lecture 3- occlusion

Question 1

when should you evaluate your patient’s occlusion

Answer 1

before preparing then try to replicate that in your restoration

Question 2

the way the max teeth contact the mand teeth

Answer 2

occlusion
static

Question 3

the static dynamic relationship between occlusal surfaces during function

Answer 3

articulation

Question 4

what are the goals of operative dentistry restorations

Answer 4

1. good esthetics where applicable
2. restore function
   (minimize trauma to dentition)
   (ensure restoration lasts a long time)

Question 5

what is the ideal occlusion

Answer 5

1. teeth occlude with (contact) each other along their long axes
   2 max overlaps mand
   -nonfunctional cusp- buccal on max teeth
   -functional cusps- lingual on mand teeth
2. posterior teeth are axial loading

Question 6

in ideal occlusion, want posterior teeth to

Answer 6

axial load
(load along long axis of the tooth)

Question 7

each functional cusp occludes in fossa of opposing tooth
tooth arrangment?

Answer 7

cusp-fossa
one to one tooth arrangement

Question 8

each functional cusp contacts the MR or fossa of the opposing pair of teeth
tooth arrangement?

Answer 8

cusp-marginal
one to two teeth arrangement

Question 9

what type of occlusion is the most natural dentition

Answer 9

cusp-marginal ridge

Question 10

if we restore occlusion wrong then

Answer 10

pain on biting
fractured cusp or restoration
remature wear on teeth
trauma to TMJ or PDLs

Question 11

check pts occlusion with marking paper before

Answer 11

anethetizing
