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.

16. Retrognathic profile






17. Anterior; no horizontal overlap






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






19. Congenitally missing teeth - Impacted teeth & size and shape of muscle and bone






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

32. Rotated or twisted; rotated mesial or distal






33. Excessive deposition of cementum around the apex - due to excessive occlusal forces






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






35. Patient forces teeth together in centric occlusion on one side to get a more functional bite and has a crossbite on the other side(the midline of the maxillary anterior teeth does not line up with the midlineof the mandible
