The _________ point is the exact spot where two adjacent teeth actually touch each other.
There are ___________ teeth in a quadrant of the permanent dentition and 5 teeth in a quadrant of the primary dentition.
The __________ surfaces of the teeth are the mesial, distal, facial, lingual, and masticatory. The surface of mastication on the posterior teeth is the occlusal; on the anterior teeth, it is the incisal.
In the Universal/National System, the ____________ teeth are numbered from 1 to 32 starting at the upper right third molar.
The crown of the tooth _________ toward the cervical line.
The maxillary and mandibular arches are each divided into halves; the resulting four sections are called ____________.
There are 20____________ teeth (permanent teeth that replace the primary teeth), the same as the number of teeth in the primary dentition.
The premolars and molars are the ___________ teeth.
The upper teeth are set in the maxillary bone, commonly called the _________.
The maxillary arch and mandibular arch are the two_________ of the mouth.
The___________dentition period begins with eruption of the first permanent tooth.
The ____________surfaces are surfaces that are adjacent to each other. For example, the mesial surface of the second premolar and the distal surface of the first premolar are proximal surfaces.
__________ contact helps to prevent food from being trapped between the teeth is one purpose. Proper contact also stabilizes the dental arch by holding teeth in positive contact with each other and protects the interproximal gingival tissue from trauma during chewing.
The 8 premolars are used primarily for chewing and grinding food, they are also referred to as ___________.

The permanent __________ are nonsuccedaneous teeth because they do not replace any primary teeth. All permanent molars erupt posterior to the primary molars.
_____________ occlusion occurs when the jaws are closed in a position that produces maximal stable contact between the occluding surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth.
Occlusion is defined as the ______________between the maxillary and mandibular teeth when the upper and lower jaws are in a fully closed position.
If a dentist uses the ______numbering system and charts #11, #12, #53, #54, and #18 teeth as being present in the patient’s mouth, the patient is approximately 8 to 9 yrs of age.
The incisors and canines make up the ____________teeth.
The _____________/National System, approved by the ADA in 1968, is the tooth-numbering system used most often in the United States.
___________ teeth are also known as the primary or “baby” teeth.
The premolars and molars are used for ___________ and grinding food.
Centric _____________ is the standard for normal occlusion. It occurs when the jaws are closed in a position that produces maximal stable contact between the arches.
The primary dentition consists of incisors, canines, and molars. There are no ___________ in the primary dentition; they are only in the permanent dentition.
In the permanent dentition, the teeth are from incisors to ____________ to premolars to molars.
The permanent maxillary first molars are used as the to occlusion and malocclusion in Angle’s classification system.
