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. #7 - 26 - 27






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






3. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






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






5. Below occlusal plane






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






7. Incisal 3rd






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






9. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






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






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






12. 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






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






14. Functional occlusion






15. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






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






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






18. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






19. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






20. Vertical overlapping






21. Cervical 3rd






22. When one tooth hits before all others when closing teeth together(may cause TMJ problems)






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






24. Mesially - Labially






25. Overlap of anterior teeth






26. Max. incisors lingual to mand. incisors; incorrect horizontal overlap






27. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






28. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






29. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






30. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






31. Maxillary-between canines and laterals - mandibular-between canines and 1st molars






32. Buck teeth are common and are considered






33. 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






34. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






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






36. Relationship of the arches bone to bone;






37. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






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






39. Above occlusal plane






40. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






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






42. Maxillary incisors are are lingual to mandibular incisors






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






44. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






45. Maximum interlocking of cusp






46. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






47. Can affect the TMJ - muscles of mastication - pulp and integrity of restorations






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






49. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






50. 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
