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.

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. The relationship of the teeth in the mandibular arch to those in the maxillary arch as they are brought together






2. Overlap of anterior teeth






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






4. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






5. 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






6. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






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






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






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






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






11. Mandible moves to the right or left






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






13. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






14. II (mal)occlusion






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






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






17. Tooth positioned more facial






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






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






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






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






22. Cervical 3rd






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






24. A tooth that occludes with an opposing tooth before full closure is achieved in centric occlusion






25. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






26. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






27. Max canine occludes with mand. canine and mand. 1st premolar.






28. Later






29. Spaces between two teeth






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






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






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






33. Mand. retruded-one or more max. incisors retruded; max. laterals protruded-max centrals retruded; crowded max anterior teeth; deep overbite






34. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






35. When no teeth are contacting on this side






36. Both sides






37. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






38. Maxillary overlap mandibular; whole arch






39. 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






40. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






41. 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






42. Maximum interlocking of cusp






43. Tooth extracted






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






45. If the mandible moves to the left - the mvmt is known as a left working movement






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






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






48. Mesognathic profile






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






50. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal
