define prosthodontics
dental specialty that deals with restoring missing oral and para-oral structures.
what knowledge is needed for prosthodontics
development, anatomy, and fuction of the stomatognathic system
what are the two types of movements of the mandible
rotation
translation
3 planes of mandibular movement
frontal/coronal
midsagittal
transverse
Where does rotation of the mandible occure
terminal hinge axis/transverse horizontal axis (THA)
where is the terminal hinge axis/transverse horizontal axis(THA)
the imaginary line connecting the two condyls
how long does the mandible rotate
20-25 mm of incisal separation
when doing lateral protrusion, what side is working and non-working
working: slight lateral translation (the side on the direction movement)
non-working: travels forward and medial
travel of the condyls in strait protrusive movement
both condyles move dowards along their eminenceies
travel of condyles along the eminence in lateral movement
non-working (downward and medial)
working (rotate, lateral and up or lateral and down)
who described the movement of the mandible in the 3 planes of movement
ulf posselt
the range of movement of the mandible envelope of rotation
envelope of motion
the starting reference point for he envelop of rotation
between the mandibular 2 central incisors
When the mandible is guided to centric relation, the arc traced by the point between 2 mandibular central incisors
centric relation arc of closure
at any point along the centric relation arc of closure, the mandible is at
centric relation
a spacial relation of one bone to another
Centric relation
define centric relation
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
when the mandible is manipulated upward on the centric relation arc of closure until tooth contact occurs
centric occlusion
where does centric occlusion occur in 90% of the population
one or 2 maxillary or mandibular teeth
what are the first contacts to contact in centric occlusion
initial points of contact
what parts of mandibular and maxillary teeth contact at the initial points of contact
max: mesial
mand: distal
to go beyond initial contact, is the mandible still in centric relation
no, slides out of it due to shape of posterior inclines
when all teeth touch
maximal intercuspal position/ maximal intercuspation( MI)
the slide between centric occlusion and maximal intercuspal position
centric slide
is restorations easy if Centric occlusion is the same as maximal intercuspal position
easy (slide makes it hard)
what dictates protrusion from the maximum intercuspal position
mandibular anterior teeth ride along the lingual concavity of the maxillary teeth until tip to tip.
after, contacting posterior teeth determine movement until maximum protrusion is reached
maximum opening range
50-60mm between incisors.
after maximum opening, what does the mandible do to reach Centric relation
translation and rotation back to Centric relation arc of closure
what represents the border movement of the mandible
sagital plane tracing
size of the functional boarder movements
small area
the normal closing of the mandible
habitual arc of closure
problem with the habitual arc of closure
not as reproducible since it is not a boarder possition
where is the physiological rest position of the mandible
lies on the habitual arc of closure, where all the muscles are at the state of equal relation
the separation of the teeth at the physiological rest position
interocclusal rest distance
the distance between 2 points in the mouth during maximal intercuspation
vertical dimension of occlusion
the distance between 2 points in the mouth during physiological rest
vertical dimension at rest
determining the interocclusal rest distance
Vertical dimension at rest- vertical dimension of occlusion
the protrusive path the lower incisors must follow due to anterior teeth contact
incisal guidance
