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. Prognathic profile






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






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






4. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






5. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






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






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






8. Tooth extracted






9. Starts closer to premolars






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






11. 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






12. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






13. Above occlusal plane






14. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






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






16. 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






17. II (mal)occlusion






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






19. Starts closer to the posterior of the 1st molar






20. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






21. Radiographically - the PDL space is wider at the coronal third of the root






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






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






24. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






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






26. Overlap of anterior teeth






27. Spaces between two teeth






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






29. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






30. During protrusive occ - ______ is considered undesirable






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






32. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






33. When no teeth are contacting on this side






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






35. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






36. Deciduous molars and canines are wider than permanent premolars and canines; space saved during mesial drift of permanent molars






37. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






38. Laterally






39. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






40. Prognathic profile; buccal groove of mand. 1st molar-mesial to mb cusp of max. 1st molar; distal of mand. canine mesial to mesial of max canine; tendency toward class III






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






42. Cervical 3rd






43. Both sides






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






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






46. Mb cusp of max 1st molar-buccal groove of mand 1st molar






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






48. Tooth positioned more facial






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






50. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the
