Restoration of an appropriate proximal contact results in all of the following except _____.
Proper proximal contacts reduce the potential for food impaction, thereby preserving the health of the underlying soft tissue. A missing proximal contact may result in tooth movement that will have an adverse effect on the occlusal relationship of the tooth. Having a correct contact does not enhance the retentive properties of the restorative material.
Reduction/elimination of food impaction at the interdental papilla.
Provide appropriate space for the interdental papilla.
Provide increased retention form for the restoration.
Maintenance of the proper occlusal relationship.
