What is the proper term when the maxillary juts out beyond the sagittal plane, causing a misalignment of occlusion?
  1. Maxillary prognathism
  2. Maxillary malocclusion
  3. Balanced articulation
  4. Mandible articulation
Explanation
Answer: A - When the maxillary juts out beyond the sagittal plane causing a misalignment of occlusion, it is a maxillary prognathism. When this condition is not due to geographical phenotypes or heredity, it may be due to injury or disease. Micrognathism is a condition in which the jaw is undersized and should not be confused with maxillary prognathism.
