    What do you bite into to leave your bite mark to show how your teeth are aligned?

    • Plastic

    • Rubber

    • Steel

    • Wax

    Correct Answer
    A. Wax
    Explanation
    Wax is a material that can be easily bitten into and leave a clear impression of the teeth. It is commonly used in dental procedures to create molds of the teeth and assess the alignment. Biting into wax allows the dentist or orthodontist to examine how the upper and lower teeth come together, helping them determine if there are any alignment issues or abnormalities. Plastic, rubber, and steel are not typically used for this purpose and may not provide the same level of detail or accuracy as wax. Therefore, the correct answer is wax.

This field of study examines the factors that contribute to the development of tooth decay, such as bacteria, diet, oral hygiene practices, and genetics.

It lies beneath the enamel and cementum and surrounds the pulp, providing support and protection. Dentin is composed of microscopic tubules that contain fluid and nerve fibers, allowing for sensation and transmitting stimuli to the pulp. It is responsible for giving the tooth its shape and strength.
