Fig. 104. Photograph of a split upper first molar with an occlusal decay of ordinary form.
Note a small beginning of decay of enamel in the distal surface, and a decay beginning in the cemen-
turn. This latter is characteristic of decays which occur because of crowding of food into the inter-
proximal space, with resulting absorption of the interproximal gum tissue.
