Classification Standards Flashcards
Predominantly Base Alloys
Noble Metal Content <25%
gold + platinum group
Noble Alloys
Noble Metal Content >=25% (gold + platinum)
Titanium/Ti Alloys
Titanium >= 85%
High Noble Alloys
Noble Metal Content >= 60% and gold >= 40%
Noble metal content means gold + platinum
Noble Metal Content group is what elements?
What about the subgroup?
Gold + Platinum group
Platinum, palladium, rhodium, indium, osmium, ruthenium
Swenson’s Formula (for tooth selection)
Cusp Angle = Incisal Guidance + 1/2 (Condylar Guidance - Incisal Guidance)
Theilman’s Formula
Balanced Occlusion (C) =…
C = Condylar Inclination x Incisal Guidance / Occlusal plane x cusps inclination x Comp curve
If you adjust the condylar guidance, what impact can this have on occlusal form of restorations?
Cusps may be taller or shorter (Vertical)
Adjusting inter condylar distance will have what impact on occlusal form?
The greater the distance, the smaller the cusp grooves and fossa will have to be.
Adjusting anterior guidance will have what impact on occlusal form?
Posterior cusps may be taller or shorter (vertical)
Adjusting the plane of occlusion will have what impact on occlusal form?
The flatter the plane of occlusion, the shorter the posterior cusps will be (vertical)
Adjusting the curve of spee will have what effect on occlusal form?
Vertical (the greater the curve, the taller the cusps can be)
Lateral translation adjustment will have what effect on occlusal form?
The greater the translation, the wider the cusp grooves and fossa will have to be
Horizontal determinants of occlusion (4)? How does adjusting each affect occlusal form?
- Distance from rotating condyle
- Distance from midsagital plane
- Lateral translation movement
- Intercondylar distance
Vertical determinants of occlusion (5)? How does adjusting each affect occlusal form?
- Condylar guidance
- Incisal guidance
- Occlusal plane
- Curve of spee
- Lateral translation movement
