Occlusion Flashcards
What class of levers is the fulcrum between the effort and the load?
Class 1
What class of levers is the load between the effort and the fulcrum?
Class 2
In what class of levers is the effort between the fulcrum and the load?
Class 3
Every maxillary tooth is more … than its opposing counterpart.
distal
What is the only maxillary tooth with 1 opposing counterpart?
maxillary 3rd molar
What is the only mandibular tooth with 1 opposing counterpart?
mandibular central incisor
A tooth-determined jaw position; you can slide your teeth forward and backward from this position.
centric occlusion: the intercuspal position
In the Angle Class 1 (ideal) each maxillary tooth is in a more distal position to its antagonist in the mandibular arch. The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary 1st molar should rest on the …
mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular 1st molar
Maxillary 1st molar is anterior to the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular 1st molar; the mesiobuccal cusp rests between the 1st mandibular molar and 2nd premolar
Angle Class II (Overbite; retruded)
Most common malocclusion in individuals with Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
Angle Class II (overbite; retruded)
Overbite with upper anterior teeth flaring out
Class II, Division 1
Overbite with central incisors slanting inward, and adjacent lateral incisors slanting out
Class II, Division 2
The mandibular anterior teeth are more prominent than the maxillary anterior teeth. The pt often has a large mandible or a short maxilla.
Class III (prognathic)
In Class III occlusion usually the mesiobuccal cusps of the maxillary 1st molar rests between …
the 1st and 2nd mandibular molars
Mandibular buccal cusps are buccal to the maxillary buccal cusps
Crossbite
