In thfe molars thecontact-points, as a rule, are removed rather more to thelingual, but still in the best-formed dentures they will be foundnearly in line with the buccal cusps (Fig. 132, c). Betweenthe upper first and second molars the contact-point is oftenextended toward the lingual by the prominent disto-lingualcusp of the first molar; and, even when otherwise, the generalrounding of the distal surfaces of the upper molars often i--i---:-. ...v ma
