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. II (mal)occlusion






2. Because the permanent premolars are narrower than the primary molars that they replace - this is what happens when the premolars erupt






3. During protrusive occ - ______ is considered undesirable






4. Any deviation from the ideal or normal occl. includes crowding - malpositioned or tipped teeth






5. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






6. Buck teeth are common and are considered






7. Tooth positioned more lingual






8. Maxillary incisors are are lingual to mandibular incisors






9. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






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






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






12. Below occlusal plane






13. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






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






15. Cervical 3rd






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






17. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






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






19. Retrognathic profile






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






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






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






23. Anterior or posterior; bilateral or unitlateral - anterior more common






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






25. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






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






27. Starts closer to premolars






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






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






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






31. Above occlusal plane






32. 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






33. Prognathic profile






34. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






35. Vertical






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






37. #7 - 26 - 27






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






39. 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






40. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






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






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






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






44. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






45. Mandibular molars more mesial than maxillary molars (most children)






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






47. Middle 3rd






48. Tooth positioned more facial






49. Mesially - Labially






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