25
Humans have an arch alignment that is _________?
Considered "Partially isognathous"
26
Where is the Anterior Transverse Ridge exhibited only on? | What does it Obliterate?
Permanent Maxillary Molars | and is confluent with the MESIAL MARGINAL RIDGE, obliterating much of the medial triangular fossa
27
Which arch form dominates or influences the other arch form ?
Maxillary dominates
28
Why does the maxillary form dominate?
1) Maxillary arch is larger than the mandible, from the distal of a third molar on one side through the middle of each tooth to the third molar on the other side
29
Which arch is wider or larger in measurement (leads to the domination of the arches)
The maxillary arch is wider from right to left sides
30
Which arch are esthetics embedded more in? (leads to another reason this arch dominates)
The maxillary arch more than mandibular arch, because the smile line is extremely evident with maxillary anterior teeth
31
Which of the teeth deviate the LEAST from the vertical (longitudinal) axis ? (From Proximal reference)
Mandibular Second Premolar (6 degrees)
32
Which of the teeth deviate the MOST from the vertical (longitudinal) axis ? (From PROXIMAL reference)
The Lateral incisor (23 degrees)
33
Which of the teeth deviate the LEAST from the vertical (longitudinal) axis ? (From FACIAL reference)
The MANDIBULAR Lateral incisor (0 degrees)
34
Which of the teeth deviate the MOST from the vertical (longitudinal) axis ? (From FACIAL reference)
Second Molar (14 degrees)
35
Teeth primarily contact their __________________
Their namesakes in the opposing arch
36
Most teeth contact one additional tooth in the ___________
opposing arch
37
The MAXILLARY THIRD MOLARS & MANDIBULAR CENTRAL INCISORS HAVE _____________
ONLY ONE antagonist in the opposing arch *** Tooth 1 and 8 are the exceptions to the rest
38
What is the location of the proximal contacts for the Midline?
The INCISAL THIRD (1/3)
39
What is the location of the proximal contacts for the DISTAL of CENTRAL?
Junction of incisal and middle thirds
40
What is the location of the proximal contacts for the Mesial of Lateral?
Junction of incisal and middle thirds
41
What is the location of the proximal contacts for the Distal of Lateral?
Middle third
42
What is the mnemonic for the Proximal Contact Areas (Facial perspective of maxillary anterior teeth?)
I JJ MJM
43
All facial surfaces = _______ located in the ________
0.5 mm | Located in the cervical third
44
Mandibular anterior teeth lingual surface amount of contour and location = __________ and located in the _________
0.5 mm | Located in the cervical third
45
Mandibular first premolar teeth lingual surface amount of contour and location = ____________ located in the ________
0.5 mm | Located in the middle third
46
Mandibular second premolar teeth lingual surface amount of contour and location = ________________ located in the ___________________
0.75 mm | Located in the middle third
47
Mandibular molar teeth lingual surface amount of contour and location = ____________ located in the ____________
1 mm | Located in the middle third
48
Measurements of the Height of Curvature of the Cervical Line, Maxillary Arch (Mesial Aspect)
Decreases from anterior incisors to posterior molars
49
Measurements of the Height of Curvature of the Cervical Line, Maxillary Arch (Distal Aspect)
Decreases from anterior incisors to posterior molars
50
What is the cervical line curves in a coronal direction on _______________
The proximal surface
51
The measurements is from the lowest point at the cervical line to the________________________
the highest point in the middle of the proximal surface
52
Which teeth have the most measurable curvature?
The anterior teeth
53
Which teeth have little or no curvature?
The molars
54
On an individual tooth the curvature is always greatest where?
On the mesial
55
Which tooth is the largest (3.5mm)
The medial of the maxillary central is
56
The distal of maxillary central is __________
2.5mm
57
Regarding the periodontal fibers at the cervical line, Periodontal disease will affect the integrity of the periodontal fibers at what level of the cervical line?
- Circumferential - Alveolar crest - Transseptal - Horizontal and oblique *****LEADS to a degradation of the crest of the alveolar bone
58
What are the Imbrication lines? | How do they run?
- Negative anatomy resulting from an overlapping enamel at the cervical third - They run PARALLEL to the cervical line
59
What are the perikymata line?
-Positive anatomy or the actual enamel ridges that define the imbrication lines
60
Where are Imbrication and Perikymata lines mostly seen?
On permanent maxillary central incisors
61
Regarding Tooth Form Generalizations (Mandibular Arch # 19- Left 1st molar) the contact areas are both ___________
Slightly more to the facial
62
Mesial outlines of crowns are _______________
Less curved than distal outlines
63
