| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Maxillary Functional Cusp | Lingual |
| Mandibular Functional Cusp | Buccal |
| Definition of a Functional Cusp | Cusp that lands in a functional fossa |
| What % of the population has ideal Cusp-Fossa relationships? What type of relationship does most of the population have? | 5%, Rest are cusp-marginal ridge |
| 2 Reasons that Cusp-Fossa is ideal | 1) Occlusal forces are near the center of the tooth 2) Less food impaction |
| What are the two other names for the Functional cusp? | 1. Working 2. Supporting |
| What is the other name for the non-Functional cusp? | Guiding cusp |
| What does FOA stand for? | Functional Outer Aspect |
| What is the FOA? | The outer 1-2 mm of the supporting cusp that makes contact with the guiding inclines of the guiding cusps of the opposing teeth when in occlusion |
| Where are the FOA contacts - A, B, and/or C? | A and C |
| What is doing the work in a cusp-fossa relationship, the tip or the ridges? | Cusp Ridges! |
| What is disclusion? | The prevention of contact on either working or non-working sides during excursive movement |
