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






2. Mesially - Labially






3. 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






4. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






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






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






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






8. Muscles that work the jaw; may become sore due to occ trauma






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






10. Mandibular molars more mesial than maxillary molars (most children)






11. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






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






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






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






15. Spaces between two teeth






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






17. Anterior or posterior; bilateral or unitlateral - anterior more common






18. 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






19. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






20. Aquired centric occlusion - habitual occlusion - convienience occlusion - or intercuspal position






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






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






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






24. Functional occlusion






25. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






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






27. Mandible moves to the right or left






28. During protrusive occ - ______ is considered undesirable






29. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






30. Later






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






32. Maximum interlocking of cusp






33. Most common cause is when the maxilla does not grow in proportion to the mandible






34. #7 - 26 - 27






35. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






36. Most retruded position of the mandible in relation to the maxilla From which lateral mvmts of the jaw can be made






37. Tooth positioned more lingual






38. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






39. Transverse occlusal curvature; posterior teeth; medio-lateral postion (r-l)






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






41. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






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






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






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






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






46. II (mal)occlusion






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






48. Incisal 3rd






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






50. Buck teeth are common and are considered
