Bootcamp Flashcards
the static relationship between the incising or masticating surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth
occlusion
____ is the way teeth are shaped; ____ is the way teeth fit together
morphology; occlusion
the tightest or best fit between maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth
MI
Is CR affected by malocclusion?
NO
A relationship between the teeth that is irrespective of tooth position or vertical dimension:
CR
What position do we use when mounting diagnostic casts of our patients teeth?
CR
What determines centric relation?
Ligaments NOT teeth!
fibrocartilage present between the mandible and elements of articular eminence:
articular disc
retrodiscal tissue is ____ to the mandible:
posterior
If CR and MIP DO NOT exist together, this is because there hast to be a:
prematurity or deflective occlusal contact
average plane established by the incisal and occlusal surfaces of the teeth:
occlusal plane
the anteroposterior (or mesiodistal) curvature of cusp tips of the teeth:
Curve of Spee
The mandibular curve of spee is _____
The maxillary curve of spee is ____
mandibular= concave
maxillary= convex
anteroposterior means:
front to back- anterior teeth to posterior teeth
the mediolateral curvature of the cusp tips of the teeth:
curve of wilson
the curve of Wilson is the ____ curvature of the cusp tips of the teeth
mediolateral
the curve of Wilson spans from the:
right to the left side of the arch
side-to-side curve:
front-to-back curve:
curve of Wilson
curve of spee
the curve of Wilson in the mandible can be described as:
concave
the curve of Wilson in the maxilla can be describe as:
convex
functional/working cusps are cusps that are:
centric
hold the vertical dimension of occlusion:
functional/working
functional/working cusps function in:

angles classifications
What is the ideal angles classification?
class 1
