Charting and Insuran
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Angle's classification | System developed by Dr. Edward H. ANGLE to describe and classify occlusion and malocclusion. |
| Anterior | Toward the FRONT |
| Apical third | Division of the root nearest the tip of the root |
| Buccal Surface | Tooth surface closest to the inner cheek |
| Buccolingual division | Lengthwise division of the crown in a labial or BUCCALINGUAL direction, consisting of the facial or buccal/labial third, middle third , and lingual third. |
| Centric occlusion | Maximum contact between the occluding surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth |
| Concave | Curved INWARD |
| Curve of Spee | CURVATURE formed by the maxillary and mandibular arches in occlusion |
| Curve of Wilson | Cross-arch curvature of occlusal plane |
| Convex | Curved OUTWARD |
| Contact area | Area of the MESIAL or DISTAL surface of a tooth that TOUCHES the adjacent tooth in the same arch. |
| Deciduous | Pertaining to first dentition of 20 teeth, often called "BABY TEETH" or primary teeth |
| Dentition | NATURAL teeth in the dental arch |
| Distal surface | Surface of tooth DISTANT from the midline |
| Distoclusion | A class II malocclusion in which the mesibuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar occludes (by more than the width of a premolar) mesial to the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular first molar. |
| Embrasure | TRIANGULAR space in a gingival direction between the proximal surfaces of two adjoining teeth in contact |
| Facial surface | Tooth surface closest to the face. Facial surfaces closest to the lips are called labial surfaces, and facial surfaces clostest to the inner cheek are called buccal surfaces; therefore, the term facial can be substituted for labial and buccal andVICEVERSA |
| Functional occlusion | Contact of the teeth during BITING and CHEWING movements |
| Incisal surface | CHEWING SURFACE of ANTERIOR teeth |
| Interproximal space | The AREA BETWEEN adjacent tooth surfaces |
| Labial surface | Facial surface CLOSEST TO THE LIPS |
| Labioversion | The inclination of the teeth that extent facially beyond the normal OVERLAP of the incisal edge of the maxillary incisors over the mandibular incisors. |
| Line angle | JUNCTION of two walls in a cavity preparation |
| Lingual surface | SURFACE of mandibular and maxillary teeth closest to the tongue; also called PALATAL SURFACE |
| Linguoversion | Position in which the maxillary incisors are behind the mandubular incisors |
| Maloccusion | OCCLUSION that is DEVIATED from a class I normal occlusion |
| Mandibular arch | The LOWER JAW |
| Masticatory surface | The CHEWING SURFACE of the teeth |
| Maxillary arch | UPPER JAW |
| Mesial Surface | Surface of the tooth toward the MIDLINE |
| Mesioclusion | Term used for CLASS III malocclusion |
| Mesiodistal division | Lengthwise division of the crown in a MESIODISTAL (FRONT-TO-BACK) direction, consisting of the mesial third, middle third, and distal third |
| Middle third | Division of the root in the MIDDLE |
| Mixed dentition | A MIXTURE of permanent teeth and primary teeth that occurs until all primary teeth have been lost, usually between the ages of 6 AND 12 |
| Neutroclusion | An ideal mesiodistal relationship between the JAWS and the dental ARCHES |
| Occlusal surface | CHEWING SURFACE of POSTERIOR teeth |
| Occlusion | The natural contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in all positions |
| Occlusocervical division | CROSSWISE division of the crown that is parallel to the occlusal or incisal surface; consisting of the occlusal third, middle third, and cervical third |
| Palatal Surface | LINGUAL surface of MAXILLARY teeth |
| Point angle | ANGLE formed by the junction of THREE SURFACES |
| Posterior | TOWARD the BACK |
| Primary dentition | The first set of 20 PRIMARY teeth |
| Proximal surfaces | The surfaces NEXT TO EACH OTHER when teeth are adjacent in the arch |
| Quadrant | One QUARTER of the dentition |
| Sextant | One SIXTH of the dentition |
| Succedaneous | Permanent teeth that REPLACE primary teeth |
| Bicanineate | A TWO-CUSP type of mandubular second premolar |
| Bifurcated | Divided in TWO |
| Bifurcation | Arean in which TWO ROOTS divide |
| Canine eminence | External VERTICAL BONY RIDGE on the libial surface of the CANINES |
| Central groove | Most prominent developmental GROOVE on the POSTERIOR TEETH |
| Cingulum | RAISED, ROUNDED area on the cervical third of the lingual surface |
| Cusp | Major elevation on the MASTICATORY surfaces of canines and posterior teeth |
| Cusp of Carabelli | The FIFTH supplemental CUSP found lingual to the mesiolingual cusp |
| Diastema | A space between two teeth |
| Fossa | WIDE, shallow depression on the lingual surfaces of anterior teeth |
| Furcation | Area between TWO OR MORE ROOT branches |
| Imbrincation | SLIGHT RIDGES that run mesiodistally in the cervical third of the teeth |
| Incisal edge | RIDGE on permanent incisors that appears flattened on labial, lingual, or INCISAL view after tooth eruption |
| Inclined cuspal planes | SLOPING AREAS between the cusp ridges |
| Mamelon | ROUNDED ENAMEL extension on the incisal ridges of incisors |
| Marginal groove | A developmental groove that CROSSES a marginal ridge and serves as a SPILLWAY, allowing food to escape during masticaion |
| Marginal ridge | ROUNDED, RAISED border on teh mesial and distal portions of the lingual surfaces of anterior teeth and the occlusal table of posterior teeth |
| Molars | Teeth located in the posterior aspect of the upper and lower jaws |
| Morphology | STUDY of form and shape, as of the teeth |
| Nonsuccedaneous | Pertaining to a permanent tooth that DOES NOT REPLACE a primary tooth |
| Pegged laterals | Incisors with a POINTED or TAPERED shape |
| Trianglers grooves | A developmental groove that separates a marginal ridge from the TRIANGULAR RIDGE OF A CUSP |
| Tricanineate | A THREE-CUSP type of mandibular second premolar |
| Trifurcated | DIVIDED INTO THREE |
| Trifurcation | Are in which THREE ROOTS DIVIDE |
| Detection | Act or process of discovering tooth IMPERFECTIONS of decay |
