Q

Lingual of the maxillary is called…

35
Q

Masticatory

A

The chewing surface on the most superior surface of the crown

36
Q

Posterior masticatory is called…

A

Occlusal

37
Q

Anterior masticatory is called…

A

Incisal surfaces

38
Q

What do the masticatory surfaced have?

A
  • Linear elevations, or ridges
  • Named according to location
39
Q

The canines have…

A
  • Cusps
  • One major elevation
40
Q

Interproximal space

A

Area between adjacent tooth surfaces

41
Q

Contact area

A
  • Area where the crowns of adjacent teeth in the same arch physically touch on each proximal surface
42
Q

How many contacts does each tooth have?

A

2

43
Q

Were are the contacts located?

A

At the height of contour

44
Q

What four teeth are the exception to the contact rule?

A

8, 9, 24, and 25

45
Q

Purpose of contact areas?

A
  • Prevents impaction
  • Stabilizes arch
  • Prevents buildup
  • Protection
46
Q

Interproximal bone

A

Part of bone in-between teeth

47
Q

Contact area general rules

A
  • More cervically located anterior to posterior
  • Mesial more incisally or occlusally located except mandibular incisors
  • Larger in posterior than anterior
48
Q

Contact point

A

Relationship between max and mand arch

49
Q

Height of contour

A

Widest point

50
Q

Height of contour is usually higher on the mesial or distal?

A

Mesial

51
Q

Proximal height of contour on anterior teeth is located…

A

Closer to the incisal surfaces

52
Q

Proximal height of contour on posterior teeth is located…

A

Near the middle third

53
Q

Height of contour on buccal

A

Anterior and posterior teeth is cervical third

54
Q

Height of contour on lingual

A
  • Anterior teeth is cervical third
  • Posterior teeth is middle third
55
Q

Function of height of contour

A

Natural tooth convexities divert food away from the tissue

56
Q

Insufficient contour

A

Inadequate protection, too much stimulation

57
Q

Excessive contour

A

Inadequate stimulation

58
Q

Embrasures

A
  • When two teeth in the same arch come into contact, their curvature next to contact areas form this
  • V shape
59
Q

In the posterior, are the embrasures bigger or smaller on the lingual? Why?

A
  • Lingual embrasures are larger than facial
  • Contact area is more buccal
60
Q

Do facial embrasures increase or decrease in size when you move from anterior to posterior? Why?

A
  • Increase, bigger in posterior
  • Because the contact points are located more cervically
61
Q

Functions of embrasures

A
  • Serve as spillway
  • Integral part of self cleansing
  • Reduces force of mastication
  • Allows stimulation of the gingiva
62
Q

What are the closed spaces in the interproximal spaces

A

Interdental papilla

63
Q

Interproximal space functions

A
  • Vascular support, nourishment
  • Prevents impaction
  • Anchorage and support
64
Q

What stimulates the peridontum?

A

Shape, height of contour, contact areas, contact point, interproximal spaces, embrasures

65
Q

Gum vs periodontum

A
  • Gum is what we see
  • Periodontium is the whole thing, including shape, embrasure, etc.
66
Q

Proximal divisions

A

3 vertical thirds
- Facial
- Middle
- Lingual

67
Q

Root division

A

Horizontal thirds
- Apex
- Middle
- Cervical

68
Q

Line angle

A

Describes the junction where two surfaces meets

69
Q

Point angle

A

Another way to determine a specific area of the crown

70
Q

Succedaneous teeth

A

Teeth that replace primary dentition

71
Q

What teeth are succedaneous?

A
  • IIncisors: Central/lateral
  • Canine
  • Premolars (1st and 2nd)
72
Q

Nonsuccedaneous teeth

A

All molars

73
Q

Are molars succedaneous?

A

No

74
Q

Are all succedaneous teeth permanent teeth?

A

Yes

75
Q

Are all permanent teeth succedaneous teeth?

A

No

76
Q

Are primary teeth succedaneous?

A

No

77
Q

Premolars are also called…

A

Bicuspids

78
Q

Role of incisors?

A

Cut food

79
Q

Role of canines?

A

Tear food

80
