articulator 4 uses
diagnosis
treatment planning
communicate with patients/patient education
fabrication of prostheses/resorations
semi-adjustable articulators:
a.
-condyle in LOWER member
-condylar inclination in the upper member
b.
-condyle on UPPER member
-condylar inclination on the lower membrane
a. acron
b. non acron
what kind of articulator do we use
Hanau Articulator
Acron (semi-adjustable)
allow only opening and closing movements. type of articulator
hinge or non adjustable
the facebow is used to
orient the cast in the same relationship to the opening axis of the articulator in 3 planes
what plane do we use for our facebow
arbitrary
locates the true transverse horizontal axis of rotation
kinematic plane
locates the axis by using anatomical landmarks (uses average measurements to approx. locate axis of rotation)
arbitrary plane
what
-goes through both condyles
-around the axis pure rotational movement of mand. occurs
-8 mm under soft tissue in front of tragus
terminal hinge axis
point 10mm anterior to center of spherical insert in external auditory meatus and 7mm below frankfort horizontal plane
bergstrom point
what is known as the 3rd point of reference on facebow
anterior reference point
-needs to be reproducible and repeatable
when to use facebow?
- cusp teeth are present
- interocclusal records are made at an increased OVD
- OVD subject to change and alteration in occlusal surfaces are necessary
what bones are involved in chewing
maxilla
mandible
temporal bone
components with processes of maxilla
body
processes:
-zygomatic
-frontal
-alveolar
-palatine
largest and strongest bone of skill with components:
mandible
body and ramus
articulates with cranium
-medial and lateral poles
length 15-20mm
ant-post 8-10mm
condyle
squamous portion articulates mand condyle
temporal bone
muscles of mastication
temporalis
lateral and medial pterygoid
masseter
elevates mand and powerful muscle that provides force for chewing. has superficial and deep head
masseter
masseter
superficial head=
deep head=
superficial= aids in protrusion
deep=stabilizes
masseter blood supply and nerve supply
blood= branch of max artery
nerve= masseter nerve of mand division of CNV
