Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Cervical line
- A. The cingulum is a prominent bulge on the lingual surface and is readily seen looking straight down from the occlusal/incisal aspect — so it IS visible.
- B. The shallow lingual fossae flanking the lingual ridge are visible from the occlusal view — so it IS present.
- C. Correct. The cervical line (CEJ) is a circumferential landmark seen on the labial/proximal views. Looking straight down from the occlusal aspect you cannot appreciate the cervical line, so it is the EXCEPTION.
