Flush Terminal Plane And Its Role In Molar Relationship
Write short note on flush terminal plane.
Answer. The mesiodistal relation between the distal surface of upper and lower second deciduous molar is called the terminal plane.
Answer. The mesiodistal relation between the distal surface of upper and lower second deciduous molar is called the terminal plane.
- A normal feature of deciduous dentition is flsh terminal plane, where the distal surface of upper and lower second deciduous molars are in the same vertical plane.
- This is a normal feature of the deciduous dentition.
- Thus the erupting fist permanent molars may also be in a flush or end on relationship, for the transition of such an end on molar relation to a class I molar relation, the lower molar has to move forward by about 3 to 5 mm ,relative to the upper molar. This occurs by utilization of the physiologic spaces and Leeway space
- They are designated as the early and the late shift
