For example in the phrase "物の面", how would you commonly pronounce 面? I see three possibilities: めん、つら、おも. Which one (or ones) are commonly used?
Example sentence: "人の手の指先の内側にある、多くの細い線からできている模様。また、その模様が物の面についたあと。" (指紋の定義)

Related: japanese.stackexchange.com/q/57940/5010 But what is 物の面 supposed to mean? I haven't seen such a combination before. In this case, it's difficult to determine the reading without knowing the meaning.– narutoMar 23, 2019 at 12:06

I've added an example sentence, which should make it clear.– hgieselMar 23, 2019 at 12:14

In your example, 面 is read めん because it means "surface (of a thing)".
As for when to use the other readings, see: 面 and 顔 difference?
