Class I – This form of cavity forms in the occlusal crevices
and pits. Class I cavities are those you can see and include those that
happen on the buccal and lingual portions of your teeth. |
 |
Class II – These cavities form on the proximal areas of the
molars and premolars. This damage is generally not visible due to its
location and gum tissue. |
 |
Class III – This type of cavity occurs on your incisors and
canines, but only where there is no ‘angle’ to the tooth. They also occur
only on the proximal surface of the front teeth. |
 |
Class IV – This form of cavity occurs on the biting surface
of the incisors and canines. |
 |
Class V – These cavities form below the gumline on the ‘neck’
of the tooth. |
 |
Class VI – This form of cavity forms on the tips of the cusps
of most teeth and the biting edge of the front teeth. |
