Occlusion Flashcards
What is malocclusion
Any deviation from the physiologically acceptable relationship of the maxillary arch and/or teeth to the mandibular arch and/or teeth
Problems from malocclusion
Ability to maintain adequate plaque control
Speech development
Appearance
What is crossbite
Maxillary or mandibular posterior teeth are either facial or lingual to their normal position.
This condition may occur bilaterally or unilaterally
What is edge to edge bite?
Incisal surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth include with incisal surfaces of mandibular teeth instead of overlapping as in normal occlusion
End to end bite
Molars in pre-molars occlude cusp to cusp as viewed mesiodistally
What is open bite
Lack of occlusal or incisal contact between certain Maxillary and mandibular Teeth because either or both have failed to reach the line of occlusion
What is over jet
The horizontal distance between the labioincisal surfaces of the mandibular incisors and the linguoincisal surfaces of the maxillary incisors
What is under jet
Maxillary and Teeth are lingual to mandibular The Teeth
What is Buccoversion
Teeth positioned buccal to normal
What is Labioversion
Tooth that has assumed a position labial to normal
What is linguoversion
Teeth positioned lingual to normal
What is supraversion
Elongated above the line of occlusion
What is infraversion
Depressed below the line of occlusion.
What is torsiversion
Teeth are turned or rotated
