occlusal table means the area bounded by the cusp ridges and marginal ridges
In primary teeth, the ideal occlusal scheme is
Mesial Occlusal
"Occlusal" refers to the biting surface of teeth, while "contact point" refers to the area where adjacent teeth touch each other. Occlusal contact points are the specific spots where teeth come into contact during biting and chewing.
This is the Occlusal surface

marginal ridges
marginal ridges
marginal ridges
A central fossa is formed in the occlusal surface when multiple cusps join together. This fossa provides a central depression where food can accumulate during chewing and aids in guiding the movement of the mandible during occlusion.
There are three types of impressions: 1)Preliminary, 2)Occlusal, and 3)Final. The preliminary is the first impression you would take, the occlusal is one to check the bite, and a final would be more detailed. :)
While with traditional orthodontic treatment, canted occlusal planes can be problematic, the use of new mini-screws has changed this. Inserting a small mini-screw into the maxilla allows controlled intrusion and extrusion of teeth in order to level a canted occlusal plane. http://www.orthodonticproductsonline.com/issues/articles/2006-02_12.asp
