CH5: FB & CR Flashcards
A faulty occlusal plane upsets the equilibrium between
the tongue and the ______muscles
buccinators muscles
Occlusal Plane Too low:
- “Denture look” or reverse smile
* Could lead to tongue and cheek biting
Occlusal Plane Too high:
• The tongue will not be able to rest on the lingual cusps of the lower
posterior teeth to prevent displacement
• The tongue will be raised up and thus raise up the floor of the mouth
allowing for partial loss of border seal
• Greater accumulation of food in the sulci
Function of area “A”
esthetic & speech
NOT functional demands
When viewed from the front, the occlusal plane
should be parallel to the ____ (plane/line)
interpupillary line
The _____ is the most controversial landmark in
occlusal plane orientation.
ala-tragus line
However, this extra-oral landmark is reliable as both
its ends do not change with age.
location of the condyle?
11 to 13 mm
anterior to the posterior border of
the tragus
on the tragus-canthus line
limit of negligible error for location of condyle
6mm radius (+/-3 mm)
Arbitrary hinge position
11-13 mm forward of tragus on the tragus-canthus line
i.e location of the condyle
Thus facebow permits
an ↑ or ↓ VDO of ___mm using
the original articulator
FB & CR mounting
3mm
If a Facebow is used __ mm of mand path can be predicted
6mm
If a Facebow is used __ mm of path can be predicted at ↑in VDO
3mm
same for ↓ VDO
VDO can be changed on the articulator.
T/F
T
(during tooth try-in or
clinical remount,
if needed)
Transverse Horizontal Axis of FB: An imaginary line around which the mandible may rotate
within the _______ plane
sagittal plane
Facebow
Transfers the position of the maxilla in relation to the condyle (transverse horizontal axis) and the reference plane (based on the third point of reference) Orientation of the incisal plane in relation to inter-pupillary line
problem with using simple hinge articulator
-puts the hinge in the wrong position in relation to the
maxillary plane – and thereby the axis of rotation.
-Mounted cases will have a different arc of closure
resulting in
-greater adjustments after insertion
MIP or Maximal Intercuspal Position:
complete intercuspation of the opposing teeth
independent of condylar position
