Answer 12

Slide 17

Question 13

The plane of occlusion can be altered to maximum of?

Answer 13

10 degrees

Question 14

Define Compensating curves?

Answer 14

Slide 19

Question 15

Name the types of Compensating curves?

Answer 15

1. Antero-posterior curve= Curve of Spee
2. Lateral curve= Curve of Monson & Wilson

Question 16

Define Curve of Spee

Answer 16

Slide 20

Question 17

What is the significance of the curve of Spee?

Answer 17

Slide 22
When the patient moves their mandible forward, the posterior teeth set on this curve will continue to remain in contact, avoiding disclusion

Question 18

Define curve of Wilson?

Answer 18

Slide 24
This curve is convex downwards
The lower posterior teeth are inclined lingually showing buccal prominence
These will bring them into heavy occlusal contact with the buccal cusp of upper posterior during lateral movement on the working side

Question 19

Explain curve of monsion?

Answer 19

Extending the curve of spee and Wilson of all cups and incisal edges
Curve of occlusion in which each cusp and incial edges touches or conforms to a segment of a surface of a sphere of 8 inches in diameter with its center in the region of the glabella

Slide 30

Question 30

Define Monoplane occlusion?

Answer 30

An occlusal arrangement where the posterior teeth have masticatory surfaces without cuspal height
Slide 31-32

Question 31

Advantages of Monoplane Occlusion

Answer 31

Slide 33

Question 32

Disadvantages of Monoplane occlusion?

Answer 32

1. Poor Appearance
2. Lack of positive intercuspatiom
3. No vertical component to aid in shearing during mastication

Question 33

Define Lingualized occlusion

Answer 33

Slide 35

Question 34

Disadvantages of Lingualized Occlusion

Answer 34

1. Wearing of maxillary lingual cusp and mandibular Fassa
2. More challenging teeth arrangement than Monoplane
