Questions and Answers

What is the shape of the proximal crown outline of the mandibular posterior teeth?

  • Triangular
  • Rhomboidal (correct)
  • Trapezoidal
  • Rectangular

    • What is the purpose of the rhomboidal crown outline of the mandibular posterior teeth?

  • To facilitate the initial penetration of food material (correct)
  • To increase the stability of the teeth in the jaw
  • To increase the surface area for chewing
  • To reduce the masticatory forces transmitted to the periodontium

    • How does the rhomboidal crown outline of the mandibular posterior teeth differ from the trapezoidal outline of the maxillary posterior teeth?

  • The trapezoidal outline facilitates the sliding of food material along the crown surfaces (correct)
  • The rhomboidal outline has a wider base for strength
  • The trapezoidal outline has a narrower occlusal surface
  • The rhomboidal outline allows for more efficient resistance against masticatory forces
