Correct answer: D. Surface - to- surface contact
- A. Cusp - to - cusp contact
- B. Edge- to - edge contact
- C. Marginal contact
- D. Surface - to- surface contact
Explanation
Occlusion refers broadly to the meeting or contact of opposing tooth surfaces, rather than a required cusp-to-cusp or edge-to-edge relationship. Cusp-to-cusp contact is usually unstable and is not the normal ideal arrangement.
