Static Occlusion Flashcards
the teeth have a what drift
mesial drift
contact relationship has a risk of
caries and plaque build up
prevent overhangs
each upper tooth contacts with what lower
same lower and distal neighbour eg 3 with 3 and 4
ideal arch shape upper and lower
upper- big to 7 then smaller at 8
lower - bigger to the 8
what arch is bigger and why
upper - upper 3-3 much bigger than lower 3-3
UPPER SITS OUTSIDE of lower
first teeth to erupt
lower 1’s and 6’s
factors effecting path of eruption
lips, togue, sucking thumb, clarinet
curve called when making denture to be correct
curve of wilson
angulation of upper/lower teeth
upper anterior- mesially
lower anterior -mesially
lower posterior - mesially
upper posterior - distally
bilateral cross bite
one side
upper inside lower
unilateral cross bite
both sides
upper inside lower
what is angles classification
the upper and lower 6’s relationship
key to occlusion
can do with canine of no 6
angles classification of molars
class I
class II
class III
class I- sits right mb cusp sits in the lower mb groove
class II-upper 6 too mesial for lower (perhaps upper 5 taken out)
class III- upper 6 too distal for lower(perhaps lower 5 taken out)
overbite
upper tooth vertically covers (overlaps) the lower tooth
overjet
horizon- horizontal
overlap horizontal
