Where is the height of contour usually located on the lingual surfaces of posterior teeth?

In the cervical third of the crown

In the incisal third of the crown

In the middle third of the crown (correct)

At the gingival margin

What happens if there is an over-contour of the tooth's lingual surface?

The food gets stuck between the teeth, causing irritation to the soft tissue

The food passes over the gingiva without any effect on the supporting tissues

The food stimulates the supporting tissues excessively, leading to hyperstimulation

The food is deflected from the gingiva, resulting in under-stimulation of supporting tissues (correct)

Where is the proximal contact area located in the approximating surfaces of maxillary and mandibular central incisors?

In the incisal third of the approximating surfaces (correct)

In the middle third of the approximating surfaces

At the gingival margin of the approximating surfaces

In the cervical third of the approximating surfaces
