the proximal surface of a tooth facing away from the midline is called?
mesial
distant
distal
incisal

Explanation:

• Mesial: Refers to the surface of a tooth facing towards the midline, so this is incorrect.
• Distal: Correctly describes the proximal surface of a tooth facing away from the midline.
• Distant: Not a standard dental term for tooth surfaces.
• Incisal: Refers to the biting edge of anterior teeth, not a proximal surface related to midline direction.

Answer:

C. Distal
