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






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






3. Horizontal

6. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






7. During protrusive occ - ______ is considered undesirable






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






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






10. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






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






12. 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






13. Middle 3rd






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

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






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






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






21. Mobility - migration - pain - premature contact - widening of PDL - parafuntional habits - TMJ problems - all result in _________






22. 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

27. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






28. Laterally






29. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






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






31. Vertical






32. Maxillary overlap mandibular; whole arch






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






34. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






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