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






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






3. Laterally






4. 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






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






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






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






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






9. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






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






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






12. Maxillary overlap mandibular; whole arch






13. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






14. 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






15. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






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






17. Prognathic profile






18. Anterior or posterior; bilateral or unitlateral - anterior more common






19. What is not affected by occ trauma






20. Middle 3rd






21. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






22. Cervical 3rd






23. II (mal)occlusion






24. Later






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






26. Growth hormone imbalance that causes the mandible to grow faster than the maxilla(all teeth are in crossbite)






27. Tooth-tooth contacts; tooth-hard objects contacts; tooth-oral tissues contact






28. Incisal 3rd






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






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






31. Functional occlusion






32. 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






33. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






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






35. Below occlusal plane






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






37. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






38. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






39. The side to which the mandible moves(chewing side)






40. Does not result from brushing at all - but from traumatic lateral forces placed on the teeth as a result of a malocclusion or abnormal tongue activity. Root surface is exposed & can become carious






41. Lateral mvmt results in contact btwn the max and mand canines






42. #7 - 26 - 27






43. 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






44. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






45. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth






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






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






48. Spaces between two teeth






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






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