A

vertical overlap of incisors

38
Q

what is crossbite

A

one or more teeth abnormally positioned buccal or lingually or labially with reference to opposing teeth

39
Q

what is an anterior open bite

A

lack of vertical overlap of anterior teeth when posterior teeth in full occlusion

40
Q

what is posterior open bite

A

failure of contact between posterior teeth when teeth are in full occlusion

41
Q

what is canine guidance

A

mandible moves to working side and there is only contact between canines

42
Q

what is a mutually protected occlusion

A

canine guidance
posterior disclusion in lateral excursions
no non-working/working side contacts
no protrusive interferences

43
Q

what is group function

A

mandible moves to working side and multiple teeth contact

44
Q

what type of group function is seen in toothwear

A

bilateral

45
Q

what are the only teeth that touch in protrusion of mandible

A

incisors and canines

46
Q

what are occlusal interferences

A

undesirable tooth contacts that can produce mandibular deviation during closure to ICP or hinder smooth passage to and from ICP

47
Q

what are the types of occlusal interference

A

working side
non working side
protrusive

48
Q

what is a working side interference

A

when teeth slide to the working side there are contacts on posterior teeth with similar cusps (buccal cusps contact)

49
Q

what is non working side interference

A

mandible slides to working side and there are contacts on the non-working side with dissimilar cusps (upper lingual cusps and lower buccal cusp)

50
Q

what is protrusive interference

A

any posterior contact during protrusion

51
Q

why do you want to avoid posterior contacts

A

not designed to absorb lateral forces
musculature gets a rest if no contacts
occlusal trauma and undesirable tooth movements

52
Q

what are the 2 types of bruxism

A

eccentric
centric

53
Q

what is eccentric bruxism

A

parafunctional grinding of teeth

54
Q

what is centric bruxism

A

clenching

55
Q

what are the clinical signs of bruxism

A

toothwear
fractured restorations
tooth migration
tooth mobility
muscle pain and fatigue
headache
earache
pain and stiffness in TMJ and surrounding muscles

56
Q

what are the types of toothwear

A

multifactorial
abrasion
attrition
erosion
abfraction

57
Q

what are the types of toothwear classified as

A

58
Q

what is primary occlusal trauma

A

59
Q

what is secondary occlusal trauma

A

accurate repositioning and mounting of maxillary cast

69
Q

what does the facebow record

A

relationship of maxilla to hinge axis of rotation of mandible

if there are plenty of tooth contacts and ICP is obvious to technician

77
Q

what is the simplest approach to mounting casts

A

using ICP registration without OVD increased
conformative approach

78
Q

what are the 2 reorganised approaches

A

ICP registration with OVD increase

79
Q

what is an unorganised approach

havent assessed occlusion before starting restoration
change occlusion with restoration
havent planned where ICP will be
provide an occlusion which does not conform to previous one

80
Q

what is the conformative approach

A

provision of restorations in harmony with existing jaw relationships

81
Q

when would we not use the conformative approach
