4/17: Determinants of Occlusal Morphology II Flashcards
What do horizontal forces influence?
The direction of the ridges an grooves on the occlusal surfaces, and also the placement of the cusps
What does it mean that the mandible moves medially?
Right mediotrusion means that the right condyle moves medially (same as left lateral movement)
What is the non working pathway called?
Mediotrusive pathways
What does it mean that the mandible moves laterally?
Right laterotrusion means that the right condyle moves laterally (same as right lateral movement)
- right lateral, mediotrusion left
A: non-working pathway or mediotrusive pathway
What are the working pathways also called?
Laterotrusive pathways
What are horizontal factors?
- distance from the rotating condyle
- distance form the midsagital plane
- amount of mandibular lateral translation
- intercondylar width
Horizontal factors are the effect of distance of the tooth from the ________ and ___________
Rotating condyle; midsagittal plane
Horzontal movements are the effect of what three things?
- Effect of distance of the tooth from the
- rotating condyle
- midsagittal plane - Effect of mandibular lateral translation movement
- Effect of intercondylar distance
The greater the distance of the tooth from the rotating condyle, the _______ the angle formed by the working and non working pathways
Wider
- same in the mandible and maxilla
Most of the times teeth that are closer to the midsagittal plane will be at ___________ distance from the rotating condyle
Greater
What do teeth that are positioned more anteriorly in the jaw (premolars) tend to have?
Greater angles between mediotrusive and laterotrusive pathways compared to teeth that are positioned more posteriorly (i.e., molars)
What does the angle formed by the working and non working pathways increase?
The amount of lateral translation increases
- the direction of the lateral translation also influences the angle
- same in the mandible and maxilla
The angle formed by the working and non working pathways _________ as the intercondylar distance ___________
Decreases; increases
Describe composite movements in a cusp fossa relationship
What is another term for working interfering contact?
Laterotrusive contacts
What is another term for non working interfering contact?
Mediotrusive contacts
What are three components of the masticatory system?
Mastication
Swallowing
Speech
What is mastication?
Initial stage of digestion
What is control of the central pattern generator?
Rhythmic separation and closure of the teeth
- autonomic/involuntary- can be controlled voluntarily
