A

Lateral pterygoids

22
Q

What muscle functions in translation?

A

Lateral pterygoids

23
Q

In what movement do Both condyles translate; Condyles move forwards and downwards; Condyles move down the posterior slope of the articular eminence

A

Protrusive movement

24
Q

The ______ is the only joint in the body capable of moving in three dimensions.

A

temporomandibular joint

25
Q

When a condyle moves in a _______, it goes over the medial wall of the glenoid fossa

A

Lateral translation

26
Q

During, the angle is influenced by the ______ of the articular eminence.

A

posterior slope

27
Q

The condylar angle measured via lateral movement is influenced by the ______ of the articular fossa (non-workingside)

A

steepness of the medial wall

28
Q

once the condyle begins to move in any direction, it is no longer ______, it will begin to move either forward or laterally in the fossa.

A

rotating

29
Q

An immediate lateral shift of the working condyle is called

A

Immediate side shift

30
Q

A slower lateral shift of the working condyle is called

A

Progressive side shift

31
Q

During a lateral movement, this is the condyle on the side towards which the mandible moves–A.k.a. rotating condyle

A

Working side condyle

32
Q

This is the condyle on the side opposite to which the mandible moves–A.k.a. orbiting condyle

A

Non-working side condyle

33
Q

_____ condyle moves downwards, forwards and medially Moves over the steeper medial wall of the articular fossa; Can record the condylar angle from this movement also; Condylar angle is usually slightly steeper than when recorded in protrusion

A

Non-working side condyle

34
Q

_____ condyle mainly rotates around a vertical axis (it does not move out of the articular fossa)

A

Working side condyle

35
Q

Sometimes the orbitingside condyle does not simply rotate but also shifts laterally during the lateral movement.This lateral movement of the orbiting side condyle is called the _______

A

Bennett movement.

36
Q

Bodily shift of the mandible toward the working side during lateral excursion

A

Bennet’s movement

37
Q

The _____ the teeth are to the working condyle, the shorter will be the cusp height

A

closer

38
Q

______ is the angle formed by the sagittal plane and the path of the advancing orbiting condyle during lateral mandibular movement as viewed in the horizontal plane.

A

Bennett angle:

39
Q

Angle at which the condyle moves away from a horizontal reference plane; can be recorded (estimated) on a patient; Can be recorded via a protrusive movement or via lateral movements

A

Condylar angle

40
Q

What is the plane of reference for the condylar angle?

A

Frankfort’s horizontal plane

41
Q

_____ is The angle formed by the intersection of the protrusive and non-working condylar paths as viewed in the sagittal plane.

A

Fischer’s angle

42
Q

The difference between the condylar angle recorded with a protrusive and lateral record; Medial wall of articular fossa is generally steeper than the posterior slope of the articular eminence (5-10°0

A

Fischer’s angle

43
Q

45
Q

What are the teeth you want touching during protrusive movements?

A

46
Q

A

Anterior teeth

47
Q

48
Q

Class ___ lever will create the least stress to the anterior teeth

49
Q

The closer to the fulcrum a tooth is, the ____ force it will have
