Q

What is physiologic rest position?

A

a postural position the mandible assumes when all muscles that close and open the jaws are in a state of minimal tonic contraction sufficient only to maintain posture

Q

What are the options for establishing occlusal vertical dimension?

A
  • patient’s old dentures
  • swallowing treshold
  • closest speaking space
  • phonetics
  • esthetics
  • tactile sense
  • paralleling posterior ridges
  • pre-ext records
  • facial measurements

Q

What is the closest speaking space?

A

the closest relationship of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges of the mandibular teeth to the maxillary teeth during function and rapid speech (S sounds)

16
Q

What is a reproducible posterior hinge position of the mandible?

A

centric relation

17
Q

What are the 3 objectives for recording jaw relationships?

A
  1. maxillary cast mounted to the correct axis by a facebow transfer
  2. mandibular cast mounted in CR position to the max cast
  3. casts mounted at the correct vertical distance from each other to allow teeth to be arranged, bases placed in the mouth and teeth occlude at that vertical dimension
18
Q

What do you need to make sure to remove from the record bases after trying it on the patient?

A

remove the adhesive (could disrupt the master cast)

19
Q

What are the factors that affect the centric relation record?

A
  • resiliency of the tissue supporting the denture bases
  • stability and retention of record bases
  • the TMJ and its neuro muscular mechanism
  • technique employed in making the records
  • amount of pressure applied in making the records
  • skill of the dentist
20
Q

What is a facebow?

A

Instrument that carries the relationship between the maxillae and the condyles from the patient to the articulator

21
Q

What is an arbitrary facebow?

A

an arbitrary axis is used (external auditory meatus, etc)

22
Q

What is a kinematic facebow?

A

the exact transverse hinge axis is located and used (not necessary for dentures)

23
Q

What is the purpose of the facebow transfer?

A

to orient the maxillary cast to the articulator in the same relationship to the opening/closing axis of the articulator as exists between the maxillae and the opening/closing axis of the TMJ of the patient

24
Q

When should the facebow transfer be used?

A
  1. cusp form posterior teeth are used
  2. balanced occlusion in eccentric positions is desired
  3. interocclual records are used to verify jaw positions/cast mountings
  4. the OVD is subject to change
25
Q

What are the characteristics of the semi-adjustable articulator?

A
  • accepts facebow record
  • accepts interocclusal record
  • has individually adjustable condylar guidances (vertical and horizontal)
