  • 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
