T/F: A compensating curve is used to create balanced occlusion for artificial teeth.
True
Describe a working side (laterotrusive) movement.
The side of the mouth that the mandible moves to
Descibe a nonworking side (mediotrusive) contact.
Contacts on the side away from which the mandible has moved
_________ is the vertical overlapping of mandibular incisors by maxillary incisors.
Overbite
_________ is the horizontal overlapping of mandibular incisors by maxillary incisors.
Overjet
T/F: Angle’s classification is based on molars only.
False
Molars and canines
What is the molar relationship that defines Class I occlusion?
MB cusp of max M1 occludes with MB groove of mand M1
Where is the max canine occluding in a Class I relationship?
Max canine occludes between mand canine and PM1
What is the difference between Division I and Division II Class II occlusion?
Division I - all max incisors proclined
Division II - max centrals retroclined, laterals proclined
In Class II occlusion, the MB cusp of max M1 occludes _________ to the MB groove of mand M1.
mesially
canine also occludes more mesially
In class III occlsuion, the MB cusp of M1 occludes _______ to the MB groove of mand M1.
distally
canine also occludes more distally
What are the working cusps of maxillary and mandibular teeth?
Max lingual and mand buccal
functional cusps
What do working cusps oppose?
central fossae and marginal ridges
T/F: Working cusps are sharper than nonworking cusps.
False
Broader and rounder
T/F: Nonworking cusps support the vertical dimension of the face.
False
Working cusps
What do nonworking cusps oppose?
Embrasure spaces and grooves
In ideal CO, every tooth in one arch contacts two teeth in the opposite arch except for which teeth?
Max 3rd molars and mand central incisors
Where do the ML cusps of max molars teeth occlude?
In the central fossa of their counterpart
Where do the DL cusps of max molars and the lingual cusps of max premolars occlude?
Distal marginal ridge of counterpart and mesial marginal ridge of distal tooth
The mandible acts as a _______ lever.
