Occlusion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| relationship of the mandibular teeth to those of the maxillary when brought together | occlusion |
| maximum contact of the teeth, habitual occlusion | centric occlusion |
| Position of the mandible relative to the maxilla, determined by maximum contraction of the muscles of the jaw | centric relation |
| lateral view, buccal cusp tips of posterior teeth conform to an even curve in an anterior to posterior direction | curve of spee |
| posterior view, occlusal curve exits for posterior teeth in a right to left direction | curve of wilson |
| all teeth in maxillary arch are in contact with teeth from mandibular arch, maxillary teeth slightly overlap mandibular teeth | ideal occlusion |
| straight or flat profile | mesognathic |
| maxilla is more prominent than mandible, mandible is posterior to normal relationship | retrognathic |
| mandible is prominent and protruded | prognathic |
| any deviation from normal occlusion | malocclusion |
| posterior--teeth are either facial or lingual of their normal position | crossbite |
| anterior-- max incisors are lingual to mand incisors | crossbite |
| incisal surfaces of max teeth occlude with incisal surfaces of mand teeth | edge to edge (anterior) |
| molars and premolars occlude cusp to cusp as viewed mesiodistally | end to end (posterior) |
| lack of incisal or occlusal contact between opposing teeth | openbite |
| represents the horizontal distance between opposing surfaces of incisors | OVERjet |
| max teeth are lingual to mand teeth | UNDERjet |
| when max teeth cover more than just incisal third of mand teeth | overbite |
| tooth is labial to normal | labioversion |
| tooth is lingual to normal | linguoversion |
| tooth is buccal to normal | buccoversion |
| supraeruption, tooth is elongated above the line of occlusion | supraversion |
| tooth is below the line of occlusion | infraversion |
| tooth is turned or rotated | torsiversion |
| based upon the relationship of the permanent first molars, describes relationship of mandible to maxilla | angle/dental classifications |
| what class: patient has mesognathic profile | class 1 occlusion (ideal) |
| where does occlusion occur in posterior teeth for class 1 occlusion | MB cusp of max 1 molar occluded with MB groove of mand 1 molar |
| where does occlusion occur in anterior teeth for class 1 occlusion | max canine occluded with distal half of mand canine/mesial half of mand 1 premolar |
| exhibits malposition of individual or groups of teeth. examples- crowding, crossbites, etc. | class 1 malocclusion |
| what class: patient has retrognathic profile | class 2 malocclusion |
| MB groove of mand 1 molar is DISTAL to the MB cusp of max 1 molar, distal surface of mand canine is DISTAL to mesial surface of max canine | class 2 malocclusion |
| division 1 of class 2 malocclusion | all max incisors are protruded |
| division 2 of class 2 malocclusion | one or more max incisors are retruded |
| what class: patient has prognathic profile | class 3 malocclusion |
| MB groove of MD 1 molar is MESIAL to MB cusp of max 1 molar, distal surface of mand canine is MESIAL to the mesial surface of max canine | class 3 malocclusion |
| what does occluded mean | to close |
