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






2. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






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






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






5. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






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






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






8. Vertical overlapping






9. Reshaping of the occ or incisal surfaces of teeth to create contacts btwn upper and lower dentition






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






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






12. Most common cause is when the maxilla does not grow in proportion to the mandible






13. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






14. Maximum touching of max and mand






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






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






17. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






18. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






19. Spaces between two teeth






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






21. Buck teeth are common and are considered






22. Occlusal guard =






23. Mand. retruded-max. incisors protruded; deep overbite; excessive overjet - abnormal muscle function - short mandible - short upper lip






24. Cervical 3rd






25. Retrognathic profile; buccal groove of mand 1st molar-distal to mb cusp of max 1st; distal of mand. canine distal to mesial to max caniine - tendency toward class II






26. 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






27. Mesognathic profile






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






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






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






31. Above occlusal plane






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






33. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






34. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






35. 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






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






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






38. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






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






40. Mandible moves to the right or left






41. Functional occlusion






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






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






44. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






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






46. Introduced the concept of codestruction






47. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






48. Severe ging inflammation extending into CT attachment - loss of supporting alveolar bone - pregnancy - ortho mvmt - and surgical therapy - may all cause ______






49. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






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