Lecture 9 Flashcards
What is the approximate cost for six month smiles?
-$3000-4,500
What is the first key to normal occlusion?
-Molar relationship
where should the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar be in ideal occlusion?
-In line with the buccal groove on the mandibular first molar
What is the second key to normal occlusion?
-Crown angulation or tip
What is the angle between the long axis of the brown and a line bearing 90 degrees from the occlusal plane?
-Degree of crown tip
T/F Normal occlusion is dependent upon proper distal crown tip, especially of the upper anterior teeth since they have the longest crowns
True
What is the third key to normal occlusion?
-Crown incliniation
What is a plus reading in crown incliniation?
-If the gingival portion of the crown is lingual to the incisal portion
What is the fourth key to normal occlusion?
-Teeth should be free of undesirable rotations
What is the fifth key to normal occlusion?
-Tight contacts
What is the sixth key to normal occlusion?
-Occlusal plane
What should the curve of spee look like?
-Flat to slight curve
What is the ideal overbite that you want a patient to have?
1-2 mm
What is a class I occlusal relationship?
-Triangluar ridge of the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar articulates with the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar
Where does the maxillary canine lie in a class I occlusion?
-Between the mandibular canine and first premolar
What is a class II occlusal relationship?
-The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar falls approximately between the mandibular first molar and the second premolar
