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






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

4. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






6. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






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

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






10. Middle 3rd






11. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






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






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






14. Maximum touching of max and mand






15. Vertical overlapping






16. Occlusal guard =






17. Anterior; no horizontal overlap

20. Introduced the concept of codestruction






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






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






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






24. 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
