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. Starts closer to premolars






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






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






4. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






5. Vertical overlapping






6. Occlusal forces will accelerate the rate of perio destruction and result in CT attachment loss in the presence of preexisting inflammation






7. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






8. Later






9. Curved alignment of the occlusal plane when looking from a posterior view(right to left)






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






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






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






13. Cervical 3rd






14. Horizontal






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






16. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






17. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






18. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






19. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






20. Mesognathic profile






21. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. Spaces between two teeth






29. The patient is constantly tightening the lower lip against the lower anterior teeth causing the the mandibular teeth to be pushed back into the mouth by this overdeveloped lower lip






30. 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






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






32. Laterally






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






34. Below occlusal plane






35. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






36. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






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






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






39. Prognathic profile; buccal groove of mand. 1st molar-mesial to mb cusp of max. 1st molar; distal of mand. canine mesial to mesial of max canine; tendency toward class III






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






41. Vertical






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






43. 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






44. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






46. 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
