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. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






3. Below occlusal plane






4. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






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






6. Later






7. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






8. 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






9. What is not affected by occ trauma






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






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






12. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






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






14. High restoration - parafunctional habits - malpositioned tooth - periapical abcess - physical 'blow' - removable partial - ortho mvmt






15. Occlusal guard =






16. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






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






18. Tooth positioned more facial






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






20. Mandible moves to the right or left






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






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






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






24. Retrognathic profile






25. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






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






27. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






28. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






30. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






31. Incisal 3rd






32. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






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






34. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






35. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






36. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






37. Relationship of the teeth in which the incisal ridges of the maxillary anterior teeth extend below the incisal edges of the mandibular anterior teeth when the teeth are placed in a centric occlusal relationship






38. Cervical 3rd






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






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






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






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






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






44. When no teeth are contacting on this side






45. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






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






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






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






49. Maximum touching of max and mand






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