5; Clinical Adaptation

Question 1

Which arch should you mount on the articulator first

Answer 1

maxillary

Question 2

What five things should you consider when mounting/fabricating the casts

Answer 2

Facial contours
Vertical dimension
Functional abilities
Patient’s approval
Repeatable centric relation

Question 3

The mandibular occlusal plane is parallel with what

Answer 3

maxillary occlusal plane

Question 4

This is an excellent guide for establishing the height of the occlusal plane. A mark is placed on the land area of the cast to serve as a guide for the posterior occlusal plane height.

Answer 4

retromolar pad

Question 5

This is mandibular jaw position in which the head of the condyle is situated as far superior and posterior as it possible can within the mandibular/glenoid fossa.

Answer 5

centric relation

Question 6

When is CR used

Answer 6

when restoring edentulous patients with removable or either implant-supported hybrid or fixed prostheses

Question 7

Once the buccal and labial contours are established in the patient’s mouth, these three things are recorded intraorally on the maxillary occlusal rim to facilitate orientation of the teeth.

Answer 7

the midline
the cuspid line
the high lip line

Question 8

In the lab exercise, how is the midline determined

Answer 8

by marking the middle of the incisive papillae and marked on the anterior land area of the cast.

Question 9

This is adjusted so that it fits flat to flat against the maxillary rim at the proper vertical dimension.

Answer 9

The mandibular rim

Question 10

The proper vertical dimension is deterred for which reason

Answer 10

This will provide a stable base for the interocclusal relationship of the maxilla to the mandible to be recorded accurately in centric relation.

Question 11

fox plane; the maxillary rim is adjusted so that it is parallel to what

Answer 11

the ala-tragus line and the interpupillary line

Question 12

this running from the ala of the nose to the tragus of the ear verifies that the Fox occlusal plane analyzer is parallel to that line.

Answer 12

tongue blade

Question 13

Teeth look better if they are placed where

Answer 13

in the center of the face

Question 14

Symmetrical face found how

Answer 14

by identifying the center of the upper lip

Question 15

This can be stretched from middle of forehead, across nose, to middle of chin to determine midline for denture teeth.

Answer 15

dental floss

Question 16

Where would to stretch dental floss from to determine canine position

Answer 16

inside corner of the eye

Question 17

Vertical dimension is necessary for the patient to function adequately and especially involving these 5 things

Answer 17

Swallow without interferences.
Speak adequately and clearly without interferences.
Eat adequately without interferences.
Facial contours esthetically pleasing.
Adequate comfort zone at rest.

Question 18

This “letter” sound can be used to help determine the enunciation of words

Answer 18

”s” (count in the 60s)
