Question: attrition - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔gradual loss of tooth structure along the biting
surface due to occlusal wear
Question: bruxing - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔oral habit consisting of an involuntary grinding and
clenching of the teeth generally at night when patient is asleep
Question: facets - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔smooth worn areas on the occlusal or incisal surfaces
of teeth resulting from cuspal function during mastication or parafunction
Question: abrasion or erosion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔this can also be called tooth wear, and is
likely seen at the cervical third of a tooth near the gum line that
Question: MIP - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔may or may not be coincident with the centric relation
position of the jaw
, Page 2 of 56
Question: eccentric contacts - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔tooth to tooth contacts that occur when
the jaw moves out of the centric relation position to the right, left, or forward
Question: protrusive movement - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔straightforward movement of the jaw
Question: primary function of the posterior teeth - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔the primary function
of which teeth is to masticate or crush food before swallowing and to support occlusion
Question: primary function of the anterior teeth - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔the primary function
of which teeth is to incise or tear food and to protect the posterior teeth by separating them
when the jaw moves into any of the eccentric positions
Question: remove diseased tissue and replace it while reestablishing proper dental anatomy and
function - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔the primary goal of operative dentistry
Question: Intercuspal position (ICP) or maximum intercuspation (MIP) - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔the complete intercuspation of the opposing teeth independent of the condylar
position
Question: lateral forces - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔forces that are produced when the incisal edges
of the mandibular teeth occlude and glide along the lingual inclines of the maxillary teeth
, Page 3 of 56
Question: equal or slightly less in density - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔adjustments to the occlusion
should be made until all marks on the restoration and natural tooth are:
Question: excursive contacts on posterior teeth - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔these contact marks
which are indicated by marks that radiate out from the centric marks during excursive jaw
movements and SHOULD be removed
Question: buccal upper, lingual lower - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔which cusps are non working
cusps
Question: excursive contacts - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔all of these contact marks should be
removed
Question: stress, friction (attrition or abrasion), and corrosion (erosion) - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔what are the three basic physio-chemical mechanisms that loss of tooth structure
are a result of?
Question: erosion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔tooth wear due to a chemical process, (commonly
acid)
, Page 4 of 56
Question: abrasion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔pathological wearing away of tooth structure by
friction and often associated with faulty or overzealous tooth brushing techniques

Question: Teeth are identified by their location and name, please describe. - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔arch, quadrant, name
Question: Describe the Universal Numbering System for permanent teeth - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Begins from the upper right third molar, continues to the left numbered 1-16. Then
continued onto the lower left third molar, around to the lower right third molar numbered 17-
32.
Question: Describe the Federation Dentaire International System for permanent teeth -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The FDI numbering system identifies teeth by quadrant,then number.
Quadrants are listed as 1-4, UR(1) UL(2) LL(3) LR(4). Teeth are number 1-8 from midline to
posterior. 1- central incisor 3- canine 8- third molar
