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. Incisal 3rd






2. Maxillary - Mandibular - Facial






3. Cervical 3rd






4. Maximum touching of max and mand

17. Buck teeth are common and are considered






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






19. Later






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