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. II (mal)occlusion






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






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






4. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






5. Prognathic profile






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






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






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






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






10. Buck teeth are common and are considered






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






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






13. Incisal 3rd






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






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






16. Starts around the mesial of the 1st molar






17. Starts closer to the posterior of the 1st molar






18. Introduced the concept of codestruction






19. 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






20. 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






21. Laterally






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






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






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






25. Primary teeth set ___________________ for permanent






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






27. Above occlusal plane






28. Occlusal guard =






29. Mandibular molars more distal than maxillary molars






30. Mandibular molars and maxillary molars are even






31. Later






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






33. Teeth are misaligned when biting together






34. Cervical 3rd






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






36. Mesognathic profile






37. Middle 3rd






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






39. Curve of the occlusal plane; from anterior to posterior - increases with age






40. Teeth that are in func when the mandible moves in lateral or protrusive excursions or mvmts






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






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






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






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






45. Vertical overlapping






46. Measurement of horizontal overlap w/ probe






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






48. Class III (mal)occlusion of permanent teeth






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






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