Linear Occlusion Flashcards
What are the 3 main things denture wearers desire from prosthesis?
- Esthetics
- Comfort
- Function
Alfred Gysi developed what?
Balanced occlusion, 33 degree teeth, lingualized occlsuion
Sears concept proposed what?
Proposed the use of balance ramps for non anatomical teeth.
cusp occlusion the contact between the opposing surfaces of any two teeth occurs in ____ dimensions.
Cusp occlusion= 3 dimension contact
Fully anatomic teeth
Length, width, height
In flat plane occlusion, the contact between two opposing posterior teeth occurs in ____ dimensions.
Flat Plane= 2 dimensions
Monoplane teeth
Length, Width, no cusps
Linear occlusion is a ____ dimensional contact between two opposing posterior teeth
Linear occlusion= 1 dimension
Monoplane max + sharp cusp on mand
Length; straight blade contactt
WHat kind of occlsuion is used for porceline teeth?
Linear oclussion
length only
What kind of occlsuion?
3 dimensional occlsion
Fully/Semi anatomic teeth
What kind of occlsuion?
2 dimensional occlsuion
monoplane teeth
What occlusion?
One dimensional occlusion
Monoplane max + Sharp buccal cusp
**straight, long, narrow occlusal form resembling that of a line, usually articulating with opposing monoplane teeth.
Linear occlusion; frush
The contact on a linear occlsuion occurs where?
At the length of the contacting blade
What are three parameters of linear occlusion?
- 0 degree flat plane teeth oposed by **bladed teeth **
- One arch is monoplane
- No anterior interference
In a ____ occlsuion
* Plane of occlusion is steeper
* Esthetics & phonetics determin max anterior tooth postion
* Mandibular denture less stable
Linear occlsuion
With linear occlusion, articulating forces are in a ____ stabilizing direction
Vertical stabalizing direction
leads to discomfort
Linear occlusion works better without an ____ in dentures.
Better without an overbite
= ugly
