Lecture 1 Terms

Question 1

Anterior Guidance

Answer 1

influence of contacting surfaces of anterior teeth on tooth limiting mandibular movement

Question 2

Group Function

Answer 2

multiple contact relation btw maxillary and mandibular teeth in lateral movements on working side

Question 3

Protrusion/ Protrusive Movement

Answer 3

position of mandible anterior to centric relation

Question 4

Left Lateral excursion

Answer 4

-rotation of left side of condyle and forward, inward, and downward translation of non-working condyle

Question 5

Right Lateral Excursion

Answer 5

rotation of the right or working side condyle and forward, inward, downward translation of the non-working condyle

Question 6

Laterotrusion

Answer 6

movement of condyle on working side in the horizontal plane

Question 7

mediotrusion

Answer 7

movement of non-working condyle medially

Question 8

Bennett Movement

Answer 8

mandible shifts toward working side (0.75 mm)

Question 9

Bennett Angle

Answer 9

angle btw anterior and medial movement of non-working condyle and the straight protrusive path

Question 10

Functional Movement

Answer 10

Chewing, swallowing, talking within confines of movement

Question 11

Maximal intercuspal position

Answer 11

complete intercuspation of teeth independent of condylar pos. (varies with individual)

Question 12

Centric occlusion

Answer 12

occlusion of teeth when mandible is in centric relation (may or may not coincide with max. intercuspal position)

Question 13

Centric position

Answer 13

position of mandible when jaws are in centric relation

Question 14

Retruded contact

Answer 14

can be more retruded than centric position

guided relation when condyles are most retruded

Question 15

Postural position

Answer 15

any mandibular relationship during minimal muscle contraction

Question 16

occlusal vertical dimension

Answer 16

distance btw 2 points (nose, chin) when teeth occlude

Question 17

rest vertical dimension

Answer 17

distance btw nose and chin when mandible is at rest position

Question 18

Interocclusal distance

Answer 18

distance btw occluding surface of maxilla and mandible when mandible is at a specific position

Question 19

Interocclusal rest space

Answer 19

difference btw vertical dimension of rest and vertical dimension while in occlusion

Question 20

Transverse horizontal axis

Answer 20

how mandible rotates in sagittal plane like a hinge

Question 21

hinge movement

Answer 21

movement in space characterized by 2 divergent points

Question 22

translator movement

Answer 22

linear (gliding) motion with no stationary axis of rotation

Question 23

Border movement

Answer 23

most extreme position a mandible can move (not affected by posture)

Question 24

Working side

Answer 24

side toward which the mandible moves in lateral excursion

Question 25

nonworking side

Answer 25

moves toward median line in lateral excursion

Question 26

balanced articulation

Answer 26

bilateral, simultaneous, anterior and posterior occlusal contact of teeth in centric and eccentric position

Question 27

mutually protected articulation

Answer 27

posterior teeth prevent excessive contact of anterior teeth in maximal intercuspation
