Q

What is con formative treatment

A

Any restoration that does not change the way the teeth:

25
Where does the jaw slide down when it is opening/ translating
The articular eminence
26
Which muscle pulls the jaw forwards and down?
Lateral ptergoid
27
Name the main muscle involved in closing the jaw
Temporalis Masseter Medial pterygoid
28
Name the steps involved in closing the jaw
Protrusion
29
What is protrusion
The condyles on both side being pulled forwards at the same time
30
Which muscles are involved in protrusion
Lateral pterygoid
31
What term is used to describe the jaw coming forwards as sliding down the articular eminence?
Condylar guidance
32
What does the condylar guidance angle tell us?
Tells us the verticalness of slop of the articular eminence
33
What is the normal range of the condylar guidance angle?
Around 20-70 degrees
34
What do we need to know to be able to measure the condylar guidance angle?
Need to know the start and end points of the condyle
35
What terms do we give to each Side of the mouth when we are describing lateral movement?
1. Working side | 2. Non working side
36
What is the working side
The side our jaw is moving to
37
Describe the condylar movement on the working side
The condyle is moving side ways
38
Describe the condylar movement on the non working side
The condyle is moving forwards and across
39
Which muscle is involved in lateral movement of the jaw
Lateral ptergoid
40
Name the 2 components of lateral movement of the jaw
1. Immediate side shift | 2. Progressive side shift
41
Give examples of some occlusal schemes
1. Canine guidance | 2. Group function
42
What is the immediate side shift
The first slight movement of the jaw to the side
43
What do articulators allow us to do?
Allow us to : 1. Exam the occlusion 2. Fabrication of restorations 3. Investigate proposed changes to the occlusion (eg canine guidance to group function)
44
What does an articulator need to be Abel to represent?
Jaw movements
45
Which jaw movements must an articulator be able to represent?
1. Opening and closing around a hinge axis matching the patient 2. Protrusion with condylar guidance angle match the patient 3. Lateral movements
46
Which part of the articulator do we change to make sure the jaw movements mimic that of the patient?
1. The condyle of the articulator needs to be in the same position as the condyle on the patient 2, The slope the condyle travels down needs to be at the same condylar guidance angle as the patient
47
Name the different types of articulators
1. Hinge 2. Average valve 3. Semi adjustable 4. Fully adjustable
48
What can a simple hinge articulator recreate?
1. ICP | 2. Opening and closing by rotation
49
Which muscle pulls the amndible backwards when opening
The digastric muscle
50
What does the lateral pterygoid muscle do?
It pulls the mandible forward and down
51
What is the lateral ptergoid involved in?
Lateral movement of the jaw | Protrusion
52
What is the simple hinge good for?
Holding the teeth in ICP Which would be useful when making a crown for a canine guidance patient
53
What can an average valve articulator recreate?
1. ICP 2. Opening and closing by rotation and translation 3. Lateral movement
54
State the AVERAGE values for the distaff between condyles
110mm
55
State the AVERAGE values for the distance from condyle to incised edge
110mm
56
State the AVERAGE values for the condylar guidance angle
30 degrees
57
What is a key disadvantage when using average valve articulators
They work on average values only so you can't change the: 1. Distance between condyles 2. Distance from condyle to incised edge 3. Condylar guidance angle
58
What can a semi adjustable articulator recreate?
1. Position of hinge axis 2. ICP 3. RCP 4. Lateral movements
59
What is RCP
The most protruded position of the jaw
60
What tool do we need to use to measure the position of the hinge axis?
Face bow
61
What can we adjust on a semi adjustable articulator?
1. Hinge axis 2. Condylar angles 3. How far the Jaw hoes to the side
62
What can a fully adjustable articulator recreate?
1. Position of the hinge axis 2. ICP 3. RCP 4. Lateral movements
63
What can be adjusted in a fully adjustable articulator
1. All surfaces of the gelled fossa 2. Inter condylar width 3. ISS 4. Progressive side shift 5. Condylar angle
64
What does a face bow do?
It records the position of the hinge axis
65
Which articulator would be best is you are only interested in getting the restoration correct in ICP?
Hinge articulator
66
Which articulator would you use if you were making a denture
Average valve articulator
67
Which articulator would you use if you wanted to ensure that lateral and protrusive excursions not create unwanted interferences
Semi adjustable
