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






2. Retrognathic profile






3. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






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






6. Laterally






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






8. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






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






10. Can be caused by forces of malocclusion - teeth can become loose - periodontal disease may develop(alveolar bone loss)






11. Cervical 3rd






12. Reshaping of the occ or incisal surfaces of teeth to create contacts btwn upper and lower dentition






13. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






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






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






16. Horizontal






17. Permits healing of the attachment apparatus by holding a tooth in a totally fixed position; allows the PDL to become narrower and the mobility to be reduced






18. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






19. #10 & #23






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






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






22. 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






23. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






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






25. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






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






27. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






28. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






29. Vertical






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






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






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






33. Curve spee & wilson - 3-d - not proven






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






35. If the mandible moves to the left - the mvmt is known as a left working movement






36. Buck teeth are common and are considered






37. Spaces between two teeth






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






39. Middle 3rd






40. Above occlusal plane






41. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






42. Overclosure of the anterior teeth can cause trauma to the gingiva of the max teeth






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






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






45. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






46. 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






47. 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






48. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






49. Below occlusal plane






50. When the jaws are closed - the buccal cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth are interlocked between the buccal & lingual cusps of the maxillary teeth
