Bite are called the relationship between the upper dental arc, a.rchus dentalis superior, and the lower dental arc arcus dentalis inferior, with the densest joining, occlusio. teeth. In this case the teeth of one jaw come into contact with the similar teeth of another jaw; each tooth of upper jaw comes into contact also with the tooth, located laterally from the similar tooth of another jaw: however, according to the relation to the teeth of lower jaw, vice versa each tooth touches the tooth, located medially from the similar. The similar contiguous teeth are called by main antagonists, and the partially contiguous opposite - by side-line antagonists. Lower medial cutters and upper teeth of wisdom do not have side-line antagonists. Upper cutters with the joining of teeth, as a rule, come out above the lower cutters, partially covering them.
