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. Mandible moves to the right or left






2. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






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






4. Buck teeth are common and are considered






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






6. Permits healing of the attachment apparatus by holding a tooth in a totally fixed position; allows the PDL to become narrower and the mobility to be reduced






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






8. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






9. 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






10. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






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






12. Mesially - Labially






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






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






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






16. Vertical






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






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






19. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






20. Vertical overlapping






21. Horizontal






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






23. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






24. II (mal)occlusion






25. 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






26. Tooth extracted






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






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






29. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






30. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






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






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






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






34. When no teeth are contacting on this side






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






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






37. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






38. Malocclusion cause excessive incisal or occlusal wear(attrition); teeth continue to erupt in order to occlude with teeth in the opposite arch & roots become exposed






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






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






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






42. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






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






44. Severe ging inflammation extending into CT attachment - loss of supporting alveolar bone - pregnancy - ortho mvmt - and surgical therapy - may all cause ______






45. Starts closer to premolars






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






47. Curve of the occlusal plane; from anterior to posterior - increases with age






48. Retrognathic profile -buccal groove of mand. 1st molar-distal to mb cusp of 1st max.molar -distal of mand canine distal to mesial of max canine - tendency towards class II






49. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






50. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma
