exam 5 study guide Flashcards
why is the mandible important?
mastication
speech production (only bone in skull that moves)
vermilion-area of the lips
red area
red due to transparent epithelium and blood
cupids bow - area of lips
bow shaped upper boundary of lip
philtrum- area of lip
vertical groove in middle of upper lip
columeila- area of lip
vertical ridges beside philtrum
orbicularis oris muscle
principle muscle that purses lips
mentalis muscle
muscle of chin drawing down corner of lips
originates around mental tuberosity and inserts at corner of mouth
parts of teeth
crown- covered by enamel (1/3)
neck- where crown and root meet
root- covered by cementum (2/3)
deciduous/primary dental arches
20 teeth (5 teeth per half arch)
2 incisors
1 cuspid (canine)
2 molars
permanent dental arch
32 teeth (8 teeth per half arch)
2 incisors
1 cuspid
2 bicuspids
3 molars
Angie’s classifications
classify occlusions or relation of upper and lower jaw by position of teeth
Class I occlusion
normal occlusion
Class II occlusion
distoclusion
overbite
Class III occlusion
mesioclusion/prognathic jaw
underbite
closed bite
back teeth meet and anterior do not
lateral bite
when there is an open bite on one side of the mouth/dental arch
