Exam 2 Flashcards

1
Q

Anterior Guidance

A

Influence of the contacting surfaces of anterior teeth on tooth limiting mandibular movements. The steepness of the lingual surfaces of max anterior teeth determines the amount of vertical movement of the mandible.

A

Mandibular guidance generated by the condyle and articular disc traversing the contour of the glenoid fossa. It depends on the steepness of the articular eminence.

Q

Primary goals of equilibration or selective grinding

A
  1. With the condyles in CR (musculoskeletal stable position) and the articular discs properly interposed, all possible posterior teeth contact evenly and simultaneously between centric cusp tips and opposing flat surfaces.
  2. When excursive movements happen, laterotrusive contacts on the anterior teeth disocclude the posterior teeth.
  3. When the mandible is protruded, contacts on the anterior teeth disocclude the posterior teeth

2 purposes

74

2 purposes of synovial fluid

78
Q

One joint system TMJ

A

Tissue that surround the inferior synovial cavity (condyle and articular disc). The disc and its attachment to the condyle is called the condyle-disc complex and is the responsible for the rotational movement in the TMJ

79
Q

Second system TMJ

A

Made up of the condyle-disc complex functioning against the surface of the mandibular fossa. Translation occurs in this superior joint cavity between the disc and the mandibular fossa

80
Q

No, but contact must be maintained for join stability

81
Q

How is Stability of the joint maintained?

A

Constant activity of the muscles

82
Q

3 important principles of the biomechanics of the TMJ

A
  1. Ligaments do not actively participate in the normal function of the TMJ
  2. Ligaments do not stretch, they ELONGATE
  3. Articular surfaces of the TMJ must maintain constant contact (produced by muscles of mastication (elevator))
83
Q

Mechanics of mandibular movement

A

Rotation
Translation

84
Q

Rotation

A

Occurs as movement within the inferior cavity of the joint. Between the superior surface of the condyle and the interior surfaces of the articular disc.
Can occur in all 3 planes, 20-25 mm

85
Q

Translation

A

Occurs when the mandible moves forward. Happens within the superior cavity of the joint between the superior surface of the articular disc and the inferior surface of the articular fossa.
