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






2. Mandible moves to the right or left






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






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






5. 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






6. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






7. During a left working movement - the right side is known as the






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






9. Middle 3rd






10. If the mandible moves to the left - the mvmt is known as a left working movement






11. 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






12. Mesially - Labially






13. Later






14. Widening of the PDL in areas under pressure results due to






15. Vertical overlapping






16. Both sides






17. Functional occlusion






18. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






19. Cusps of maxillary teeth directly over cusps of mandibular teeth






20. Overlap of anterior teeth






21. Above occlusal plane






22. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






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






24. The patient is constantly tightening the lower lip against the lower anterior teeth causing the the mandibular teeth to be pushed back into the mouth by this overdeveloped lower lip






25. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






26. Aquired centric occlusion - habitual occlusion - convienience occlusion - or intercuspal position






27. Maxillary incisors are are lingual to mandibular incisors






28. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






29. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






30. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






31. 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






32. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






33. II (mal)occlusion






34. Cervical 3rd






35. Laterally






36. Overclosure of the anterior teeth can cause trauma to the gingiva of the max teeth






37. Curve spee & wilson - 3-d - not proven






38. Most retruded position of the mandible in relation to the maxilla From which lateral mvmts of the jaw can be made






39. Tooth positioned more lingual






40. Spaces between two teeth






41. Prognathic profile






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






43. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






44. 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






45. Transverse occlusal curvature; posterior teeth; medio-lateral postion (r-l)






46. Horizontal






47. The side to which the mandible moves(chewing side)






48. Slight buccal inclination of crown - lingual inclination of root






49. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






50. Teeth are misaligned when biting together
