A
  • restorations
  • ortho
  • extractions
  • caries
  • habits
  • tooth wear
  • anterior guidance is variable!
23
Q

What is the definition of anterior guidance angle?

A

the angle formed by the intersection of the horizontal plane and the disclusive pathway of the anterior teeth

24
Q

What is the anterior guidance angle influenced by?

A

vertical overlap
horizontal overlap

25
Q

What happens to the anterior guidance angle with an increased vertical overlap?

A

increased angle

26
Q

What happens to the anterior guidance angle with an increased horizontal overlap?

A

decreased angle

27
Q

What happens if you have an increased anterior guidance angle?

A
  • more vertical component
  • allows steeper the posterior cusps
28
Q

The nearer a tooth is to the TMJ…

A

the more the joint anatomy will influence its eccentric movement and the less the anterior teeth influence its movement

29
Q

What are other factors that influence cusp height?

A
  • plane of occlusion
  • curve of spee
  • mandibular lateral translation movement
30
Q

What is the plane of occlusion?

A

imaginary surface that touches the incisal edges of the incisors and cusp tips of the occluding surfaces of the posterior teeth

31
Q

As the plane of occlusion becomes more parallel to the angle of eminence, the posterior cusps get…

A

shorter

32
Q

What is the curve of spee?

A
  • curve extending from the tip of the mandibular canine along the buccal cusp tips of the mandibular posterior teeth
33
Q

The flatter the plane of occlusion the ______ cusp height

A

greater

34
Q

If the curve of spee has a short radius the angle at which the mandibular teeth move away from the maxillary teeth will be…

A

less than with a long radius
- cusps will be shorter

35
Q

If the plane of occlusion is rotated more anterior…

A

taller cusps

36
Q

If the plane of occlusion is rotated more posterior…

A

shorter cusps

37
Q

The mandibular lateral translation is a __________ _______ of the mandible during lateral movement

A

bodily sideshift

38
Q

What does the inward movement of the mandible depend on?

A
  • morphology of the medial wall of the fossa on orbiting side
  • inner portion of the TM ligament attached to the lateral pole of the rotating condyle
39
Q

If the temporomandibular ligament is very tight then…

A
  • no lateral translation of mandible
  • not common
40
Q

What is the lateral translation movement described in…

A

amount
timing direction

41
Q

The greater the amount of lateral translation the _______ the posterior cusps

A

shorter

42
Q

What are the movements that the rotating condyle makes?

A
  • laterosuperior (shorter cusps)
  • lateroinferoposterior (taller cusps)
  • etc.
43
Q

What has the greatest influence on occlusal morphology?

A

lateral translation timing

44
Q

What are the two types of condylar lateral translation?

A

early translation
late lateral translation

45
Q

What is another name for early translation?

immediate lateral translation (immediate sideshift)

46
Q

What is anther name for late lateral translation?

A

progressive lateral translation (progressive sideshift)

47
Q

If the condyle guidance is steep what happens to cusps?

A

taller

Q

If anterior guidance is greater vertical overlap what happens to cusps?

A

taller

49
Q

If anterior guidance is greater horizontal overlap what happens to cusps?

A

shorter

50
