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. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






3. #7 - 26 - 27






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






5. 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






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






7. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






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






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






10. What is not affected by occ trauma






11. Middle 3rd






12. Buck teeth are common and are considered






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






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






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






16. The way you normally bite your teeth together when not chewing






17. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






18. Prognathic profile






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






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






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






22. Maximum interlocking of cusp






23. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






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






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






26. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






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






28. Vertical






29. Introduced the concept of codestruction






30. 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






31. Maximum touching of max and mand






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






33. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






34. 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






35. When no teeth are contacting on this side






36. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






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






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






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






40. Below occlusal plane






41. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






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






43. Incisal 3rd






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






45. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






46. Horizontal






47. Both sides






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






49. 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






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