A

geometric theory

54

Closest speaking space with what sound?

A

S sound

55
Q

according to zarb’s text, what is the purpose of secondary impressions?

A

capture all denture bearing area (mimic exact denture length or height)

59
Q

actual old exam question but dont know answer:

  1. What is the Maxillary occlusal plane height of the tuberosities?
A

none of the above (this is the answer)

4mm minimum and 5-6 ideal!!!!!!!!!???

since talking about max, dont know. posterior teeth are 18mm with rem and 22mm in anterior for height. but nothing should be on the tuberosities.

60
Q

monoplane (non-balanced)

62
Q

A

class III

63
Q

A

condylar angulation

64

A

false it corresponding to cusp height

65
Q
  1. During a facebow transfer, what is being measured in relation to centric relation?
A

maxilla to hinge axis

66
Q

***what touches in monoplane occlusion protrusive movement?

A

anterior teeth touch

(none of the above)

67
Q
  1. what posterior teeth are touching in balanced occlusion movements?
A

(all simultaneous occlusal contacts of ant and post teeth)

so since it says posterior, i would say working side

68
Q

bilateral simultaneous occlusal contacts of the ANT and POST teeth in excursive movements

A

balanced occlusion

69
Q

lingualized, non-balanced has all the advantages of monoplane occlusion and also improved:

A

esthetics

70
Q

what is the purpose of the compensating curve? C curve

A

used to develop balanced occlusion

71
Q

hanau’s quint is what

A

formula for balanced occlusion

72
Q
  1. Patient has anatomic, balanced occlusion. Maxillary lingual posterior cusps on the non-working side hit _____?
A

bucal side with lingual cusps
(central fossae areas of mandibular posterior teeth)

73
Q

best way to visualize IOD?

A

talk rapidly

74
Q

why do class III palate patients have a bad prognosis for dentures?

A

bad posterior palatal seal and bad denture retention

75
Q

A

move mandible side to side

76

A

all teeth- contact of ant and post teeth on both sides

79
Q

practice question:

in monoplane balanced occlusion, what teeth are touching in protrusive movement?

posterior teeth contacts
