Arch Design, VDO, Centric Relation Flashcards
The potential space between the lips and cheeks on one side and the tongue on the other; that area or position where the forces between the tongue and cheeks or lips are equal.
Neutral Zone
Where tooth stability is achieved
Neutral Postion
Occluding surfaces fabricated on interim or final denture bases for the purpose of making maxillomandibular relation records and arranging teeth
Contoured to fill neutral zone
Occlusal Rim
What are 3 purposed of occlusal rims?
- Maxillow mandibilar relation records
- Teeth arangement
- Support lips
the bony portion of the maxilla and the mandible in which roots of the teeth are held by fibers of periodontal ligament
denture replaced this
Alveolar Bone
In what direction does the maxilla resorb?
Up & inwad
* Become smaller
In what directon does the mandibular bone resorb?
Out and down
progressivley wider and thinner
This progressive change of the edentulous mandible and maxilla makes many patients appear
Prognathic or pseudoprognathic
Trends in mandibular residual ridge
Anterior?
PM?
Molar?
more resorbtion on
* Anterior= labial
* PM= equal on buccal & lingual
* Molar= lingual
The net morphological result of mandibular ridge resorbtion is ?
Ridge more lingually placed anteriorly, and ridge more buccaly placed on posterior region.
How do you compensate for mandibular ridge resorbtion with occlucal rim?
- Make occlusal rim labial to ridge inthe anterior PM area
- Rim slightly lingual to ridge onmolar area
Tongue size and postion during function affects stabilit of ____ denture
mandibular denture
optimal neutral zone determination is still ____ for speech and esthetic purposes.
manditory for speech and esthetic purposes
Where does maxillary residual ridge resorbtion occur?
Labial and buccal so ridge is usally paletal to original location
This force occurs at the jaw-to-jaw position that is determined by a consistent, repetitive contracted length of the elevator muscles.
* Present throughout tlife
* Erupt until smth stops them
Tooth Eruptive force
Postion where teeth hit together, the tightest or best fit between maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth.
Maximum Intercuspation (MIP)
The complete intercuspation of the opposing teeth ____ of condylar position.
independent
The distance measured between two points when the occluding members are in contact
Verticle demenstion of occlusion VDO
occurs at maximum intercuspation, regardless of condyle position, when teeth are together.
VDO
The determinant of VDO is the _____
Elevato Muscles
VDO is measured from
zygoma to the angle of the mandible (B).
What should the upper and lower heights of the face be?
Approximally equal!
WHat can be a result of collapse of VDO?
Bite collapse! Usually a result of endentulousness
