    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.
