Class 2: Malocclusion
Class 3: Malocclusion
What are the 3 classes of dental occlusion?
100
This is a point of attachment for other muscles of the soft palate.

100
The 3 cavities of the pharynx.
What is the nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharyngeal?
100
This makes up the inferior pharynx and is divided into 2 parts.
What is the Inferior pharyngeal constrictor?
200
The incisors, cuspids, bicuspids, and molars.
What are the 4 types of teeth?
200
This makes up the bulk of the soft palate and innervates the XI Accessory and X Vagus nerves.
What is Levator Veli Palatini?
200
When contracted, these muscles contribute to constricting action that assists in deglutition.
What are pharyngeal muscles?
200
This constricts superior oriface of esophagus and is set into vibration during the esophageal stage.
What is the Cricopharyngeus?
300
This part of the tooth is hidden beneath the gingival (gum) line?
What is the root?
300
This is considered more of a Eustachian Tube dilator and courses down and medially
What is Tensor Veli Palatini?
300
This is like a tube that pulls the pharyngeal wall forward and constricts the pharyngeal diameter.
What is the Superior Pharyngeal constrictor?
300
This originates on the oblique line of thyroid lamina and reduces diameter of lower pharynx.
What is the Thyropharyngeus?
400
This part of the tooth is the ivory of the tooth.
What is the dentin?
400
This makes up the muscle of anterior faucial pillar and either elevates the tongue or depresses the soft palate
What is the Palatoglossus?
400
This is the landing pad for the soft palate.
What is the Passavant’s pad?
400
This is innervated by the XI glossopharyngeal nerve and is originated on the styloid process of the temporal bone.

500
This class of malocclusion is when the mandible looks to be RETRACTED. The first mandibular molars are retracted at least one tooth from the first maxillary molars and can be the result of micrognathia.
What is Class II Malocclusion?
500
This forms the posterior faucial pillars and narrows the pharynx and lowers the soft palate
What is the Palatopharyngeus?
500
This narrows the diameter of the pharynx and originates at the horns of the hyoid bone.
