Study Notes
Occlusion of the Tooth - Flashcards Study Notes
- Class II, division II malocclusion is linked to a deep overbite.
- An open bite can occur even if anterior incisors are touching edge to edge.
- Severe protrusion of maxillary incisors often results in increased overjet.
- Retruded teeth are inclined towards the tongue (lingually).
- The absence of permanent first molars complicates occlusion determination, but canines can still provide information.
- In acromegaly, the mandible does not grow faster than the maxilla; rather, the maxilla grows more rapidly.
- Alignment refers to the straight arrangement of teeth in a row, essential for proper occlusion.
- Leeway space is the additional space taken by deciduous canines and molars, aiding the eruption of permanent teeth.
- Primate space consists of diastemas located next to the deciduous canines.
- Diastemas are the gaps found between individual teeth.
- Occlusion denotes the relationship between maxillary and mandibular teeth when the jaws are closed.
- Centric occlusion is characterized by optimal interdigitation of the teeth during jaw closure.
- Class II, division II occlusion may exhibit features like a deep overbite, crowded maxillary incisors, a normal overjet, and distocclusion.
- Class III occlusion is typically associated with a prognathic mandibular jaw.
- Overbite can be described in terms of vertical overlap.
- Class I occlusion occurs when the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar aligns directly above the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar.
- Class III occlusion is the least common type of occlusion.
- In Class III occlusion, the distal surface of the permanent mandibular canine is mesial to the mesial surface of the permanent maxillary canine by at least the width of one tooth.
- Crossbite occurs when permanent mandibular molars are positioned buccal to the maxillary molars.
- Posteriors are the teeth that ideally occlude in centric occlusion.
- Anteriors are the teeth that make contact during ideal protrusive movements.
- Group function refers to the occlusion of the premolars during lateral excursions.
