facies occlusalis dentis

facies occlusalis dentis: [TA] occlusal surface of tooth: the surface of the posterior or artificial teeth coming in contact with those of the opposite jaw during the act of occlusion. In natural teeth, restricted to the anatomic tooth surfaces of the posterior teeth limited mesially and distally by the marginal ridges and buccally and lingually by the buccal and lingual boundaries of the cusp eminences. By extension, the term occlusal surface is used to designate the incisal surface (q.v.) of the anterior teeth. Called also masticatory surface.
