Pre-gingival or cervical caries of teeth is diagnosed when the destruction of hard dental tissues affects a part of the tooth near the neck - a slightly narrowed transition of the dental crown to the root, that is, near the very edge of the gum, and often even under it.
Incorrect positioning of the upper and lower jaws with impaired closure of the dentition is a common orthodontic problem, and the most common type of pathological occlusion is the distal occlusion.
