level questions: CURVES AND OCCLUSION

Question	Answer
Record relationship of maxilla to transverse horizontal hinge axis of mandible	Face-bow or ear-bow
what is used for hinge axis location	Face-bow or ear-bow
Allows patient to close against the opposing rim to stabilize record bases	EDENTULOUS BITE FORK
The lower occlusion rim is adjusted to meet evenly with the upper occlusion rim that anteriorly should indicated by the _______ and posteriorly by the _______	corners of the mouth; retromolar pad area
Mandibular Arch:Neutral zone: ___to the crest of the ridge	lingual
"The maxillomandibular relationship in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the anterior-superior position against the slopes of the articular eminences.	CENTRIC RELATION
This position is clinically discernible when the mandible is directed superiorly and anteriorly.	CENTRIC RELATION
It is restricted to a purely rotary movement about the transverse horizontal axis.	CENTRIC RELATION
The position is independent of tooth contact.	CENTRIC RELATION
Records transfer	ARTICULATION
Types of Patient Record	hinge axis record, interocclusal record, graphic record
A mechanical instrument that represents the temporomandibular joints and jaw members, to which maxillary and mandibular cast may be attached to simulate some or all-mandibular movements	ARTICULATOR
The static relationship (process of closure) between the incising or masticating (occluding) surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth when they are in contact.	OCCLUSION
It is the relation of opposing surfaces which provides the maximum planned contact and or intercuspation.	CENTRIC OCCLUSION
It is a term sometimes used to describe the condition in which the jaws are in centric relation and the teeth or occlusal surfaces in centric occlusion.	CENTRIC OCCLUSION
It is the relation of the mandible to the maxilla when the condyles are in uppermost and rearmost position (most superior and posterior position) in the glenoid fossa at a given degree of vertical dimension (jaw separation	CENTRIC RELATION
Centric Relation: This position may not be recorded in the presence of _____ of the masticatory system.	dysfunction
it is a clinically useful, repeatable reference position	CENTRIC RELATION
The contact relationships of maxillary and mandibular teeth as they move against each other.	DENTAL ARTICULATION
It is an occlusal arrangement where the posterior artificial teeth have masticatory surfaces (can make normal masticatory movements with comfort and efficiency) that closely resemble those of the natural healthy dentition and articulate with similar natural or artificial surfaces	ANATOMIC ARTICULATION
It means that the artificial teeth are set up so that as many teeth as possible are in occlusion in centric occlusal relationship.	BALANCED OCCLUSION
It is bilateral, simultaneous, anterior, and posterior occlusal contact of teeth in centric and eccentric positions.	BALANCED ARTICULATION
It means an arrangement of the teeth so that in any occlusal relationship as many teeth as possible are in occlusion, and when changing from one relationship to another they move with a smooth, sliding motion, free from cuspal interference and maintaining even contact.	BALANCED ARTICULATION
It is the anatomic curve established by the occlusal alignment of the teeth, as projected onto the median plane, beginning with the cusp tip of the mandibular canine and following the buccal cusp tips of premolar and molar teeth	CURVE OF SPEE (ANTEROPOSTERIOR CURVE)
It is the curve of occlusion in which each cusp and incisal edge touches or conforms to a segment of the surface of a sphere 8 inches in diameter with its center in the region of the glabella	CURVE OF MONSON
It means in mandibular arch, that curve, as viewed in frontal plane, which is concave inferiorly and contacts the buccal and lingual cusps of the mandibular molars.	CURVE OF WILSON (MEDIOLATERAL CURVE)
In the maxillary arch, that curve, as viewed in frontal plane, which is convex superiorly and contacts the lingual and buccal cusps of the maxillary molars.	CURVE OF WILSON (MEDIOLATERAL CURVE)
The curve is formed by the facial and lingual cusp tips on both sides of dental arch.	CURVE OF WILSON (MEDIOLATERAL CURVE)
Anteroposterior curvature (in the median plane) and the mediolateral curvature (in the frontal plane) in the alignment of occluding surfaces and incisal edges of artificial teeth that are used to develop balance articulation.	COMPENSATING CURVES
These curves introduced in the construction of complete dentures to compensate for the opening influences produced by the condylar and incisal guidance during lateral and protrusive mandibular excursive movements, these curves are artificial counterparts of the curve of Spee and Monson, which are found in the natural dentition	COMPENSATING CURVES
It is the side on which the chewing is being done at the movement;	WORKING SIDE
it is the side to which the mandible has moved.	WORKING SIDE
It is the side opposite to the working side.	BALANCING SIDE
It is the side on which, although there is greater separation of the teeth, there is at least one point of contact between the upper and lower teeth.	BALANCING SIDE
It is also the side on which the greater condylar movement has occurred	BALANCING SIDE
