This book explores the anatomy and significance of the distal surfaces of teeth in dental health and function. It covers the role of distal surfaces in mastication, occlusion, and maintaining proper bite alignment. The book emphasizes the identification and management of distal caries, restorations, and periodontal considerations affecting these areas. Suitable for dental students and practitioners, it includes anatomical diagrams, clinical case studies, and best practices for addressing issues related to distal tooth surfaces. Additionally, it discusses preventive strategies and techniques to maintain the integrity of distal surfaces and overall oral health.
