Hi everyone

I'm reading Kaplan for the dental anatomy and occlusion sections. Can anyone please tell me if there is any difference in terms of meanings between: occlusal table, occlusal profile and crown profile?. I think occlusal profile is the same as crown profile but I'm not sure about occlusal table.

Thanks a lot in advance 🙂

occlusion table is the area of occlusion surface which involved in chewing & it is bounded by cuspal ridges & marginal ridges. about occlusion profile & crown profile i think they r same.
