Table 3 Overview of several definitions of the occlusal plane as a reference plane for evaluating the extent of infraoccluded deciduous teeth used in scientific studies
From: Qualitative and quantitative assessment of infraoccluded deciduous teeth: a systematic review
- Connecting line of the incisal edge of the deciduous canine, the incisors and the cusps of all teeth in occlusion [23] |
- Connecting line of the cusps of the neighboring teeth [12, 17, 19, 24, 41] |
- Connecting line of the occlusal surface of the neighboring teeth [17, 26] |
- Connecting line of the mesiobuccal cusp of the first permanent molar to the incisal edge of the central incisors [8, 20, 42] |
- Connecting line of the marginal ridge of the first permanent molar to the incisal edge of the canine [13, 21, 43, 44] |
