Dynamic Occlusion (complete) Flashcards
What are the three planes in which mandibular movement is possible
- Sagittal (anterior/posterior)
- Horizontal (side to side)
- Frontal (up and down) (open close)
What are the two types of contacts caused by movements of the mandible
desirable and undesirable
what are interferences
undesirable contacts
What is an eccentric movement
any movement from maximum intercuspation resulting in tooth contact
what are the three types of eccentric movements of the mandible
- protrusion (anterior movement of mandible)
- retrusion (posterior movement of mandible)
- lateral excursive (side to side movement)
what is centric relation
not a tooth relationship, but a condyle-disk relationshipin which the muscles of mastication are most relaxed
What is centric relation contact
the initial tooth contact after centric relation
after a patient is in centric relation contact, what happens when they squeeze their teeth together?
the mandible will slide foreward or eccentrically depending on the position of the interference
what is occlusal adjustment
AKA selective grinding
the removal of any interference in Centric relation to obtain freedom in centric
what is selective grinding
AKA occlusal adjustment
the removal of any interference in Centric Relation to obtain freedom in centric
Does the Maxilla move
nope, only the mandible
What is protrusion
the mandible moving forward from MIP
What is MIP
maximum intercusptation
What is the desirable contact that occurs in protrusion of the mandible
contact only among the anterior teeth
What is anterior guidance
the way that a protrusive movement of the mandible is guided by the anterior teeth
What are the guiding inclines of the anterior teeth
the parts of the teeth that touch in anterior guidance
- Mx lingual fossa and incisal edges
- Md labial surface and incisal edges
What are the undesirable contacts in a protrusive movement
- the distal inclines of the maxillary lingual cusps against the mesial inclines of mandibular fossae and marginal ridges
- the mesial inclines of the mandibular buccal cusps against the distal inclines of maxillary fossae and marginal ridges
What are protrusive interferences
undesirable contacts that occur in protrusive movements
what happens with the working side condyle and the non-working side condyle in protrusion
both condyles move simultaneously forward and downward along the articular eminence
What are the desirable contacts in protrusion
- the facial surface and incisal edge of the mandibular incisors contacting the lingual fossa and incisal edge of the maxillary incisors
