mandibular movement Flashcards
inital movement
1) pure hinge movement
after opening the mouth
1) jaw translates
protrustion
1) mostly translation
lateral movement
1) some rotation, some translation in various axes
2) working side is laterotrusive (rotating)
3) nonworking side is mediotrusive (orbiting)
condyle disc ligaments
1) slack in collateral ligaments and shape of medial wall may allow some medial/lateral freedom at condyle articular disc mandibular fossa area
immediate mandibular lateral translation
1) bennett movement / immediate side shift
2) immediate lateral translation on working side during lateral movement
- also has lateroretrusion, etc. etc.
3) 0-3 mm, mean 1 mm
if >1 mm imddiate lateral translation
1) posterior cusps short
2) central groove wide
3) reduce interference
laterosurtrusion
1) shifts up and out
2) posterior cusps are short
laterodetrusion
1) shifts down and out
3) posterior cusps are long
bennet angle
1) difference between straight protrusive and laterotrusive movement on the non working condyle
condylar guidance
1) slope of articular eminence
2) 20 to 30 steeper than occlusal plane
3) condylar path is curved (10 mm radius)
4) dentist cannot change
christensens pehnomenon
1) gap occurring in opposing posterior teeth in dentate patients or occlusal wax rim
- depends on how steep the articular eminence is
functional horizontal overlap
1) 0-0.5 mm ideal
functional vertical overlap
1) 1 mm ideal
