Lec 1

Question 1

complete intercuspation of teeth… independent of condylar position

Answer 1

maximal intercuspal position

Question 2

occlusion of opposing teeth when the mandible is in centric relation. this may or may not coincide with the maximal intercuspal position

Answer 2

centric occlusion

Question 3

mandible is more blank in centric occlusion than maximal intercuspal position

Answer 3

posterior

Question 4

centric relation has nothing to do with blank

Answer 4

teeth

Question 5

centric relation is when the condyle is articulating with this part of the disc

Answer 5

thinnest avascular

Question 6

This position is independent of tooth contact. This position is clinically discernible when the mandible is directed superior and anteriorly. It is restricted to a purely rotary movement about the transverse horizontal axis.

Answer 6

centric relation

Question 7

any mandibular relationship occuring during minimal muscle contraction

Answer 7

postural position

Question 8

distance measured between two points when the occluding members are in contact… like nose to chin

Answer 8

occlusal vertical dimension

Question 9

position when elevators and depressors are in tonic contraction equilibrium and is a bigger number than

Answer 9

physiologic position

Question 10

difference between vertical dimension of rest and the vertical dimension while in occlusion

Answer 10

interocclusal rest space

Question 11

side toward which the mandible moves in a lateral excursion

Answer 11

working side

Question 12

balanced articulation applies to blank only

Answer 12

dentures

Question 13

with blank variability, no one anatomical or functional description can apply to every human masticatory system

Answer 13

morphological

Question 14

The distance between occluding surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth when the mandible is in a specified position.

Answer 14

interocclusal distance
