Jaw Relation Flashcards
which JR is the most critical?
Vertical JR
eccentric relation?
any relation other than centric is eccentric
Vertical JR
length of the face as determined by the separation of jaws
what is jaw relation?
JR is the relation of maxillat to mandible
what is camper’s line?
Ala-tragus line (ala of nose and tragus of ear)
Freeway space
- space b/w teeth at rest
-VDR-VDO= freeway space
-2-4mm
in which plane is vertical JR recorded
frontal plane
Why is JR recorded?
to measure extensibility + movements permitted by TMJ w/o harm
types of VJR
1.Vertical dimension at rest
2. ……………………………..at occlusion
Define orientation JR
mandi in most post. position, rotate in sagittal plane around an imaginary transverse axis passing through or near condyles
overbite?
vertical overlap b/w max nd mandi incisors
1mm
Horizontal JR
relation of max nd mand in horizontal plane
increased vertical JR causes
- cheek biting
- increased trauma to denture bearing areas
- increased lower facial height
- stretches facial muscles
Plane of occlusal rim should be ___________________ ( in relation to Maxilla
parallel to plane of maxilla
How do you verify max. rim
using a fox plane
VDO?
length of face when teeth/ occlusion rims are in contact/ mandi in centric relation
