Question

C) alignment
D) proximal contact
E) width of tooth

Accepted Answer

Height of contour is also called crest of curvature and relates to the curvature of the cervical line,or the CEJ.The height of the contour impacts periodontal attachment in that a higher contoured cervical line affords more cementum on which bone can attach itself.The periodontal attachment follows the cervical line and connects the gingiva to the cementum.
