found on proximal surfaces (mesial and distal) of incisors and canines.
Class IV Caries
- Affects proximal surfaces of incisors and canines and involves the incisal edge.
Class V Caries
- Located in the gingival third of facial or lingual surfaces of any tooth, particularly near the gum line.
Class VI Caries
- Involves incisal edges of anterior teeth and occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth that have undergone abrasion.
