1 - VDO Introduction, Jaw Relation Records, Gothic Arch Fabrication Flashcards
jaw relation records are taken during which appointment
appointment 3
what is used to determine where teeth ome together in completely edentulous patients? what cannot be used?
occlusion determined by joint position and anatomical landmarks
MIP can no longer be used
wax rims are adjusted for what
esthetics, phonetics, and function
what is determined intraorally to determine patient VDO
freeway space
CR record is made with ___ and then articulated with ___
wax rims; face bow
natural teeth are suspended into bone by ___ which acts as shock absorber
PDL
denture deeth are part o denture base which rests on what
movable/displaceable tissues
premature, deflective contacts between artificial teeth cause movement of denture resulting in what
damage to supporting tissues
what are the goals of complete deture occlusion
- limit trauma to supporting tissues
- preserve remaining structures
- creaete stability of dentures
- restore esthetics, speech and mastication (function)
what type of occlusion for edenlous pt
bilateral balanced occlusion
what are simultaneous contacting of the maxillar y & mandibular teeth on the right & left in the anterior & posterior occlusal areas when the jaws are in centric or eccentric relations
bilateral balanced occlusion
in order to establish balanced occlusion, we must transfer patient’s maxilla-mandibular relationship to what
semi-adjustable articulator
what records the orientation of the maxilla to the terminal hinge axis
face bow (ear bow)
what provides the same relative opening axis on the articulator as the mandible to the TMJ
terminal hinge axis
what is a hypothetical line thru two mandibular condyles around which the mandible may rotate
hinge axis
what is difficult to determine in edentulous patients and requires special armamentarium (fully adjustable articulator)
true hinge axis
arbitrary hinge axis will place the position how many mm of the true hinge axis
+/- 6 mm
ear bows use what as reference point for arbitrary hinge axis
external auditory meatus
what refers to the length of the face
vertical dimension
what is the distance between 2 points (a fixed point at tip of base of the nose and on the movable mandible, usually chin)
vertical dimension
what is the length of the face when the teeth are separated and the mandible is in physiologic rest position
VDR
is VDR equal to VDO
NO
what is campers plane
bottom of ala of nose to top of tragus
what is interpupillary line
line drawn parallel from right pupil to left pupil
nasolabial angle # averages for men and women
men: 90-95 degree
women: 95-105 degree
how many mm below the lip line should the mx wax rip contour be
102 mm below lip line
should mx wax rim protrude the lip?
NO! should have natural nasolabial angle
should mx wax rime be longer than commissure
no
do male or female show more tooth exposure with relaxed lip
females
do male or female have longer lip and have less visible teeth
males
T/F: the younger the person, the mx anterior teeth are less visible
FALSE! the older the person!
what can be used to verify length of maxillary wax rim
fricative sounds. mx wax rim should contact wet dry line on lower lip with “f” sounds
