lec 4 Flashcards
EXTRAORAL OBSERVATIONS (6)
- Appearance
- Bearing and manner
- Gait (manner of walking)
- Facial color, sweating
- Any obvious swelling or disproportion of face
- Wearing eyeglasses, hearing aids
From the hairline, to the levels of the condyle, to the angles of the jaw, the sides of the face are straight and parallel.
A. The SQUARE Face
Is widest at the hairline and narrowest at the angles of the jaw. The lines on the sides of the face converge in towards the jaw.
B. The TAPERING Face
Is widest through the center at the level of the condyles. It curves upward and downward to form an oval outline
C. The OVOID Face
From the hairline down to the condyles, the sides of the head are parallel.
From the condyles down to the angle of the mandible along the sides of the face, the outline tapers to the angle of the jaw.
D. The SQUARE Tapering Face
FRONTAL FACE FORM CLASSIFICATION (OUTLINE OF THE FACE)
According to House & Loop, Frush, Fisher & Williams:
a. Square
b. Tapering
c. Ovoid
d. Square Tapering
LATERAL FACE FORM CLASSIFICATION
ACCORDING TO ANGLE
* Class I – Straight form
* Class II – Retrognathic
* Class III – Prognathic
- Examined by viewing patients from the side.
FACIAL PROFILE
- Profile is obtained by joining two reference lines:
o Line joining the nasion (X) and the deepest point in the curvature of the upper lip (A) subnasion
o Line joining point (A) and the most anterior point of the chin (B) (pogonion)
two lines nearly form a straight line.
- Class I – Straight form -
lines form convexity towards tissues.
- Class II – Retrognathic
lines form an angle with concavity towards tissues.
- Class III – Prognathic
LIPS CLASSIFICATION (5)
- Lip Length ( long, medium, short)
- Lip Thickness (thin or thick)
- Lip mobility
o Class I normal
o Class II reduced mobility
o Class III paralysis - Smile or Lip line (High lip line, low lip line, normal)
- Lip support (adequate or inadequate)
- Ability to perform various mandibular movements.
Neuromuscular Coordination Classification
Neuromuscular Coordination Classification (3)
o Class I – excellent
o Class II – fair
o Class III - poor
TMJ (3)
- Pain or difficulty in mouth opening
- Uncoordinated jerky movements
- Tenderness, clicking or crepitus.
Mucous Membrane (4)
- Color
- Firmness
- Painful area
- Thickness
What is cheek essential for?
- Essential for peripheral seal due to placement of tissues over the buccal flanges of the denture
- Commonly seen lesions on Cheek
- Lichen planus
- Submucosal fibrosis
- White lesions
- Malignancies
Tongue size (4)
Ø Class I = Complete visualization of the soft palate.
Ø Class II = Complete visualization of the uvula.
Ø Class III = Visualization of only the base of the uvula.
Ø Class IV = Soft palate is not visible at all.
can affect the prognosis of the mandibular denture.
Floor of the Mouth
- Near or at level of the ridge crest
Floor of the Mouth
- Hyperactive floor
Floor of the Mouth
- Ridge resorption so great that the floor of the mouth ___________________
in the sublingual gland and mylohyoid region spill onto the ridge.
o Denture insertion and removal difficult and painful.
Maxillary Tuberosity
Undercut (unilateral or bilateral)
o Back end of occlusal plane may be placed too low.
o Not enough space to set all molars.
Maxillary Tuberosity
Enlarged
