Ideal occlusion and Selecting Equipment Flashcards

1
Q

What is the ideal occlusion?

A

Distribution of load in the most favourable way
RCP = ICP - when closed posterior teeth contact and anterior teeth have light contact only
Forces directed through the long axis of the teeth
Posterior disclusion in eccentric positions
Mutual protection

Q

Why do we want RCP to equal ICP?

A

When closed the posterior teeth contact and anteriors have light contacts
Occlusal load is directed through the long axis of te teeth
Condyles are positioned to distribute load into the bone with minimal muscular movement

Q

What happens when RCP does NOT equal ICP?

A

Functioning in ICP requires more muscular activity to position the condyle and intraarticular disc
80-90% of population have RCP not equal to ICP
Bruxists may function on the RCP contact
- Damage vulnerable restorations
- Create wear facets on sound teeth

Bruxists may also grind in/from ICP
- Muscular activity increased

Q

Why are forces down the long axis of the teeth favourable?

A 
Distributes occlusal forces favourably
Contacts on inclines result in horizontal forces
- Wear
- Tooth movement
- Bone loss
- Fracture of restorations

Q

What occurs in posterior disclusion? What happens if posterior contacts occur?

A 
Anterior teeth disclude (separate) the posterior teeth 
Avoids lateral forces on posterior teeth 
Working side: group function
NWS interference (undesirable) and protrusive interference (undesirable)

Q

Anterior guidance?

A

Palatal surfaces of upper anteriors dictate the movement - interference occurs on mesial of lower and distal of upper teeth

Q

When restoring a tooth what should you do regarding occlusion?

A

Analyse existing occlusion - know the tooth contacts
Conforming - don’t introduce unfavourable contacts
Reorganising - work to the ideal occlusion
= Know RCP and ICP contacts pre and post op

16
Q

What dictates the movement of the mandible?

A

Position of the condyle in the fossae
Condylar pathway along the articular eminence
Teeth interfere with this border movement

17
Q

What is the only position where the mandible can rotate about a hinge without using the lateral pterygoid muscles to brace the closing muscles?

A

CR

18
Q

What do deprogramming methods depend on?

A

Operator ability
Tooth mobility
Edentulous areas
Difficulty of pt

19
Q

Methods for deprogramming?

A 
Bilateral manual manipulation (dawson technique)
Cotton wool rolls
Anterior jigs 
Gothic arch tracing
Flat plane splint
20
Q

Methods to record CR?

A

Manual manipulation into wax or silicone
Anterior jig with silicone
GAT with silicone

21
Q

Functions of articulators?

A

Hold models in ICP

  • Limit of simple hinge articulators
  • They do not mimic opening movement as hinge is in the wrong place
22
Q

Galetti articulator

A

Do not mimic opening movement as hinge in wrong place

23
Q

Anatomical articulators

A 
Replicate jaw movements = hinge is in the correct place in relation to the teeth. All movements are rotational around an axis.
Necessary to mount models in CR
Average value
30 degree condylar angle
Straight condylar pathway

Semi-adjustable:
Condylar path can be adjusted between 0 and 60 degrees - condylar path is still flat

Fully adjustable:
Custom made condylar pathways
Mechanically replicate the movements of the condyles

24
Q

How to record the relationship

A

Facebow e.g. earbow - external auditory canal used for convenience
Records relationship between condyles and maxillary teeth

25
Q

How to position the models on an articulator?

A

Average relationship

Bonwill triangle

26
Q

Denar automark or combi articulator - used in CCDH - what is the fixed condylar angle?

A

Fixed 20 degree condylar angle

27
Q

What does the equipment depend on?

A

Occlusal scheme
Objectives of tx
Clinician’s skill

28
Q

CD - what is wanted with occlusion? How is this done?

A 
Balanced occlusion
RCP - ICP
Working side contacts
Balancing (non-working) side contacts
Protrusive contacts on incisors and posterior teeth
Facebow transfer (as models moving)
Models mounted in CR
Reproduction of condylar movement - condylar angle, intercondylar width, bennett movement
29
Q

Anterior guided dentition?

A

Discluding teeth:

  • Contact in ICP
  • dISCLUSION ELSEWHERE
  • Rely on anterior guidance rather than the condyle to create disclusion

Facebow transfer
Models mounted in ICP
20 degree condylar angle
Use average bennett movement and intercondylar width
Can also use an average intercondylar width

30
Q

Anterior guided dentition (guiding teeth)

A

Guiding surface on tooth is very important on guiding teeth
Either:
- check in mouth
- copy existing guidance on to articulator
- change guidance

Facebow transfer
Mount models in ICP
20 degree condylar angle
Use average bennett movement and intercondylar width 
Record anterior guidance
31
Q

How to reorganise the occlusion?

A

Facebow transfer
Mount models in CR
20 degree condylar angle
Use average bennett movement and intercondylar width

32
Q

What dentitions require more attention? Why?

A

When posteriors are contacting in protrusive excursions, non-working side excursions
Careful as guidance is on posterior teeth, extensive group function and extreme wear cases

33
Q

What to think about with RPDs?

A

Acceptable OVD
Stable ICP - if no stable icp or ovd mount in CR to reorganise
Large edentulous area - look to see if anterior guidance is possible, if not default to balance occlusion for denture stability

34
Q

What do to with splints?

A 
Establish ideal occlusion on splint
Facebow transfer
Mount models in CR
20 degree condylar angle
Use average bennett movement and intercondylar width
35
Q

Facebow uses?

A

To ensure incisal plane angle is correct

Ensure correct model height on articulator = has a relative effect on the condylar angle
