Q

what is the anterior guidance angle influenced by

A

vertical overlap and horizontal overlap

23
Q

what does increased VO do to anterior guidance angle? increased HO?

A

increased VO: increases it
increased HO: decreases it

24
Q

the nearer a tooth is to the TMJ, the ____ the joint anatomy will influence its ecentric movement and the ____the anterior teeth influence its movement

A

more; less

25
Q

what are other factors that influence cusp height

A

-plane of occlusion
-curve of spee
- mandibular lateral translation movement

26
Q

as the plane of occlusion becomes more parallel to the angles of eminence the posterior cusp tips must be made _____

A

shorter

27
Q

what is the curve of spee

A

-anteroposterior
- curve extending from the tip of the mandibular canine along the buccal cusp tips of the mandibular posterior teeth

28
Q

with a short radius the curve will be more _____ than with a longer radius

A

acute

29
Q

the flatter the plane of occlusion the ____the cusp height can be

A

greater

30
Q

if the curve of spee has a short radius: the angle at which the mandibular teeth move away from the maxillary teeth will be ____ than with a long radius , therefore the cusps will need to be _____

A

less; shorter

31
Q

if the plane of occlusion is rotated more anterior:

A

-more teeth anterior to perpendicular line
- taller cusps

32
Q

if the plane of occlusion is rotated more posterior

A

-more teeth posterior to perpendicular reference line
-shorter cusps

33
Q

what is the bennett movement

A

the mandibular lateral translation is a sideshift of the mandible during lateral movements

34
Q

what does how much inward movement there is depend on

A

-morphology of the medial wall of the fossa on the orbiting side
inner portion of the TM ligament attached to the lateral pole of the rotating condyle

35
Q

describe the TM ligament

A

-very tight
- pure arcing movement around the rotating condyle
- no lateral translation of the mandible
-not common

36
Q

in lateral translation movement, the more medial the medial wall is from the condyle___

A

the more lateral translation movement

37
Q

the lateral translation movement is described in

A

-amount
-timing
-direction

38
Q

the greater the amount of lateral translation the ____the posterior cusps must be

A

shorter

39
Q

what does laterosuperior movement require about cusp tips

A

shorter

40
Q

what does lateral inferior movement allow about cusp tips

A

taller

41
Q

43
Q

what is late lateral translation called

A
  • progressive lateral translation or progressive sideshift
44
Q

45
Q

the more immediate the movement the -___the cusps must be

A

shorter

46
Q
