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






2. Buck teeth are common and are considered






3. Need tooth to tooth contact on both working and non working sides to func effectively






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






5. 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






6. When no teeth are contacting on this side






7. Below occlusal plane






8. Most common cause is when the maxilla does not grow in proportion to the mandible






9. 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






10. Contact between maxillary incisors does not line up with contact of mandibular incisors






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






12. Posterior; no horizontal overlap






13. Transverse occlusal curvature; posterior teeth; medio-lateral postion (r-l)






14. Laterally






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






16. ____ is not a sign of occl trauma






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






18. Mandible moves to the right or left






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






20. #10 & #23






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






22. Crowns tipped lingually - roots tipped laterally






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






24. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






25. Horizontal






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






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






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






29. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






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






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






32. Tongue thrusting; thumb sucking - pacifiers






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






34. Overlap of anterior teeth






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






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






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






38. Tongue thrust or thumb sucking can cause






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






40. 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






41. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






43. 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






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






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






46. Mesognathic profile






47. 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






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






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






50. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial
