proximal. Within the dentition, the proximal surface would be considered mesial.
C Both statements are false. An area closer to the midsagittal plane or median
plane of the body or structure is considered medial. An area farther from the
midsagittal plane or midsagittal plane or median plane of the body or structure is
considered lateral. And an area closer to the midsagittal plane or median plane is
considered to be proximal. Within the dentition, the proximal surface would be
considered mesial.
D Both statements are false. An area closer to the midsagittal plane or median
plane of the body or structure is considered medial. An area farther from the
midsagittal plane or midsagittal plane or median plane of the body or structure is
considered lateral. And an area closer to the midsagittal plane or median plane is
considered to be proximal. Within the dentition, the proximal surface would be
considered mesial.
