Dental Anatomy Facts Part 3 Flashcards
When the mandible moves from CO to edge to edge, what do the condyles do
Condyles move forward and downward
when the mandible moves from CO to edge to edge, what does the non-working condyle do
moves downward, forward, and medial
What plays the greatest role in discluding the posterior teeth in latero-protrusive movements
Anterior guidance
Teeth are in contact in intercuspal position during non masticatory swallowing or during masticatory swallowing
Non masticatory swallowing
What almost exclusively determines intercuspal position
Tooth contact
What is a tooth guided position and what is a ligament guided position
Tooth guided - Centric occlusion or intercuspal position
Ligament guided - Centric relation
In Posselt’s envelope, what is the most superior point
Maximum intercuspal position = intercuspal position = CO
Bennet Movement
Side shift of the mandible toward the working condyle, the side it’s moving to
When does Bennet movement occur
During the earliest stage of lateral movement
What is postural position
Physiological rest position
About 2mm lower than CO
Is Postral position a border position
no
Mandibular postral position determined almost exclusively by what
mandibular musculature
If you move from postral position to CO, use what muscle
Use anterior fibers of temporalis
Curve of Spee
the Anterior-posterior curvature of the occlusal surfaces as seen in a facial/buccal view
- think weeee, sliding down the teeth
Curve of Wilson
Curved bridge from left to right side inside the mouth
Overjet
Horizontal overlap
- Usual overjet is 2-4 mm
- think jet on the horizon
Overbite
Vertical overbite
-think, you bite up and down
The main component of enamel
inorganic matter
not collagen
Direction of enamel rods in permanent teeth in cervical third
Gingival direction or not towards the incisal/occlusal
rods in cervical third of deciduous teeth run incisal-cervically
Perikymata
Result from the normal enamel apposition - seen on outside surface
-Manifestation of striae of Retzius on enamel surface
Striae of Retzius
Developmental disturbances inside tooth in the enamel
-run obliquely from DEJ to enamel surface
For multi-rooted teeth, where does dentin most rapidly form
at the floor and roof of pulp chamber
Caries stimulates production of what
tertiary dentin
Percentage of dentin that is organic
20-30%
