lectures Flashcards
what are dental stones made of
dental gypsum
how are articulators deisgned
to look like and act like that of the normal jaw (TMJ)
how does the jaw move during protrusions
forward and downward so we shoot for a 30 degree angle for the articulator eminence
how does the universal occlusal mounting stand mount the maxilary cast
to bodwins equalateral triangle
The geometric (Non-anatomic) school of articulator design
School of articulator design that denied the existance of condylar axes and disregarded
the condylar paths as influences on occlusion and instead claimed that the articulation of teeth guides the mandible during mastication
what are features of articulators from the condylar (Anatomic) school of thought
Adjustable condylar guides
Average value instruments
Bonwill triangle theory
The size of the mandible is equal to 10 cm (4 inches) from condyle to
condyle and from each condyle to the incisor point.
what forms the balkwill angle
Is formed between the occlusal plane and Bonwill triangle (~26˚)
Curve of spee
“The relationship between the curved arrangements of the occlusal planes of natural teeth and the corresponding curves of the condylar paths.”
The molar masticatory surfaces lie on the same arc of a circle. Theposterior continuation of which touches the most anterior point of the condyle.
curve of spee
where is the location of the axis of the curve of spee
The location of the axis of that cylinder’s curvature is at the level of the horizontal mid-orbital plane.
what did carl Christonson discover
the space between the maxilla and mandible during protrusion
how did monson describe a method for setting denture teeth
used bonwill’s equilateral triangle conforming to the surface of a sphere
where is monson center of rotation
4inches from the 3 corners of the bonwill triangle to create a radius of a sphere
describe the curve of wilson
In the theory that occlusion should be spherical, the
curvature of the cusps as projected on the frontal plane expressed in both arches; the curve in the lower arch being concave and the one in the upper arch being
convex.
Rupert E. Hall’s Conical Theory of Mandibular Movement (describes the modern articulator)
The external occipital protuberance was considered as the anatomic rotation center of mandible.
what gives the anatomic and functional harmony in the occlusal stability
balance between elevator and depressor muscles
stongest muscle in the body
masseter (80Kg of force
muscles of mastication
masseter digastric temporalis lateral pterygoid medial pterygoid
where does the temporalis insert
inserts to coranoid process of mandible and anterior ramus
lateral pterygoid inserts
in condylar process and disks
action of lateral pterygoid
protrussion
move jaw sideways
what muscle must be past through to get to the lingual nerve
the medial pterygoid
the biconcave disk for the head of the condyl for friction
joint capsul/disk
parts of the conyl
has a medial and lateral pole
the working side for lateral movements of the mandible``
pivoting side
Bennett’s movement
A cone shapped structure where the pivoting/working condyl can go
