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






2. 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






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






4. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally

16. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






17. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






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






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






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






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






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






23. Tooth extracted






24. Relationship of the teeth in which the incisal ridges of the maxillary anterior teeth extend below the incisal edges of the mandibular anterior teeth when the teeth are placed in a centric occlusal relationship






25. Maximum interlocking of cusp

31. Individual teeth from each arch can be involved in ________________ malocclusion






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






33. Vertical overlapping






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






35. Prognathic profile






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






37. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






38. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






39. Mand. facial or lingual to max. - unitlateral or bilateral; incorrect horizontal overlap
