LBBO and Monoplane Occlsuion Schemes Flashcards
The bilateral, simultaneous, anterior and posterior occlusal contact of teeth in centric and eccentric positions
balanced occlusion
Is a balanced occlsuion seen in natural dentition?
No. Only preffered in dentures because it prevents tipping during parafunctional movments
What are 2 ways balanced occlusions acheieved?
- Anatomic posterior teeth
- Non antomic posterior teeth + balancing ramp
what are 4 requirments of balanced occlsuion?
- All teeth of working side in contact should glide evenlyagainst oposing
- No single tooth contacts
- Contacts on balancing side, but should not interfere with gliding of wokring side.
- Simultaneous contact on working side.
If for cosmetic purposed, there is anterior overlap of teeth what is required to prevent tipping of denture in portrusive movment?
Balancing ramp required
Balanced occlusion is important to maintain the stability of the denture. Hence, balanced occlusion is more critical during ______.
parafunctional movements
ex. mastication, bolus in= less balance
Often seen in crown, bridges, fix partial dentures.
occlusal surfaces of teeth on one side occlude simultaneously with a smooth, uninterrupted glide
Unilateral balanced Occlsuion
not for dentures
type of occlusion that is seen when simultaneous contact occurs on both sides in centric and eccentric positions.
- distributes occlusal force evely
- imporve stability
- At least 3 points of contact, more better
Bilateral Balanced occlsuion
dentures
Present in portrustion, the occlusal contacts are smooth and simultaneous anteriorly and posteriorly.
* At least 3 contacts
* Only in dentures
Portruisive balanced occlusion
Where are the 3 contacts on portrusive balanced occlsuion?
- 2 posterior
- 1 anterior
a minimal simultaneous three point contact (one anterior, two posterior) present during lateral moment of the mandible.
Lateral balanced Occlusion
only dentures
What are 3 disadvantages of balanced occlsuion?
- Difficult to acieve with anterior overlap
- Can encourage lateral and portrusive grinding
- Adjustable articulator required
Main characteristic of LBBO
In the posterior, Maxillary molar lingual cusp articulate with the central fossa of the mandibular molars.
What degree of teeth in LBBO?
- 33 degree fully anatomic max posteriors
- 0 degree monoplane non anatomic mandibular posteriro
Wegding effect prevent displacment
What does LBBO allow for?
Allow for cosmetic anatomic maxillary posterior teeth
