| curve of Wilson |
Because the long axes of the mandibular molars and premolars converge towards the midline, the occlusal surfaces of these teeth bilaterally form a curve in a buccolingual direction. This imaginary curve as defined by a line tangent to the buccal and lingual cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth bilaterally, is termed the curve of Wilson.
