Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most ideal relationship of the second molars in a primary dentition is the mesial step relationship. The permanent dentition should develop into a Class I occlusion. The distal step relationship, at best, will develop into an end-to-end molar relationship in the permanent dentition. The distal step relationship may also develop into a Class II relationship in the permanent dentition. There is no relationship called the "proximal terminal plane relationship." The flush terminal plane relationship may develop into a Class I molar relationship after mesial shifting of the molars into primate and/or leeway spaces.
