Fixed Pros/Implants Mock Oral Boards Flashcards
1
Q
What’s the purpose/uses of a diagnostic mounting?
A
- Simulation of mandibular movement
- Occlusal plane analysis
- Space analysis
- Diagnostic preparations
- Diagnostic waxings
- Analysis of articulation and disclusion
- Evaluation of tissue and tooth morphology
- Evaluation of ridge relationship
2
Q
Describe a Celenza Class I…
A
- A simple holding instrunebt capable of acepting a single static registration
- Vertical motion is possible
3
Q
Describe a Celenza Class II…
A
- An instrument that permits horizontal as well as vertical motion but does not orient the motion to the temporomandibular joints
4
Q
Describe a Celenza Class III…
A
- An instrument that simulates condylar pathways by using averages or mechanical equivalents for all or part of the motion
- These instruments allow for orientation of the cast relative to the joints and may be arcon or nonarcon instruments
5
Q
What records do a Celenza Class 3a and 3b accept?
A
- 3a: Accepts protrusive record
- 3b: Accepts lateral records
6
Q
Describe a Celenza Class IV…
A
- An instrument that will accept three dimensional dynamic registrations
- These instruments allow for orientation of the cast to the temporomandibular joints and replication of all mandibular movement
7
Q
What is an ARCON type of articulator?
A
- The angle of the condylar inclination relative to the occlusal plane of the maxillary teeth remains constant for all interocclusal positions.
- Condyle on the mandibular element
8
Q
What is a NON-ARCON type of articulator?
A
- The angle changes constantly with changes in the interocclusal positions
- Condyle on the maxillary element
9
Q
What type of Articulator is a Whipmix and what records does it accept?
A
- Celenza 3B
- Arcon
- Semi-adjustable
- Accepts lateral and protrusive records
10
Q
What is the purpose of a facebow?
A
- Relate the maxillary arch to some anatomic reference point or points and transfer that relationship to an articulator
- Anatomic references are mandibualr condyles transverse horizontal axis and one other selected anterior (3rd) point
- Additionally provide an accurate transfer of occlusal and incisal planes to ensure that what the technician sees is the same as what the dentist sees clinically
11
Q
What is the definition of centric relation?
A
- A maxillo-mandibular relationship in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the anterior-superior position against the slopes of the articular eminences. This position is independent of tooth contact.
12
Q
Name 4 clinical techniques to obtain CR records…
A
- Chin Point Guidance
- Bimanual Manipulation
- Leaf Gauge
- Lucia Jig
13
Q
What is Centric Occlusion?
A
- Occlusion of opposing teeth when the mandible is in centric relation
- May or may not coincide with MI
14
Q
What is the ideal occlusal scheme for a dentate pt being restored with fixed restorations?
A
- Mutually protected articualtion in fixed restorations (anteriors protect posteriors in eccentric, posteriors protect anterior in MIP).
- Ideally centric occlusion and MIP should be coincident
15
Q
What factors do you consider when restoring a patient in CR vs. MI?
A
- MI
- Single crown or limited number of fixed restorations
- No change in incisal guidance, VDO, plane of occlusion
- CR slide is not causing problems: minimal occlusal wear, absence of bruxism
- CR
- CR slide is causing or could lead to significant problems:
- wear
- fractured teeth
- fractured porcelain
- When you have good control of occlusal scheme: extensive restorations planned
- Minimal slide, easily corrected by equilibration
- CR slide is causing or could lead to significant problems:
