What is an implant analogue? Other names
Replicates the implant for use in the cast, other names: abutment analog, fixture replica, lab analogue, fixture replica
Causes of an open margin
Excessive proximal contact - residual interim luting agent, inaccurate restoration
White spot in cervical surface
incipient caries
Sterilization of burs
Autoclave: submerged in 2% sodium nitrate solution
Why is it imp to remove debris (amalgam) from the external surface of the handpiece?
During instrument sterilization, this material may be heated and can release mercury liquid or vapor
Trismus after LA injection is likely due to
Injury to the medial pterygoid muscle
Muscle that DEPRESSES the mandible
Lateral pterygoid
Where does the temporalis originate
Lateral surface of the skull
Where does the temporalis insert
Coronoid process and anterior border of the ramus
Temporalis innervation
Temporal nerve (branch of the mandibular)
Temporalis vascular supply
Middle and deep temporal arteries
Temporalis function
elevates and retracts the jaw, helps in rotation, active clenching
Origin of masseter muscle and insertion
Origin: zygomatic arch, insertion: angle of the mandible
Masseter innervation
Masseteric nerve (division of trigeminal)
Masseter vascular supply
Masseteric artery (branch of maxillary)
Masseter function
Elevates and protracts jaw, assists in lateral movements, active in clenching
Medical pterygoid origin and insertion
Origin: pterygoid fossa and medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate, insertion: medial surface of the angle of the mandible
Medial pterygoid innervation
medial pterygoid nerve (division of trigeminal)
Medial pterygoid vascular supply
Branch of maxillary artery
Medial pterygoid function
Elevates jaw, causes lateral movements and protrusion
Super lateral pterygoid origin and insertion
Origin: infratemporal surface of the greater wing of sphenoid, insertion: articular capsule and disk, neck of the condyle
Sup. lateral pterygoid innervation
branch of masseteric or buccal nerve
Sup. lat pterygoid vasc supply
branch of maxillary artery
sup. lat. pterygoid function
positions disk in closing
