lingualized occlusion

Question 1

advantages of lingualized occlusion

Answer 1

esthetics, better penetration of food bolus,decreased vertical and lateral forces, simpler technique, can be used in a wide vairety of patients, can be used with class 2 and 3.

Question 2

cusp locations in lingualized occlusion

Answer 2

lingual cusp of maxillary molars occlude in central fossa of mandibular teeth.

Question 3

what tooth is dropped in a class 2 lingualized occlusion arrangement?

Answer 3

mandibular first PM

Question 4

what tooth is dropped in class 3 lingualized occlusion?

Answer 4

maxillary first PM

Question 5

mandibular cusps in lingualized occlusion

Answer 5

are shallow which allows the forces to be centered over the mandibular ridge

Question 6

maxillary anatomic teeth have what degree of inclination?

Answer 6

33

Question 7

mandibular teeth in lingualized occlusion

Answer 7

can be steep condylar guidance( shallow cusped), or shallow condylar guidance( non-anatomic teeth)

Question 8

when settin the mandibular 2nd molar by what degree must it be elevated from the occlusal plane?

Answer 8

15

Question 9

what should the space measure between the buccal cusps?

Answer 9

~1mm

Question 10

whats the IIF rule?

Answer 10

if you have contacts on the inner inclines of functional cusps, they are in balance

Question 11

what are functional cusps again?

Answer 11

cusps that occlude with the opposing central fossa.

Question 12

whats important about the horizontal overlap in lingualized occlusion?

Answer 12

make sure it prevents biting of cheek and corner of mouth

Question 13

all maxillary except which 2 should be on the plane of occlusion?

Answer 13

lateral incisor and cuspid

Question 14

should the anterior teeth be in contact during excursions in lingualized occlusion?

Answer 14

yes they should be barely touching

Question 15

what curvatures are used in lingualized occlusion to develop a balanced occlusion?

Answer 15

anteroposterior curvature and mediolateral curvature

Question 16

whats the curve of monson?

Answer 16

its basically a sphere with its center at the glabella. the cusps and incisal edges of natural teeth touch a segment of the curve of monson

Question 17

curve of spee

Answer 17

touch the tips of all mandibular teeth when the skull is viewed laterally.

Question 18

factors that affect occlusal balance are

Answer 18

condylar balance, incisal guidance, angulation of occlusal plane, compensating curves, cusps on teeth or inclination of cuspless teeth,
