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. Cusps of maxillary teeth directly over cusps of mandibular teeth






2. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






3. Starts closer to premolars






4. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






5. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






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






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






8. Maxillary overlap mandibular; whole arch






9. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






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






11. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






12. Vertical overlapping






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






14. What is not affected by occ trauma






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






16. A continuation of the spee of to extend through the condyle






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






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






19. 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






20. #7 - 26 - 27






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






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






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






24. Mesognathic profile






25. Buck teeth are common and are considered






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






27. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






28. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






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






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






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






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






33. 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






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






35. II (mal)occlusion






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






37. Most common cause is when the maxilla does not grow in proportion to the mandible






38. Prognathic profile






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






40. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






41. Overlap of anterior teeth






42. Mand. facial or lingual to max. - unitlateral or bilateral; incorrect horizontal overlap






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






44. 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






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






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






47. Incisal 3rd






48. #10 & #23






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






50. Retrognathic profile
