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






2. Functional occlusion






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






4. Tooth positioned more lingual






5. Mandible moves to the right or left






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Congenitally missing teeth - Impacted teeth & size and shape of muscle and bone






13. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






14. #7 - 26 - 27






15. 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






16. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






17. Spaces between two teeth






18. Laterally






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






20. Starts closer to premolars






21. 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






22. Relationship of teeth in which the incisal ridges or buccal cusp ridges of the maxillary anterior teeth extend facially to the incisal ridges/cusps of the mandibular teeth when the teeth are in centric occlusion relationship






23. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






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






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






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






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






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






29. Cusps of maxillary teeth directly over cusps of mandibular teeth






30. Growth hormone imbalance that causes the mandible to grow faster than the maxilla(all teeth are in crossbite)






31. Mesognathic profile






32. Occlusal guard =






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






34. Lateral mvmt results in contact btwn the max and mand canines






35. Below occlusal plane






36. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






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






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






39. Retrognathic profile






40. Any occl that produces forces that directly or indirectly cause injury to the attachment apparatus






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






42. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






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






44. 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






45. Maxillary incisors are are lingual to mandibular incisors






46. During protrusive occ - ______ is considered undesirable






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






48. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






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






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