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. Malposition - crowded anterior teeth - protruded or retruded max incisors - anterior/posterior crossbite - mesial drift






2. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






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






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






6. Usually indicative of moderate to sever perio and secondary occ trauma






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






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






9. Aquired centric occlusion - habitual occlusion - convienience occlusion - or intercuspal position






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






11. Middle 3rd






12. Habitual - acquired - convenience - intercuspal & static






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






14. Mesially - Labially






15. During a left working movement - the right side is known as the






16. II (mal)occlusion






17. Below occlusal plane






18. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






19. The tooth has insufficient bone support and normal chewing and swallowing forces are excessive - causing injury to the attachment appartatus






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






21. Incisal 3rd






22. Later






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






24. Maxillary anterior teeth stick out labially from tongue thrusting






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






26. Functional occlusion






27. Any occl that produces forces that directly or indirectly cause injury to the attachment apparatus






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






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






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






31. Mandible moves to the right or left






32. Abnormal contacts; occlusal habits - and neuroses






33. Starts closer to premolars






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






35. Horizontal distance of anterior teeth in crossbite






36. Tooth extracted






37. Mobility - migration - pain - premature contact - widening of PDL - parafuntional habits - TMJ problems - all result in _________






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






39. Spaces between two teeth






40. #10 & #23






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






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






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






44. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






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






46. 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






47. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






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






49. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






50. Tooth positioned more facial
