Q 
If  the posterior teeth make  \_\_\_\_\_ during lateral or  protrusive movement:
•We lose the class III lever advantage
•We lose the biomechanical advantage of muscle  inhibition, and the masseter, temporalis and medial pterygoid  muscles can contract
•We initiate the class  I or the class  II levers which can create heavy pressures on posterior  teeth.

31
Q

AS THE PLANE OF OCCLUSION BECOMES MORE PARALLEL TO THE ANGLE OF THE EMINENCE, THE POSTERIOR CUSPS MUST BE MADE _______

32
Q

THE FLATTER THE PLANE OF OCCLUSION, THE ______ THE CUSP HEIGHT CAN BE

33
Q

If the Curve of Spee has a SHORT RADIUS: the ANGLE at which the mandibular teeth move away from the maxillary teeth WILL BE ____ THAN WITH A LONG RADIUS, therefore the CUSPS will need to be SHORTER

34
Q

If the Curve of Spee has a SHORT RADIUS: the ANGLE at which the mandibular teeth move away from the maxillary teeth WILL BE Less THAN WITH A LONG RADIUS, therefore the CUSPS will need to be ______

35
Q

Curve of Spee, a longer radius causes a _______ plane of occlusion.

A

flatter plane

36
Q

A shorter radius cause a more ______ plane of occlusion.

37
Q

As the mandible moves forward, the posterior part of the plane will also move forward and will contact the maxillary arch. The _____ the arc (curve of Spee), the more probable is the chance of contact.

38
Q

As the mandible moves forward, the posterior part of the plane will also move forward and will contact the maxillary arch. Thus with a ____ arch, the cusps can be slightly longer.

39
Q

The mandible is moving away from a horizontal reference plane at a 45 degree angle. The flatter the plane of occlusion, the greater will be the angle at which the mandibular posterior teeth move away from the maxillary posterior teeth and therefore the _____ the cusp can be.

40
Q

If the plane of occlusion is rotated more posteriorly, it can be seen that more posterior teeth will be positioned distal to the perpendicular from the reference plane, and will have to have _____ teeth to prevent contact which can be classified as interferences.

41
Q

Posterior teeth located _____ to the radius need shorter cusps than those located _____ to the radius.
