Q

What is considered NORMAL Class I Occlusion?

A

MB Cusp of the maxillary first occludes with MB groove of mandibular first

“Normal” class I means all teeth are straight in the arches

Q

What is considered Class I Malocclusion?

A

• MB Cusp of the maxillary first occludes with MB groove of mandibular first

• “Mal” because remaining teeth are not straight

Q

What is considered a Class Il Malocclusion?

A

MB Cusp of the maxillary first occludes mesial to the MB groove of mandibular first

17
Q

What is considered a Class II Division I?

A

Proclined incisors

MB Cusp of the maxillary first occludes mesial to the MB groove of mandibular first

18
Q

What is considered as Class Il Division II?

A

MB Cusp of the maxillary first occludes mesial to the MB groove of mandibular first

Retroclined centrals

19
Q

What is considered as a Class Ill Malocclusion?

A

MB Cusp of the maxillary first occludes Distal to the MB groove of mandibular first

20
Q

The horizontal distance measured from the facial surface of the most lingual mandibular anterior tooth to the middle of the incisor edge of the more facially positioned maxillary tooth

21
Q

The horizontal distance measured from the facial surface of the most palatal maxillary anterior tooth to the middle of the incisor edge of the more facially positioned mandibular tooth

A

Negative overjet

22
Q

The vertical overlap between two antagonistic teeth (lateral or central incisors). Measured in millimeters & often expressed as a percentage.

23
Q

What are the 4 categories of overbite?

A

Minimal
Moderate
Deep
Severe/ impinging

24
Q

When the incisal edges of maxillary incisors are within the incisal half of mandibular incisors, the condition is referred to as

A

Moderate overbite

25
The lower jaw is forward with the mandibular arch and incisors extending beyond the maxillary arch and incisors.
Underbite
26
The vertical distance between teeth NOT in occlusion
Openbite
27
Interincisal distance at peak range of motion (ROM) May be correctly measured by adding overbite or subtracting openbite
MMO (Maximum Mouth Opening)
28
Tooth Loss can cause
• Super-eruption • Drifting • Inclination
29
The anteroposterior curvature of the arches
Curve of spee
30
• Arc of the curve of the posterior teeth • Concave for mandibular • Convex for maxillary
Curve of wilson
31
Combining the______ forms the Occlusal Plane which refers to______
Curve of Wilson and Curve of Spee; an imaginary surface touching the edges of all occluding surfaces
32
____is a vertical difference between the left and right sides of the occlusal plane
Occlusal plane canting, also known as occlusal cant (OC)
