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. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






3. Both sides






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






5. Tooth-tooth contacts; tooth-hard objects contacts; tooth-oral tissues contact






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






7. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






8. Mesially - Labially






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






10. Middle 3rd






11. Laterally






12. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






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






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






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






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






17. Introduced the concept of codestruction






18. 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






19. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






20. #7 - 26 - 27






21. What is not affected by occ trauma






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






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






24. Permits healing of the attachment apparatus by holding a tooth in a totally fixed position; allows the PDL to become narrower and the mobility to be reduced






25. Curve of the occlusal plane; from anterior to posterior - increases with age






26. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






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






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






29. Tooth positioned more lingual






30. Position of the mandible relative to the maxilla during swallowing and other times when the jaw muscles contract






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






32. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






33. Maximum touching of max and mand






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






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






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






37. Occlusal guard =






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






39. Spaces between two teeth






40. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






41. Need tooth to tooth contact on both working and non working sides to func effectively






42. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






43. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






44. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






45. When the jaws are closed - the buccal cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth are interlocked between the buccal & lingual cusps of the maxillary teeth






46. 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






47. During protrusive occ - ______ is considered undesirable






48. Retrognathic profile






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






50. Starts closer to premolars
