Q

What is occlusion

A

Contact of mandibular teeth with the maxillary teeth

34
Q

When is centric relation achieved?

A

When the mandible is in its most posterior/superior position

Gently move the mandible back and up, mandibular teeth will not make contact with the maxillary teeth

36
Q

39
Q

40
Q

What would describe normal/ideal occlusion?

A
  • Maximum intercuspation
  • Horizontal overlap/over jet where maxillary teeth slightly overlap the mandibular teeth facially/labially/buccally by about 2 1/2 to 3 mm
  • Vertical overlap/overbite with a distance them in tubular incisors bite onto the lingual surface of maxillary incisors by about 2 to 3 mm or within the incisal third
