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.

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






15. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






16. Growth hormone imbalance that causes the mandible to grow faster than the maxilla(all teeth are in crossbite)






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






18. Horizontal






19. Any occl that produces forces that directly or indirectly cause injury to the attachment apparatus






20. Spaces between two teeth






21. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






22. Overlap of anterior teeth






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






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






25. Below occlusal plane






26. Teeth that are in func when the mandible moves in lateral or protrusive excursions or mvmts






27. Survival of the dentition despite its deviation from a preconceived hypothetical normal






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






29. Because the permanent premolars are narrower than the primary molars that they replace - this is what happens when the premolars erupt






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






31. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth

36. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






37. Anterior teeth do not occlude - or remain open - while posterior teeth may have a normal occlusion






38. The tooth has insufficient bone support and normal chewing and swallowing forces are excessive - causing injury to the attachment appartatus
