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






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






3. II (mal)occlusion






4. Vertical






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






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






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






8. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






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






10. The way you normally bite your teeth together when not chewing






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






12. Functional occlusion






13. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






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






15. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






16. Cervical 3rd






17. Selective grinding should always be completed after ______ has been controlled






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






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






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






21. 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






22. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






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






24. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






25. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






26. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






27. #10 & #23






28. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






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






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






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






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






33. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






34. Middle 3rd






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






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






37. Mand. facial or lingual to max. - unitlateral or bilateral; incorrect horizontal overlap






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






39. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






40. What is not affected by occ trauma






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






42. Retrognathic profile






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






44. Maximum touching of max and mand






45. Maximum interlocking of cusp






46. Incisal 3rd






47. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






48. Associated with performance; all contacts during function of the oral cavity






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






50. Both sides
