curve of Wilson; tranverse occlusal curve; mediolateral curve | courbe de Wilson |  |
| a lateral curve of the occlusal table formed by the lingual inclination of the posterior teeth. Because the lingual cusps are lower than the buccal cusps, they form a curve with their antimeres; by-product term of the thinking that supported the theory that occlusion should be spherical. The curve in the lower arch is concave, whereas the one in the upper arch is convex. | |||
