Midterm 1 Flashcards
what type of articulator do we have?
mark 320 articulator
how many working positions does the mark 320 have?
3
the DENAR FLEXTRACK of the mark 320 articulator provides _____
flexibility
the occlusal stand relates the working cast to what?
bonwill’s equilateral triangle
what are the two inclinations of the occlusal stand
- 0 degrees
- 10 degrees
what do you use to secure the maxillary cast to the occlusal table?
utility wax
what are the two schools of articulator design?
- geometric (non-anatomic) school
- condylar (anatomic) school
school of articulator deign that denied the existence of condylar axes and disregarded the condylar paths as influences on occlusion, instead claiming that the articulation of teeth guides the mandible during mastication
geometric (non-anatomic) school
school of articulator design that deals with adjustable condylar guides and the average value instruments
the condylar (anatomic) school
who came up wight he equilateral triangle theory?
william GA bonwill (1838-1899)

- balkwill triangle
- occlusal plane
the balkwill triangle is formed between what ?
- 2nd molars
- incisor point
(26 degree equilateral triangle)
who invented the balkwill triangle?
francis H balkwill (1866)
the relationship between the curved arrangements of the occlusal planes of natural teeth and the corresponding curves of the condylar paths
curve of spee
the ___ ____ surfaces lie on the same arc of a circle as the curve of spee
molar mastacatory
in reference to the curve of spee, the location of the axis of the cylinder’s curvature is at the level of the _________
horizontal mid-orbital plane
in reference to the curve of spee, the steeper the path of the condyles, the more pronounced the ___ ___ would be, because both have the same ___

protrusion space (christensen phenomenon)
carl christensen was the first to describe an ____ method for obtaining a protrusive record to determine the condylar _____
- intraoral
- inclination
who presented for the first time a method for setting denture teeth, using bonwill’s equilateral triangle conforming to the surface of a sphere
george S monson
in reference to Monsons spherical theory, what was at the center of the sphere?
sella turcica
theory that occlusion should be spherical, the curvature of the cusps as projected on the FRONTAL PLANE expressed in both arches
curve of wilson (mediolateral curve)
in the curve of wilson, the curve in the lower arch is ____ and the curve in the upper arch is ____
- concave
- convex
in rupert E hall’s conical theory of mandibular movement, the ____ ____ ____ was considered as the anatomical rotation center of the mandible
external occipital protuberance
the essence of both anatomic and functional harmony is the “balance” between what two things?
elevator and depressor mm
how wide is the occlusal rest space?
2-4 mm
the condylar disc is connected to the SUPERIOR HEAD of the ____ pterygoid m
lateral
the protrude the mandible, it must first go ___ and then ___
- down
- forward
the mandible rotates around the _____
THA
(terminal hindge axis)
(transverse horazontal axis)
*can be either one
the side towards which the mandible moves is termed the ____ side
working
the side away from which the mandible moves is the ____ side
non-working
the idea that the condyle moves outwards a little during mandibular lateral translation
bennett’s side shift
if you open less than 6mm you just use ___ movement
rotational
name of the first curve in the elf posselt’s envelope of motion
centric relation curve
name of the second curve in the elf posselt’s envelope of motion
curve of translation
centric occlusion (CO)
initial (central) point of contact
maximal intercuspation (MI)
furthest you can bite down so as many teeth as possible are touching
ideal occlusion
MI=CO
five functions of anterior teeth
- anterior guidance
- perform initial acts of mastication
- speech
- lip support
- esthetic
what are the two occlusal schemes?
- anterior guidance (incisor, canine)
- group function
_____ articulation is NOT acceptable in prosthetics but is IS acceptable in orthodonics
hand
what was the first articulator?
plane line articulator (1805)
*static (one joint)
what was the second articulator?
new century articulator (1906)
*two joints
what was the first articulator that is the size that is similar to our mouths
wadsworth articulator (1924)
articulator that “relates” the two casts together
homer relator (1923)
an articulator is considered ____ if the condyle is part of the mandibular arch
arcon
type of articulators that are the first to allow the condyle to move sideways (bennett’s side shift)
semi-adjustable articulators
