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. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






2. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






3. Tooth positioned more lingual






4. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






5. Reshaping of the occ or incisal surfaces of teeth to create contacts btwn upper and lower dentition






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






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






8. Relationship of the teeth in opposite arches; static position






9. 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






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






11. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






12. Below occlusal plane






13. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






14. #7 - 26 - 27






15. Vertical overlapping






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






17. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






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






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






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






21. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






22. Laterally






23. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






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






25. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






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






27. Incisal 3rd






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






29. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






30. Both sides






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






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






33. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






34. Mesognathic profile






35. 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






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






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






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






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






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






41. Selective grinding should always be completed after ______ has been controlled






42. 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






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






44. Overlap of anterior teeth






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






46. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






47. Later






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






49. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






50. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma
