Midterm Flashcards
3 Requisites of Contour
Mechanical
Biological
Esthetics
Mechanical Requisites of Contour
Movements and occlusion with other teeth
Biological Requisites of Contour
Ex. Preventing over contour to decrease chances of periodontal disease
Esthetics Requisites of Contour
Most difficult. The smallest change in contour can have very noticeable effects on patients appearance
Universal Occlusal Stand
Should be adjusted to be 10 degrees inclination
Fence
Maxillary models should be oriented so that the midline is centralized onto the inscribed midline of the fence
Condylar Guides
Should be 30 Degrees
Incision guide pin
Should be 0
The Geometric (Non-Anatomical) School of articulator designs
Denied existence of condylar axes and disregarded the consular paths as influences on occlusion. Instead, claiming that the articulation of teeth guides the mandible during mastication
The Condylar (anatomical) School of Articulator Design
Adjustable condylar guides
Average value instruments
Equilateral Triangle Theory
The size of the mandible is equal to 10 cm from condyle to condyle (4 inches) and from each condylar to the incisor point
Balkwill Angle
Triangle is formed between the occlusal plane and Bonwill triangle (about 26 Degrees)
Curve of Spee
Teeth are not flat, they have a curve
The molar mastication surface lie on the same arc of a circle. The posterior continuation of which touches the most anterior point of the condyle
The location of the axis of the cylinders curvature is at
curve of spee
The level of the horizontal mid orbital plane
The steeper the path of the condyle the_______ the tooth curve would be because_______
More pronounced
Because both have the same radius
Christensen’s Phenomeneon
The space that occurs between the maxilla and mandible during protrusion
The phenomenon of a space that occurs between mandible and maxilla when anterior teeth touch and the mandible protrudes
Christensen’s Rational Articulator
The first to describe an intraoral method for obtaining a protrusive record to determine the condylar inclination
“Arrangement of teeth is NOT flat”
Monson’s Spherical Theory
You always need to find the center of rotation
“All teeth are touching the sphere plane”
Curve of Wilson
Mediolateral Curve
In the theory that occlusion should be spherical, the curvature of the cusps as projected on the FRONTAL plane expressed in both arches; the curve in the lower arch being CONCAVE and the one in the upper arch being CONVEX
Curve of Spee__________
Curve of wilson______
Spee= anteroposterior Wilson= mediolateral
Rupert Hall’s Conical Theory of Mandibular Movements
The external occipital protuberance was considered as the anatomic ratio center of the mandible (about 10 cm from the mandible)
ARCON
Articulating condyle
Universal occlusal stand relates to
Bonwills equilateral triangle
3 Requisites in contour
Mechanical
Biological
Esthetics
Occlusal Stand inclination
10 degrees
Condylar guide
30 degrees
Incisal guid pin
Zero
VDO
Vertical Dimension of occlusion
The degree of separation (distance between) the maxillae and the mandible
VDO when in MI
0
THA
Transverse horizontal axis
Where rotation occurs
Is an imaginary line connecting the centers of two condyles
