Q

define centric relation

A

the maxillomandibular relation in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks, with the complex in the anterior-superior position against the shapes of the articular eminences. this position is independent of tooth contact. it is restricted to a purely rotary movement about the transverse horizontal axis

56
Q

the correction of stressful occlusal contacts through selective grinding, to correct to normal harmonious jaw function

A

occlusal equilibration

57
Q

benifit of combining occlusal equilibration with restorative dentistry

A

minimize the restorative needs

58
Q

whats worse, mal-occlusion of bad equilibration

A

poor equilibration (may produce new interferences that patient must learn to cope with, creating occlusal awareness and discomfort in teeth, TMJ, and muscles

59
Q

parts of mutually protected occlusion

A

MI: posterior teeth come into contact to minimize horizontal load on anterior teeth
excursive movements of the mandible: anterior teeth guide so posterior dont have lateral or protrusive excursions

60
Q

does disclusion of posterior teeth happen in natural dentistions

A

yes, it is the norm

61
Q

posterior contacts that disclude anterior teeth during lateral excursive movements can cause

A

alter muscular patterns during lateral movements
create primary occlusal trauma, fremitus,
increase likelihood of tooth fracture
development of wear facets
unfavorable loading of the TMHs

62
Q

goals of occlusal treatment

A
  1. direct occlusal forces along the long axes of teeth (stable posterior contacts)
  2. in MI, all mandibular teeth should contact maxillary opponents at same tie with
    same intenisve (CO=MI)
  3. furnish a smooth protrusive path guided by the anterior teeth without any interference from occlusal contacts between posterior teeth
  4. working side contacts, whether canine-protected or group function, should not be prevented from contacting by non-working side interferences.
63
Q

4 parts of equilibration procedures can be divided into 4 parts

A
  1. reduction of all contacting tooth surfaces that interfere with the terminal hinge axis closure (CR)
  2. selective reduction of tooth structure that interferes with lateral excursions
  3. elimination of all posterior tooth structure that interferes with protrusive excursions
  4. harmonization of the anterior guidance
64
Q

the reason for most failures in equilibration

A

improper manipulation of the mandible

65
Q

what is necessary for equilibration to be successful

A

the condyle-disk assemblies must be free to seat in thier most anterior superior positions without any forced displacement when the teeth intercuspate

66
Q

finding Centric Relation

A

no contact of teeth
freely arc mandible without muscle interference with force bilaterally
slowly close mandible by moving it up and down to fist teeth touch (first interference)

67
Q

how to determine the slide for locating occlusal interferences

A

allow for first touch, then squeeze to feel the mandible slide from CR

68
Q

how should a slide be removed

A

such that either conyl is not displaced when CO=MI

69
Q

what produces the anterior slide

A

primary interferences that deviate the condyl forward

70
Q

the basic grinding rule to correct an anterior slide

A

Always MUDL

71
Q

MUDL

A

grind mesial inclines of uppers

grind distal inclines of lowers

72
Q

what to do about interference to the arc of closure

A

MUDL

73
Q

primary interferences that cause the mandile to deviate right or left from the initial contact point to MI

A

Line of closure interferences

74
Q

77
Q

LUBL

A

Grind Lingual incline of upper

Grind Buccal incline of lower

78
Q

does the vertical dimension of occlusion change after equilibration

A

should be the same

79
Q

what can lateral interferences be divided into

A

working and non-working

80
Q

the goal of eleminating non-wrking lateral interferences

A

eliminate all contacts on inclines as soon as the lower teeth move out of MI and start toward the tongue

81
Q

Grinding for Non-working interferences

A

BULL

82
Q

what may happen when elimating non-working lateral interferences

A

working side inclines may appear, and when they are corrected, non-working may re-appear.must do non-working and working together

83
Q

what must you determine for adjusting working side interferences

A

weather group function or anterior guidance

84
Q

what is group function

A

working side inclines are precisely adjusted to harmonize with both condylar movements and anterior guidance

85
Q

why anterior guidance is the occlusion of choice in most patients

A

b/c of its effect on the elevator muscles ( at the momemnt of posterior disclusion, most of the elevator muscles contraction is shut off, reducing the load on both anterior teeth and joints

86
Q

what type of patients will beneift more from a group function in working side excusions

A

patients with large horizontal overlap

87
Q

grind the mesial inclines of the lower
also some hollow grinding of the offending inclines

90
Q

what provides posterior disclusion during protrusion

A

anterior guidance and downward movements of the protruding condyles

91
Q

what type of anterior guidance relies more on condyles for disclusion

A

flat anterior guidance (needs more corrections for protrusive interferences

92
Q

the 3 requisites of contour

A

Mechanical, biological, and esthetics

93
Q

Mechanical requisite for contour is dictated

A

by precise mechanics of intercuspation and mandibular movements

94
Q

biological requisite for contour is because

A

protect the gingivia from the over contouring of the teeth
