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