Chapter 11 Week 1 Flashcards
Angles classification
System developed by Dr. Edward H angle to describe and classify occlusion and malocclusion
Anterior
Toward the front
Apical third
Division of the root nearest the hp of the root
Buccal surface
Tooth surface closest to the inner cheek
Buccolingual division
Lengthwise division of the crown in a labial or buccolingual direction, consisting of the facial or buccal /labial third, middle third, and lingual third
Centric occlusion
Maximum contact between the occluding surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth
Cervical third
Division of the root nearest the neck of the tooth
Concave
Curved inward
Contact area
Area of the medial or distal surface of a tooth that touches the adjacent tooth in the same arch
Convex
Curved outword
Curve of spee
Curvature formed by maxillary and mandibular arches in occlusion
Curve of Wilson
Curve-arch curvature of the occlusal plane
Deciduous
Pertaining to the first Dentition of 20 teeth often called baby teeth or primary
Dentition
Natural teeth in the dental arch
Distal surface
Surface of tooth Distant from the midline
Distoclusion
Class ii malocclusion in which the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first collar occludes (by more than the width of a premolar ) medial to the messobuccal groove of the mandibular first molar
Embrasure
Triangular space in a Gingival direction between the proximal surface of two adjoining teeth and contact
FacialSurface
Tooth surface closest to the face. facial Surfaces closest to the lips are called labial surfaces and facial surfaces closest to the Inner cheek are called buccal surfaces therefore the Term FACIAL can be substituted for labial and buccal and vice versa
Functional occasion
Contact of the teeth during biting and chewing movements
Incisal surface
Chewing surface of anterior teeth
Interproximal Space
The area between adjacent tooth surfaces
Labial surface
Facial surface closest to the lips
Labioversion
The inclination of the teeth to extend facially beyond the normal overlap of the incisal edge of maxillary incisors over the mandibular incisors
Line angle
Junction of two walls in a cavity preparation
Lingual surface
Surface of mandibular and maxillary teeth closest to the tongue also called palate surface
Linguoversion
Position in which the maxillary incisors are behind the mandibular incisors
Malocclusion
Occlusion that deviated from a class one normal equation
