C. 2
D. 2
E. 1

62
Q

What is Right LIOP?

A

The right condyle is in CR, so the jaw diverts to the right to go into MI

A

The left condyle is in CR, so the jaw diverts to the left to go into MI

64
Q

What is the sagittal condylar path in protrusive movements?

We can study the condyle in a ______ or ______ view but not in a ______ view.

  • Frontal
69
Q

What muscle is the laterality movement produced by?

70
Q

The non-working side, despite its name its condyle works more. True or False

A

True

71
Q

What is the Bennett angle?

A

It is the angle formed between the sagittal plane and the average path of the advancing condyle on NWS as viewed in the horizontal plane during lateral mandibular movements.

72
Q

Average of the Bennett angle

A
  • In the very beginning 7.5-12.8 degrees, it will decrease depending on the movement
  • When we are edge to edge the value is 15 degrees
73
Q

What is more frequent regarding the working side of the laterality movement; that it only rotates (mediotrusion) or that it rotates and moves outwards (laterotrusion)?

A

That it rotates and moves outwards, to allow its rotation on a vertical axis

74
Q

What is the Bennett movement?

A

It is defined as the bodily lateral movement or shift of the mandible resulting from the movements of the condyles along lateral inclines of the mandibular fossa during jaw movement.

75
Q

What are the 2 references to Bennett’s movement?

A
  • The bodily lateral movement of both condyles
