Chapter 20 Occlusion

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

What is occlusion?   The contact relationship between the maxillary and mandibular teeth when the jaw is in a closed position.  
🗑
What is centric occlusion?   voluntary position of the dentition that allows the maximum contact when the teeth occlude.  
🗑
What happens if a tooth is missing for a long period of time?   Mesial Drifting or supereruption  
🗑
Overjet   How many mm the maxillary arch naturally overhangs the mandibular, facially.  
🗑
What is the purpose of overjet?   Allows for the extensions of movement in the mandible and keeps soft tissue out of the way during mastication.  
🗑
What is overbite?   in centric occlusion, max. incisors overlap the mandibular incisors.  
🗑
What is the purpose of overbite?   Allows for contact between posterior teeth during mastication.  
🗑
What teeth are anchor support for the dental arches?   Canines & 1st Molars  
🗑
Phase I of arch form?   Molars  
🗑
Phase II of arch form?   Anteriors  
🗑
Phase III arch form?   Premolars  
🗑
Phase IV arch form?   Canines then 2nd molars  
🗑
Phase V arch form?   Wisdom Teeth  
🗑
What is the Curve of Spee?   Anterior to posterior  
🗑
What is the Curve of Wilson?   Side to side.  
🗑
What is the root axis line?   Each tooth is bisected by its root axis line, showing the angulations of the root.  
🗑
What are centric stops?   maximum interdigitation with locking of the two arch positions.  
🗑
Centric stops include?   Height of cusp contour, marginal ridges, central fossae, supporting cusps.  
🗑
What are supporting cusps?   Lingual cusps of max. post & buccal cusps of mand. post./ Incisal edges of mand. anterior  
🗑
What is centric relation?   End point of closure of the mandible: the mand. is in the most retruded position to which it can be carried by the musculature and ligaments.  
🗑
What percentage of youth show some degree of malocclusion?   80%

🗑
What percentage of youth show some degree of malocclusion?   80%  
🗑
What is class I malocclusion?   Ideal mesiodistal relationship/ MB of max. first molar occludes with the MB groove the mandibular first molar.  
🗑
What is the facial profile of a class I Malocclusion?   Mesognathic.  
🗑
What is an open bite?   The anterior teeth do not occlude.  
🗑
What is an end to end bite?   The teeth occlude without the maxillary teeth overlapping the mandibular teeth.  
🗑
What is cross bite?   When a mand. tooth or teeth are placed facially to the maxillary teeth.  
🗑
What is class II malocclusion?   The MB cusp of the max. first molar occlude (more than the width of a premolar) mesial to the MB groove of the mand. first molar.  
🗑
What is class II, division I occlusion?   The max. anterior protrude facially from the mand. anterior.  
🗑
What is a clinical consideration of class II, division I occlusion?   Mand. incisors super erupt.  
🗑
What is the facial profile of a class II, division I occlusion?   Retrognathi- overbite  
🗑

🗑
What is class II malocclusion, division II occlusion?   The max. central incisors are upright or retruded.  
🗑
What is the facial profile of a class II, division II?   Mesognathic with a prominent chin.  
🗑
What is class III malocclusion?   MB cusp of the max first molar occludes distal to the MB groove of the mand. first molar.
