Q

why are palatine injections painful

A

mucosa is tightly bound to the bone so when the fluid is injected into the tissues there is very little space for it to move into, causing a build up of a pressure and pain to the mechanoreceptors

96
Q

give 4 reasons why the canines are ideal for lateral excursion guidance

A

Morphology – very strong tooth with long roots
Favourable crown:root ratio
Distant from the hinge of the mandible
Distant from the powerful muscles of mastication

97
Q

why are anterior teeth ideal for protrusive excursion

A

furthest away from masseter so less force

furthest away from hinge so less force due to moments

98
Q

why is it ideal to have RCP = ICP

A

condyles and muscles are working in their most physiologically stable position whilst the teeth are occluding which spreads load across most teeth rather than single or small groups of teeth

why is a cusp-fossa relationship important

A

increase longevity and long term stability as it

prevents horizontal forces on the tooth and its root

100
Q

what checks must we make when placing a restoraiton

A

BEFORE AND AFTER
restoration not too high
Contact in ICP
Maintaining contacts on all other teeth - we are not changing the occlusal schemes.
Fitting our restoration with the existing scheme.
Contact in protrusion or laterotrusion? In most cases no, unless the tooth we are restoring previously had these contacts
Skeletal/Incisor/Angle classifications
Signs of occlusion issues? Wear facets, craze or fracture lines, fremitus.
Occlusal vertical dimension – can often be decreased due to tooth wear
