Question 261 · LDEK · Physiology of the masticatory system and occlusion
Choose consequences of loss of teeth in supporting zones in case of lack of prosthodontic treatment:
1) excessive approximation of mandible to the maxilla;
2) displacement of mandible condyle in the articular fossa;
3) discoordination of the masticatory muscles;
4) overload of the periodontium of all other teeth;
5) increase in the masticatory capacity.
Correct answer is:
2) displacement of mandible condyle in the articular fossa;
3) discoordination of the masticatory muscles;
4) overload of the periodontium of all other teeth;
5) increase in the masticatory capacity.
