Occlusion

Question 1

Another name for static occlusion

Answer 1

Maximal intercuspation
Centric occlusion
Habitual bite
ICP=intercuspal position

Question 2

Dynamic occlusion another term

Answer 2

Mandibular eccentric movements
Lateral excursion

Question 3

What is the significance of using thin articulating papers

Answer 3

Minimise contact artefacts

Question 4

When we take a ICP, what is important

Answer 4

Use articulating papers on both sides simultaneously otherwise there will be display,ent of the mandible

Question 5

Name of the thing to hold articulating papers

Answer 5

Y type paper holder
Miller forceps

Question 6

How thin is shimstock paper

Answer 6

8 microns

Question 7

How thin is bitechek

Answer 7

19 microns

Question 8

What will u see upon heavy contact

Answer 8

More colour squeezed out due to more masticatory pressure

Question 9

High pressure = premature contact
Surrounding dark area is NOT part of the occlusal contact

Question 10

Ergonomic working posture angle

Answer 10

Head should tilt less that 25 degrees

Question 11

Contacts should,be small and discrete

Question 12

What is the normal correct position of teeth in ICP for occlusal stability

Answer 12

Cusp tip to marginal ridges

Cusp tip to fossa

Question 13

Interference

Answer 13

Only molars touching

For example, if a person has a misaligned bite or malocclusion, their upper and lower teeth may not fit together properly, causing the molars or premolars to collide when chewing. Alternatively, if a person has a dental restoration or prosthesis that is too high or too thick, it may cause the opposing teeth to touch or hit each other excessively, leading to tooth interference.

Question 14

Which is more ideal canine or group function

Answer 14

Canine guidance

Question 15

ICP contacts that are broad and rubbing are sometimes associated with underlying occlusal problems

Question 16

Axial loading accomplished how

Answer 16

Tripodization

Question 17

What is tripodization

Answer 17

Reciprocal incline contacts

Each centric cusp contacting an opposing fossa has 3 reciprocating contact areas

Question 18

Tripodization leads to occlusal stability buccolingually and mesial distally

Question 19

When we see premature contacts what should we do

Answer 19

Eliminate premature contacts on cusp inclines

Question 20

Where should we avoid occlusal contacts

Answer 20

On restorations

Question 21

What does shimstock detect

Answer 21

Infra-occluded restorations

Question 22

Anterior teeth have light contacts

Question 23

Most common thickness of articulating paper

Answer 23

40 microns

Question 24

Infra occlusion is not wanted !
