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






2. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






3. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






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






5. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






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






7. Any occl that produces forces that directly or indirectly cause injury to the attachment apparatus






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






9. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






10. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






12. Survival of the dentition despite its deviation from a preconceived hypothetical normal






13. Retrognathic profile






14. Buck teeth are common and are considered






15. Mesially - Labially






16. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






17. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






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






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






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






21. Occlusal guard =






22. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






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






24. 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






25. Cusps of maxillary teeth directly over cusps of mandibular teeth






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






27. 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






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






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






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






31. Functional occlusion






32. Tooth positioned more facial






33. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






34. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






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






36. Both sides






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






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






39. Vertical overlapping






40. Horizontal






41. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






42. #10 & #23






43. Retrognathic profile; buccal groove of mand 1st molar-distal to mb cusp of max 1st; distal of mand. canine distal to mesial to max caniine - tendency toward class II






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






45. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






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






47. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






48. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






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