Question 240 (part 2) · LDEK · Occlusion

Axial loading of teeth may be achieved through contact:

1) cusp – flat surface;
2) 3-point contact;
3) fissure-fissure;
4) tete-a-tete;
5) marginal strip-fissure.
Correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2.
  2. B. 1,2,3.
  3. C. 4,5.
  4. D. 1,2,5.
  5. E. 2,3,4.
Hint

Axial loading needs the resultant force along the long axis of the tooth; ask which contacts are stable stops and which act as wedges.
