| abnormal or malpositioned relationship of the maxillary teeth to the mandibular teeth | malocclusion |
| maxillary anterior teeth to protrude over the mandibular anterior teeth | Class II malocclusion (istocclusion) |
| causes the mandibular anterior teeth to protrude in front of the maxillary anterior teeth | Class III malocclusion (mesiocclusion) |
| Preformed thin wire is placed within the bracket to provide a pattern for the dental arch to take its shape from and to guide the teeth in movement | arch wire |
| Ligature ties that have been spot welded at the tip form hooks for the attachment of elastics | Kobayashi hooks |
| 0.010-gauge wire used to “tie” in arch wires | stainless steel ligature tie |
| when can brushing begin | As soon as the first tooth appears |
| a negative reproduction of dental structures | impressions |
| most accurate reproduction of the teeth and surrounding tissues | final impression |
| Core buildup Pin retention Post and core | provide additional support to crown if tooth severely decayed |
| fixed bridge | recommended when one or multiple teeth are missing in the same quadrant |
| components of fixed bridge | unit, pontic, abutment |
| inlay | Covers a portion of the occlusal and proximal surface |
| Covers proximal surfaces and most or all of the occlusal surface | onlay |
| Completely covers the anatomic crown of an individual tooth | full crown |
| osseointegration | living cells of bone grow around dental support; takes 3 to 6 months |
| titanium | implants and abutments commonly made from this |
| endosteal | most common type of implant |
| hydroxy-apatite | ceramic substance that promotes osseointegration |
| subperiostial | implant is a metal frame place UNDER the periostium on top of bone |
