Fixed Exam 1 Flashcards
What is Mutually Protected Occlusion?
Posteriors protect anteriors and vice versa
How do posterior teeth protect anterior teeth from a design perspective?
(3 things)
Posteriors have more roots
Occlusal table is larger
Orientation of the teeth is oriented along the vertical axis
How do anterior teeth protect posterior teeth?
Disengage posterior teeth in mandibular excursive movements (canine guidance) - LONGEST ROOT
Moves fulcrum forward (less force)
Muscles
Why is it important to disengage the posterior teeth in excursive movements?
Prevent cusp breaks
The disengagement of posterior teeth in mandibular excursive movements is done by…
Canine guidance
When multiple posterior teeth are touching, this is called…
Group function
maximum intercuspation
How are anterior teeth designed to protect posterior teeth?
Canine has LONGEST ROOT and therefore takes lateral forced better
Fulcrum
Muscles - reduction of elevator mm. activity
How does moving the contact point anteriorly effect the force applied to the tooth?
Further away from fulcrum, the less force applied
When occlusal forces are moved forward to the anterior teeth, what feedback shuts off elevator muscles to decrease force?
Proprioceptive from the PDL
What discludes the posterior teeth in laterotrusive movements?
What discludes the posterior teeth in protrusive movements?
Canines
Incisors
Occlusal trauma is defined as exceeding the adaptive and reparative capacity of the _______
peridontium
Abnormal/Excessive occlusal forced acting on the teeth with Normal periodontal support
Primary Occlusal Trauma
Primary occlusal trauma can be from a barfight or ….
Iatrogenic
*filling too high
Normal occlusal force with decreased periodontal support is _____ Occlusal Trauma
Secondary
What are the 4 signs/symptoms of occlusal trauma?
Pulpitis
Mobility
Fremitus
Widened PDL
What is the difference between Mobility and Fremitus?
Fremitus is vibration in occlusion (more vibration than adjacent tooth)
*Fremitus can lead to mobility
Average width PDL:
0.17 mm
Class I tooth mobility:
Class II tooth mobility:
Class III tooth mobility
0.2 to 1 mm
greater than 1 mm
greater than 1 mm + axial displacement
How would you treat Primary occlusal trauma?
Reduce forces
*back to MPO
How would you treat Secondary occlusal trauma?
Splint teeth (sharing forces)
*cross-arch stabilization
If all posterior teeth are removed you are likely to see….
Primary Occlusal Trauma
The mesial buccal cusp of a Mandibular tooth occludes with the ______ of the corresponding maxillary tooth.
MMR - mesial marginal ridge
The distal buccal cusp of the Mandibular tooth occludes with _______ of the corresponding maxillary tooth
Central Groove
Where do the maxillary functional cusps occlude?
Buccal of lower
