16
Q

What is the third point of reference for articulators?

A

It is used to complete the plane of condylar position and determine the occlusal plane on the articulator

17
Q

Frankfort Horizontal plane - what landmarks?

A
  1. Orbitale

2. Porion

18
Q

Ala-tragus line (camper’s plane)

A
  1. Inferior border of ala

2. Superior border of tragus

19
Q

Centric Relation

A

Maxillomandibular position in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the most anterior-superior position against the shapes of the articular eminence.

20
Q

MIP

A

Complete intercuspation of all teeth independent of condylar position

21
Q

When do you restore in MI or CO?

A

Restore in MI when patient is satisfied with bite and no occlusal dysfunction. Restoration is only a one or a few teeth
CO - Redesign to ideal occlusion - an increase in OVD planned

22
Q

Alginate impression reaction

A

H2O + Potassium alginate + Calcium sulfate + (Sodium phosphate) -> Calcium alginate + calcium phosphate

23
Q

Gypsum reaction

A

Calcium sulfate dehydrate _ heat -> calcium sulfate hemihydrate (from 2 H2O down to 1/2)

24
Q

How thick is die spacer? What is it’s role?

A

20-40 microns

Provides space for cement and improves seating.

25
Q

A
  1. 10-20 TOC
  2. 4 mm anteriors
  3. 3 mm posteriors
  4. 0.4 ratio
  5. Facial/lingual - proximal line angles need to be preserved
  6. Smooth tooth surfaces enhance fit
