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. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






2. Vibrational mvmt of a tooth under occ function






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






4. What is not affected by occ trauma






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






6. Injury to the attachment apparatus (bone - PDL - and cementum) as a consequence of normal or excessive occ forces






7. Maximum interlocking of cusp






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






9. Difference between primary and secondary occ trauma






10. Cusps of maxillary teeth directly over cusps of mandibular teeth






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






12. Functional occlusion






13. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






14. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. Both sides






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






25. Because the permanent premolars are narrower than the primary molars that they replace - this is what happens when the premolars erupt






26. Laterally






27. Buck teeth are common and are considered






28. Mesially - Labially






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






30. Curved alignment of the occlusal plane when looking from a lateral view(distal to mesial)






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






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. The permanent molars erupt posterior to the primary teeth and push them all mesially






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






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






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






37. Later






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






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






40. Tooth positioned more lingual






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






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






43. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






44. Mandible moves to the right or left






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






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






47. Excessive occ force with adequate bone support =






48. After periodontal sugery - mobility will ________






49. Guidance for protrusive occ should be on the






50. Lateral mvmt results in contacct of all posterior teeth
