What is the functional form of anterior teeth from the mesial or the distal aspect ?
Correct answer: D. Wedge- shaped
- A. Rhomboidal
- B. Trapezoidal
- C. Elliptical
- D. Wedge- shaped
Explanation
Viewed from the mesial or distal aspect, anterior teeth taper from the cervical region toward the incisal edge and therefore have a wedge-shaped functional form. This profile reflects the tooth's incisor or canine cutting function.
