What does class 2 mean for dental care?
This sounds like some sort of designation that your insurance provider uses; I'd contact them to find out.
Reply:class 2 means a type of carie (cavity). this is the surface that the decay is on.
Reply:I depends on what it is referring to. Often, it is referring to a cavity and how deep it is. However, it can also be referring to how your bite fits together. In the future, if you have a question at your dental visit, just ask! Usually you cant get us dental types to shut up about teeth.
Reply:This is a classification of the type and location of the cavity. In this case it would be on either a molar or premolar and is located on the surface that butts up against another tooth. The preparation to fill this would also involve the chewing surface.
Reply:A class 2 malocclusion is the way your teeth come together, they are referring to your bite, has nothing to do with a cavity. There are class 1, class 2 and class 3 bites. In class 2 the upper arch protrudes out more than the lower jaw. This is the meaning in orthodontics anyway.
