they are more broad and rounded

34
Q

35
Q

where are the centric cusps usually located

A

1/3 of the way into the total buccolingual dimension

36
Q

why is it important that the centric cusps are located 1/3 of the way into the total buccolingual dimension

A

because this makes the centric cusps positioned over the long axis of the tooth and the forces of mastication are dissipated through the root

maxillary = buccal cusps
mandibular = lingual cusps

Q

how do the non-centric cusp tips compare to the centric cusp tips

they are sharper with more definition to the cusp ridges and tip

Q

what is the function of the non-centric cusps

A

to provide stability in occlusion

40
Q

where are the non-centric cusps positioned into the buccolingual dimension of the tooth

A

1/6 of the way into the buccolingual dimension of the tooth

41
Q

which incline (outer or inner) of the non-centric cusp has functional significance

A

the inner incline

42
Q

what is the functional significance of the inner incline of the non-centric cusp

A

it occludes with, or is close to, the outer incline of the centric cusp of the opposing tooth

43
Q

What are other names for non-centric cusps

A 
non-centric holding cusps
guiding cusps
shear cusps
non-working cusps
non-functional cusps
44
Q

What do guiding cusps oppose

A

embrasures, or grooves in opposing dentition

45
Q

what do supporting cusps contact

A

central fossa, marginal ridges of the opposing dentition

46
Q

what are centric stops

A

the place on a tooth where the opposing centric cusp contacts it

47
Q

what does a normal buccolingual relationship between the posterior teeth of both arches

A
  1. more efficient use of chewing muscles

2. minimize trauma from cheek, or tongue biting

48
Q

What does FOA stand for

A

the Functional Outer Aspect

49
Q

what is the FOA

A

the outer aspect of a centric cusp, which has functional significance

50
Q

does the FOA on centric cusps have functional significance

51
Q

what are the three points of contact in posterior teeth during occlusion

A
  1. the FOA contacting the inner incline of the opposing non-centric cusps
    2 .the inner incline of the centric cusp contacts the inner incline of the opposing centric cusp
  2. the inner incline of the of the non-centric cusp contacting the FOA of the centric cusp of the opposing tooth
52

in the mandibular arch each tooth opposes _______ and ______ except the mandibular central incisors

A
