Q

What does using a facebow result in?

A

Q

What is centric relation?

A

The position of the mandible in which the condyles are in the most
superior and anterior position in the articular fossae, resting against the posterior slopes of the articular eminences with the articular discs interposed

Q

What is centric relation for edentulous patients used as?

A

The reference position on which the casts are articulated
- used because it can be verified and it is repeatable
- jaw position and it is independent of teeth position

Q

What are the goals of occlusion for CRP?

A
  • Minimize trauma to supporting structures
  • Preserve/maintain remaining structures
  • Promote stability of the dentures
  • Improve speech and esthetics
  • Restore mastication to a reasonable level

Q

What is monoplane occlusion (neutrocentric)?

A

An occlusal arrangement where the posterior teeth have masticatory surfaces that lack any cuspal height
- posteiror teeth do NOT have cusps
- teeth are arranged on a flat occlusal plane

16
Q

In monoplane occlusion, what is the occlusal plane parallel to?

A

Mandibular ridges and NOT related to the TMJ anatomy

17
Q

What are other parameters of monoplane occlusion?

A
  • Occlusal plane is completely flat; there is no curve of Spee or Wilson
  • No vertical overlap of anterior teeth
  • Patients will have to conform to a vertical pattern of mastication
18
Q

What does the centralization of occlusal forces result in?

A

More forgiving occlusal scheme

19
Q

What are monoplane occlusion advantages?

A
  • Occlusal forces are centralized over the ridges and lack of cuspal inclines results
    in a more forgiving occlusal scheme
  • Provides the patient more freedom in mandibular movements
  • Simpler technique in arranging prosthetic teeth and making occlusal adjustments
20
Q

What are monoplane occlusion indiciations?

A

Severly resorbed ridges
Skeletal class II, III jaw relations and crossbites

21
Q

What are monoplane occlusion disadvantages?

A
  • Least esthetic scheme and limiting on the arrangement of anterior teeth
  • Difficulty in food penetration (cuspless teeth)???
  • Instability of prostheses in excursive movements and possibly in CR???
22
Q

What are excursive movements of non-balanced monoplane occlusion?

A
  • posterior teeth on the working side are contacting
  • posterior teeth on the non-working (balancing side) are not contacting
23
Q

What is lingualized, non balanced occlusion?

A
  • Cuspless mandibular posterior teeth arranged on a flat plane
  • Only maxillary lingual cusps are in occlusion with central fossae areas of
    mand posterior teeth
  • All the advantages of the monoplane occlusion and improved esthetics
24
Q

The majority of UMKC prosthodontic treatment use what?

A

Lingualized, non-balanced occlusal scheme
- cuspless mand posterior teeth arranged on a flat occlusal plane

25
Q

What is lingualized, non balanced occlusion?

A

Lingual cusps of maxillary posterior teeth are occluding with central fossae areas of mandibular posterior teeth (bilaterally)

26
Q

What is biateral occlusion?

A

Bilateral simultaneous occlusal contacts of the anterior and posterior teeth in excursive movements

27
Q

What are types of occlusion for removable complete prosthodontics?

A
  1. Monoplane/Neutrocentric
  2. Lingualized (type of balanced occlusion where only the L cusps of
    the max teeth occlude with the mand teeth in CR/MIP and
    excursive movements)
  3. Balanced
28
Q

When arranging anterior teeth, what are ways to establish a balanced occlusal scheme?

A

INCREASE VO overlap -> INCREASE anterior guidance angle
INCREASE HO overlap -> DECREASE anterior guidance angle

29
Q

What does decreasing the anterior guidance angle facilitate?

A

Establishing balanced occlusion

30
Q

What are 5 factors that affect balanced occlusion?

A
  • Condylar Inclination
  • Incisal Guidance
  • Occlusal Plane Inclination
  • Compensating Curve
  • Cuspal Inclination
31
Q

Is “balance” necessary?

A
  • Numerous studies and reports on this subject in the dental
    literature
  • Consensus of the studies:
    No patient preference
    No study could prove that Balanced Occlusion is superior to other
    Occlusal Schemes
    Balanced Occlusion appears slightly more efficient in mastication
32
Q

What are anterior teeth arranged to satisfy?

A

Esthetic and phonetic requirements

33
Q

Occlusal contacts made on anterior teeth only in excursive movements in the attempt to do what?

A

Minimize stress/forces applied to anterior ridges
