12 final Flashcards
the factors that determine the pattern of mand movement are:
TMJs and anterior teeth
to maintain harmony the posterior teeth need to pass close but ________ the opposing teeth during mand movement
not contact
(posterior controlling factors)
1. the angle at which the condyles move away from a horizontal reference plane is referred to as the=
- the condylar guidance is considered to be a ______since in the healthy patient it is unalterable
condylar guidance angle
fixed factor
(anterior controlling factors)
1.the ______determine how the anterior portion of the mand move
- as the mand protrudes or moves laterally, the incisal edges of the mand ant teeth occlude with
- the steepness of the lingual surfaces determines the amount of _______movement of the mandible
- anterior teeth
- the lingual surfaces of the max anterior teeth
- vertical movement
the anterior guidance is considered to be a _______rather than a fixed factor. it can be altered by:
variable
altered by pathologic conditions (caries, wear, dental procedures)
we want posterior teeth to pass close to, but not contact opposing teeth during mand movement
superio-inferior movement (vertical component)
the length of a cusp and the distance it extends into the depth of an opposing fossa depends on:
1
2
3
- anterior controlling factor of mand movement
- posterior controlling factor of mand movement
- nearness of the cusp to those controlling factors
vertical determinants control the function of the superior-inferior movement and influence the factor of:
cusp height and fossae depth
horizontal determinants influence the ________on the occlusal surfaces and the _____________in the horizontal plane
direction of grooves and ridges
placement of the cusps
6 vertical determinants:
- curve of spee
- condylar guidance
- anterior guidance
- nearness of the cusp to the controlling factor
- plane of occlusion
- mand lateral translation movement
posterior controlling factors:
fixed factors
condylar guidance
the two TMJs
as the mandible is protruded, the condyle descends along the articular eminence
condylar guidance
angle at which the condyle moves away form the horizontal reference plane
condylar guidance
when the mandible makes a __________movement, the condylar guidance angle is greater than when the mandible makes a ____ movement
lateral (greater)
protrusive
the steeper the eminence:
- the more the condyle must move inferiorly
- there is greater vertical movement
- it allows for steeper posterior cusps
the steeper the angle of the eminence, the steeper the
cusps
anterior controlling factors:
anterior teeth and anterior guidance
what determines how the ant portion of mand moves
anterior teeth
ant guidance is altered by:
1
2
3
4
5
6
- restorations, ortho, ext, caries, habits, tooth wear
the anterior guidance angle is formed by the intersection of the ______and the ____of the anterior teeth
horizontal plane
disclusive pathway
