10: Vertical Determinants of Occlusal Morphology

Question 1

condylar guidance

Answer 1

angle of the eminence

Question 2

anterior guidance

Answer 2

horizontal overlap

Question 3

plane of occlusion

Answer 3

incisal edges - posterior cusps

Question 4

curve of Spee

Answer 4

anterioposterior curve

Question 5

mandibular lateral translation movement

Answer 5

Bennett Movement or side shift

Question 6

condylar guidance: steeper the guidance

Answer 6

–> taller posterior cusps

Question 7

anterior guidance: greater vertical overlap

Answer 7

–> taller posterior cusps

Question 8

anterior guidance: greater horizontal overlap

Answer 8

–> shorter posterior cusps

Question 9

plane of occlusion: more parallel the plane to the condylar guidance

Answer 9

–> shorter posterior cusps

Question 10

Curve of Spee: more acute the curve

Answer 10

–> shorter (most) posterior cusps

Question 11

lateral translation movement: greater the movement

Answer 11

–> shorter posterior cusps

Question 12

lateral translation movement: more superior the movement of rotating condyle

Answer 12

–> shorter posterior cusps

Question 13

lateral translation movement: greater the immediate side shift

Answer 13

–> shorter posterior cusps
