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. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






2. Injury to the attachment apparatus (bone - PDL - and cementum) as a consequence of normal or excessive occ forces






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






4. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






5. Incisal 3rd






6. #7 - 26 - 27






7. Starts closer to premolars






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






9. Mesognathic profile






10. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






11. Later






12. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






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






14. The relationship of the teeth in the mandibular arch to those in the maxillary arch as they are brought together






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. When the jaws are closed - the buccal cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth are interlocked between the buccal & lingual cusps of the maxillary teeth






17. A tooth that occludes with an opposing tooth before full closure is achieved in centric occlusion






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






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






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






21. Spaces between two teeth






22. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






23. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






24. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






25. Mvmt of the mandible in a direction anterior to centric occ






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






27. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






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






30. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






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






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






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






34. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






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






36. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






37. Need tooth to tooth contact on both working and non working sides to func effectively






38. Mesially - Labially






39. Patients show evidence or signs and syptoms of occ disease






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






41. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






42. Buck teeth are common and are considered






43. Tooth extracted






44. 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






45. II (mal)occlusion






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






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






48. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






49. Occlusal guard =






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