Dentistry Occlusion

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Mand. retruded-one or more max. incisors retruded; max. laterals protruded-max centrals retruded; crowded max anterior teeth; deep overbite






2. Any deviation from the ideal or normal occl. includes crowding - malpositioned or tipped teeth






3. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






4. Usually indicative of moderate to sever perio and secondary occ trauma






5. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






6. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






7. Normal contacts between max. and mand. teeth; momentary contacts






8. Prognathic profile; buccal groove of mand. 1st molar-mesial to mb cusp of max. 1st molar; distal of mand. canine mesial to mesial of max canine; tendency toward class III






9. Mvmt of the mandible in a direction anterior to centric occ






10. Congenitally missing teeth - Impacted teeth & size and shape of muscle and bone






11. What is not affected by occ trauma






12. Mand. facial or lingual to max. - unitlateral or bilateral; incorrect horizontal overlap






13. Mesially - Labially






14. Occlusal forces will accelerate the rate of perio destruction and result in CT attachment loss in the presence of preexisting inflammation






15. Max. incisors lingual to mand. incisors; incorrect horizontal overlap






16. Maximal intercuspation or contact of the max and mand teeth






17. High restoration - parafunctional habits - malpositioned tooth - periapical abcess - physical 'blow' - removable partial - ortho mvmt






18. Selective grinding should always be completed after ______ has been controlled






19. Retrognathic profile -buccal groove of mand. 1st molar-distal to mb cusp of 1st max.molar -distal of mand canine distal to mesial of max canine - tendency towards class II






20. Starts closer to the posterior of the 1st molar






21. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






22. Patient forces teeth together in centric occlusion on one side to get a more functional bite and has a crossbite on the other side(the midline of the maxillary anterior teeth does not line up with the midlineof the mandible






23. Below occlusal plane






24. Both sides






25. When one tooth hits before all others when closing teeth together(may cause TMJ problems)






26. Does not result from brushing at all - but from traumatic lateral forces placed on the teeth as a result of a malocclusion or abnormal tongue activity. Root surface is exposed & can become carious






27. Maxillary incisors are are lingual to mandibular incisors






28. Patients show evidence or signs and syptoms of occ disease






29. Hereditary - Tongue - Intercuspation of teeth - Alignment of previously erupted teeth affects alignment of successive teeth






30. Muscles that work the jaw; may become sore due to occ trauma






31. Spaces between two teeth






32. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






33. Anterior crossbite; max/mand incisors-edge to edge occlusion; crowded mand. incisors






34. Lateral mvmt results in contact btwn the max and mand canines






35. Later






36. Anterior or posterior; bilateral or unitlateral - anterior more common






37. Associated with performance; all contacts during function of the oral cavity






38. Can affect the TMJ - muscles of mastication - pulp and integrity of restorations






39. A continuation of the spee of to extend through the condyle






40. Curved alignment of the occlusal plane when looking from a posterior view(right to left)






41. Maximum touching of max and mand






42. During selective grinding - occlusion should be adjusted In what four relationships






43. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






44. Can be caused by forces of malocclusion - teeth can become loose - periodontal disease may develop(alveolar bone loss)






45. Middle 3rd






46. Individual teeth from each arch can be involved in ________________ malocclusion






47. Excessive deposition of cementum around the apex - due to excessive occlusal forces






48. Laterally






49. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






50. Relationship of teeth in which the incisal ridges or buccal cusp ridges of the maxillary anterior teeth extend facially to the incisal ridges/cusps of the mandibular teeth when the teeth are in centric occlusion relationship
