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. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






2. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






3. Symptom free dentition that 'survives' or 'adapts' to a deviated occl






4. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






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






6. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






7. Maxillary-between canines and laterals - mandibular-between canines and 1st molars






8. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






9. Tooth extracted






10. II (mal)occlusion






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. Maximum touching of max and mand






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






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






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






16. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






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






18. When no teeth are contacting on this side






19. Injury to the attachment apparatus (bone - PDL - and cementum) as a consequence of normal or excessive occ forces






20. Relationship of the teeth in opposite arches; static position






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






22. Curved alignment of the occlusal plane when looking from a lateral view(distal to mesial)






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






24. Contact between maxillary incisors does not line up with contact of mandibular incisors






25. Incisal 3rd






26. Malposition - crowded anterior teeth - protruded or retruded max incisors - anterior/posterior crossbite - mesial drift






27. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






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






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






30. The permanent molars erupt posterior to the primary teeth and push them all mesially






31. 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






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






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






34. Mandibular molars more mesial than maxillary molars (most children)






35. Occlusal guard =






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






37. Maxillary overlap mandibular; whole arch






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






39. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






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






41. Starts closer to premolars






42. Introduced the concept of codestruction






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






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






45. Mb cusp of max 1st molar-buccal groove of mand 1st molar






46. Functional occlusion






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






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






49. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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