27
What is the average normal overjet?
0-2 mm.
28
What is the normal vertical overlap of incisors?

30
What is a retrognathic profile?
A retruded mandibular basal arch.
31
Define prognathic profile.

32
What is the purpose of Angle’s classification?
To describe malocclusion based on the mesiodistal relations of the first molars.
33
Define Angle’s class I.
Normal molar relation but with crowding or malposed teeth.
34
Define Angle’s class II.
Lower molar positioned distally to the upper molar.
35
Define Angle’s class III.
Lower molar positioned mesially to the upper molar.
36
What are the two divisions of Angle’s class II?
Division 1 (protrusion of upper incisors) and Division 2 (retrusion of upper incisors).
37
What is Dewey’s modification of Angle’s class I?
Further classification based on anterior crowding or individual tooth displacement.
38
What is Dewey’s type 1 modification?
Bunched or crowded maxillary anterior teeth.
39
What is Dewey’s type 3 modification?
Maxillary incisors in linguoversion to mandibular incisors.
40
Define buccoclusion.
Buccal displacement of teeth or dental arches.
41
Define linguoclusion.
Lingual displacement of teeth or dental arches.
42
What is supraclusion?
An abnormally deep overbite of a group of teeth.
43
What is infraclusion?
Open bite of a group of teeth or dental arches.
44
What does Simon’s classification consider?
Relationship of dental arches to the three planes of space.
45
Name the three planes in Simon’s classification.
Frankfort horizontal, mid-sagittal, and orbital planes.
46
What is protraction in Simon’s classification?
Anterior placement of the dental arch to the orbital plane.
47
Define retraction in Simon’s classification.
Posterior placement of the dental arch to the orbital plane.
48
What is contraction in Simon’s classification?
Dental arch closer to the mid-sagittal plane.
49
What is distraction in Simon’s classification?
Dental arch farther from the mid-sagittal plane.
50
Define attraction in Simon’s classification.
Dental arch nearer to the Frankfort horizontal plane.
51
Define abstraction in Simon’s classification.
Dental arch farther from the Frankfort horizontal plane.
52
What does skeletal deep bite indicate?
Excessive vertical overlap due to basal arch malrelations.
53
Define skeletal open bite.
Lack of vertical overlap due to basal arch malrelations.
54
What is Lischer’s modification to Angle’s classification?
Use of the term “version” to describe malpositions.
55
What is the significance of the Frankfort horizontal plane?
It serves as a reference for vertical relationships in Simon’s classification.
56
What is an edge-to-edge bite classified as in Dewey’s modification?
Type 1 modification of Angle’s class III.
57
What are the limitations of Angle’s classification?
It doesn’t differentiate skeletal and dental malocclusion.
58
What is the normal occlusion described by Angle?
The mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar aligns with the buccal groove of the lower first molar.
59
Define constricted maxillary basal arch.
A narrow upper arch, often associated with cleft palate.
60

64
What is the significance of basal arches in malocclusion?
Determines skeletal dysplasia in malrelations.
65
What is the mid-sagittal plane?
Divides the cranium into two equal halves.
