Q

What programmes dynamic occlusion and how?

A

Central Pattern Generator (CPG)

Adapts into teeth as much as possible, negotiating interferences and hard to change pathway once CPG imbedded

Q

How may functional occlusion by adapted and not adapted to?

A

Adapted if functional pathway restored
Can adapt through tooth wear or loosening of teeth
No adaption when incorrect guidance or palatal surfaces are too convex

Q

What static occlusion goals want to be achieved?

A

Simultaneous bilateral stable posterior contacts apically directed, protecting anterior teeth from splaying
Want cusp fossa relationship

Q

What are the condylar movements in jaw opening?

A

20mm of opening - hinge opening

Condyle then translates down articular eminence to open further

Q

Why is a 1.Arcon and 2.Non-arcon articulator and their use?

A
  1. Articulated condyle (e.g.Whipmix) - common in fixed pros to replicate hinge movement of mandible and for changes in OVD
  2. Non-articulated condyle (e.g.Dentatus) - used for removable pros

Q

Why is a face bow used for a semi-adjustable articulator?

A

Facebow allows maxillary casts to be in relation to the condyles in dynamic occlusion

Q

Why is dynamic occlusion inaccurate from a simple hinge articulator?

A

Simple hinge rotation axis not anatomical - it is lower down

Q

What does the Kois face bow measure?

A

Facial midline and aesthetic plane

17
Q

What is the difference between 1.conformational and 2.reorganisational approaches with occlusion?

A
  1. Fitting in with existing occlusion and ICP
  2. Where original ICP can not be used due to lack of inter-occlusal space: worn dentition, missing teeth (no replacement = dento-alveolar compensation) and complete overbite patient
18
Q

What reference point is used when reorganising the occlusion?

A
New reference point 
Centric relation (seated condyle) is always a reproducible position as it is joint position and nothing to do with teeth
19
Q

What is RCP?

A

Tooth to tooth position

First contact of teeth when condyles are in centric relation (on the retruded arc of closure)

20
Q

How does a pt go from RCP into ICP?

A

90% of people slide from RCP to get their teeth to maximally interdigitate into ICP

21
Q

When is the RCP-ICP slide changed?

A

To gain anterior space by changing OVD

Preparing tooth involved in slide, most commonly last tooth in arch (7)

22
Q

If a large horizontal slide, not planned, what can happen due to the changed RCP?

A

Muscles deprogramme/relax
Neuromuscular functional pathway lost
Condyles seat into centric relation
Mandible drops back and can lead to increased OJ/ anterior open bite

23
Q

What are the manipulation techniques of finding centric relation?

A

Bimanual
Chin point
Schuyler technique - tongue to roof of mouth - reproducible

24
Q

What are the anterior midpoint stop appliances of finding centric relation?

A

Lead gauge - block for anterior teeth to bite on, therefore back teeth out of occlusion, allows slide
Kois deprogrammer
Gothic arch tracing - when missing lots of teeth

25
Q

How is centric relation recorded?

A

Teeth apart, not in RCP

Beauty hard wax or silicone reg material (Blu Mousse) used

26
Q

What is distalising the mandible and equilibrating it?

A

What to put patient into centric relation
To gain anterior space by utilising a horizontal slide
Equilibrating by tooth preparation, therefore RCP=ICP

27
Q

What bur is used to removed ceramic crown?

A

Diamond

28
Q

What bur is used to removed metal crown?

A

Tungsten-carbide
