Question	Answer
Static occlusion	when the jaws are closed in centric occlusion
Centric occlusion	position of the jaws that affords the greatest interdigitation of the teeth; the habitual way that the teeth come together;
Normal occlusion	all teeth in the maxillary arch are in maximum contact with all the teeth in the mandibular arch; maxillary teeth slightly overlap mandibular teeth
Malocclusion	Any deviation from physiologically acceptable relationship of the maxillary arch and/or teeth to the mandibular arch/ teeth;
Three facial profiles:	Mesognathic; Retrogranthic, and Prognathic
Characterize mesognathic facial profile	Mesognathic - slightly protruding jaws which give the face a flat outline
Characterize Retrognathic facial profile	Prominent maxilla, and mandible posterior to its normal position
Prognathic	Prominent, Protruded mandible
Angle's Classification of Permanent Teeth... Permanent teeth are classified based on...	Based on relationship of Maxilla to mandible; specifically the maxillary molars to mandibular molars
What teeth are used to classify occlusion of the permanent dentition	Maxillary 1 molars and mandibular 1st molars
If the 1st molars are missing what teeth are then used in classification of the permanent dentition?	Maxillary cuspid
What are the 3 classes of Angle's Classification	Class I - Neutroclusion, ClassII - Distoclusion; Class III - Mesioclusion
Class I neutroclusion corresponds to what facial profile?	Normal/ Mesognathic
What is the relationship of teeth in Class I Neutroclusion	MB cusp of the maxillary 1st molar should be aligned with the MB groove of the mandibular 1st molar
If 1st molar(s) are missing what is the relationship of teeth in Class I Neutroclussion?	If 1st molar(s) are missing determine by cuspids. Maxillary cuspid should align between the mandibular cuspid and 1st premolar;
Class II Distoclusion can be associated with what facial profile?	Retrognathic
What is the relationship of teeth in Class II Distoclusion	The MB cusp of the maxillary 1st molar is anterior to the MB groove of the mandibular 1st molar by a cusp width.
If 1st molar(s) are missing what is the relationship of teeth in Class II Distoclusion	If 1st molar(s) are missing; the maxillary cuspid is anterior to the interproximal space between the mandibular cuspid and premolar
2 Divisions in Class II Distoclusion	Division I: Maxillary anterior teeth are protruded; Div.II: 1 or more of the maxillary anterior teeth are retruded;
Class III Mesioclusion characterized with what facial profile	Prognathic
What is the relationship of teeth in Class III Mesioclusion	The MB cusp of the maxillary 1st molar is distal to the MB groove of the mandibular 1st molar by a cusp width;
If 1st molar(s) are missing what is the relationship of teeth in Class III Mesioclusion	Maxillary cuspid is distal to the interproximal space between the mandibular cuspid and 1st premolar;
Statement: Record occlusion on both sides of the mouth	True
Statement: Record occlusion measuring it on one side of the mouth only	False. record occlusion on both sides of the mouth
Statement: Pt may have different occlusions on opposite sides of the mouth	True.
Pt can't have different occlusion on opposite sides of the mouth	False. Pt can have different occlusions on opposite sides of the mouth;
Types of Crossbites	Anterior and Posterior
Anterior Crossbite	Maxillary Incisors are lingual to mandibular incisors
Posterior Crossbite	Maxillary or mandibular posterior teeth that are lingual or facial to their normal position
Malrelations of teeth: edge to edge	Incisal surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth occlude with the incisal surfaces of the mandibular anterior teeth, instead of overlapping
Malrelations of teeth: end to end	Molars and premolars occlude cusp to cusp;
Open Bite	Lack of occlusal or incisal contact between maxillary and mandibular teeth
Overjet	Mandibular anterior teeth are lingual to the maxillary anterior teeth; Horizontal measurement between maxillary and mandibular teeth;
Underjet	Maxillary anterior teeth are lingual to the mandibular anterior teeth; Horizontal measurement between maxillary and mandibular teeth
Overbite can be:	Normal, Moderate, Severe
Normal overbite	incisal edge of maxillary incisors within the incisal third of the mandibular incisors
Moderate overbite	incisal edge of maxillary incisors within the middle third of the mandibular incisors
Severe overbite	incisal edge of maxillary incisors within the cervical third of the mandibular incisors;
Labioversion	Tooth positioned labial to normal
Linguoversion	Tooth positioned lingual to normal
Buccoversion	tooth positioned buccal to normal
Supraversion	Also termed supraeruption or hypererupsion; erupted above the line of occlusion; associated with missing teeth;
Torsoversion	turned or rotated tooth
Infraversion	tooth positioned below the line of occlusion
Primary occlusion. Normal (ideal)	Normal(ideal) w/primate spaces-a diastema or gap in tooth row occasionally observed in a primary dentition. Max primate spaces accomod. the mand canines when teeth are in the occlusion. Mand primate spaces accomod. max canines when teeth are in occlusion.
What are primate spaces.	Diastema or gap in tooth row occasionally observed in primary dentition. Max primate spaces accom mand canines when teeth are in occlusion; mand primate spaces accomodate max canines when teeth are in occlusion
Relationship of teeth in normal (ideal) primary occlusion	MB cusp of the primary 2nd molar occludes with the B groove of the primary mand 2nd molar; Canine relationship: Cusp tip of primary maxillary cuspid occludes with the interproximal space of the primary mandibular 1st molar and primary mand cuspid.
Statement: Angle's Classification applies only to permanent dentition	TRUE
Flush terminal plane characteristic of ...	Primary occlusion: distal surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular primary 2nd molars are located in the same vertical plane; End-to-end occlusion
What are the three variations of the abnormal primary occlusions?	1)Flush terminal plane; 2)Distal step 3)Mesial or terminal step
Distal step primary dentition	Distal surface of the mandibular primary molar is distal to the distal surface of the maxillary primary molar;
Mesial or Terminal Step primary dentition	The distal surface of the mandibular primary molar is mesial to the distal surface of the maxillary primary molar.
Supraversion is also termed ...	Hypereruption
Supraversion or Hypereruption is associated with	missing teeth
