MALOCCLUSION Flashcards
T/ F
Dr. Angle gave one of the best examples of a hypothesis–his “key to occlusion.”
→ most important teeth are the 1st permanent molars because
they are the most constant in their positions

T/ F
Dr. Angle gave one of the best examples of a hypothesis–his “key to occlusion.”
→ specifically upper 1st permanent molars
→ they are the very cornerstones and thus they became basis for
his classification of malocclusion
T
ARCH FORMS
→ narrow
→ parabolic or average
→ wide
vertical relationship of anterior teeth
OVERBITE
incisal edge of maxillary tooth within the incisal third of the facial surface of the mandibular incisor
NORMAL OVERBITE
incisal surfaces occlude
EDGE-TO-EDGE BITE
maxillary anterior teeth are lingual to mandibular anterior teeth
ANTERIOR CROSSBITE
occurs in Angle’s Class III malocclusion
ANTERIOR CROSSBITE
incisal edge of the maxillary tooth is at the level of the cervical third of the facial surface of the mandibular anterior tooth
DEEP (SEVERE) ANTERIOR OVERBITE
→ lack of incisal contact
→ posterior teeth in normal occlusion
OPEN BITE
molars in cusp-to-cusp occlusion as viewed from the facial
END-TO-END BITE
horizontal relationship of anterior teeth
OVERJET
→ maxillary incisors are labial to the mandibular incisors
OVERJET
maxillary incisors are lingual to the mandibular incisors
UNDERJET
only half of the crown is misaligned
CROSSBITE
→ can be an anterior or posterior crossbite
→ can be unilateral or bilateral
CROSSBITE
→ entire crown is malpositioned
