What is the best way to assess Angle's molar classification?

  1. Extraoral lateral view
  2. Intraoral lateral (buccal) view
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Intraoral lateral (buccal) view

Angle classification (molar relationship) is assessed intraorally from the buccal side.
  • A. Extraoral profile assesses skeletal AP/vertical relationships, not the molar occlusal interdigitation.
  • B. Correct. The first-molar relationship is read directly intraorally from the buccal/lateral aspect.
