What type of material is used to take a patient's bite?

Impression material
Bite registration material
Dental cement
Plaster

The correct answer is: Bite registration material

It may be tempting to choose AImpression material as this is commonly used in dental procedures, however, impression material is used to create a mold and does not specifically record the patient's bite. Option C: Dental cement and Option D: Plaster are also not the correct choices as they are used for purposes such as filling cavities or creating dental casts, respectively. Option B: Bite registration material is the primary material used to record a patient's bite. This material is typically a soft and pliable substance that is placed between the patient's upper and lower teeth to create an accurate bite record. Overall, it is important to keep in mind the specific purpose and function of each type of material in order to choose the correct answer.
