31
Q

The rotational movement is limited to

A

About 20-25 mm of incisal separation before the mandible begins to translate

32
Q

Centric Relation

A

A spatial relationship of one bone to another; the mandible and maxilla or cranium.

Independent of tooth contacts
Condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks
Against Articulator eminences

33
Q

Centric Relation arc of Closure

A

When the mandible is guided to CR the arc traced by the point between 2 mandibular central incisors is referred to as the arc of closure

34
Q

Centric Occlusion

A

If the mandible is manipulated upward on the centric relation arc of closure until tooth contact occurs the mandible is now in CO

35
Q

Initial Points of contact

A

These contact points are located on the distal inclines of mandibular teeth and the mesial inclines of the maxillary teeth

36
Q

Sagittal Plane

A

Rotational Movement

37
Q

Horizontal Plane

A

Straight protrusive

Lateral movements

Working slight lateral translation
Non working travels forward and medial

38
Q

Frontal Plane

A

Straight protrusive movements. Both condyles will move downward as they slide along emmincens.

Working-rotate and move lateral and upward or lateral and downward

Non working downward and medial

39
Q

VDO

A

Vertical dimension of occlusion

The distance between two reference pints with the teeth in MI

40
Q

VDR

A

Vertical dimension at rest

The distance between two points with the mandible at rest

41
Q

Interocclusal rest distance

42
Q

Incisal guidance

A

Anterior teeth guided by incisal guidance

Posterior guided by artocular eminence

43
Q

Functions of Anterior Teeth

A 
Anterior Guidance
Perform initial acts of mastication
Speech 
Lip Support
Esthetics
44
Q

Anterior Guidance

A

1) Position of the incisively edge of the mandibular anterior teeth relative to the lingual surfaces of the maxillary anterior teeth
2) Changes in morphology of the lingual surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth
3) length of mandibular incisors or canines

45
Q

A

Anterior Guidance

  • Incisal Guidance
  • Canine Guidance

Group Function

47
Q

Non arcon Articulator s

A

48
Q

Significance of Ear Bow Transfer

A

1) Relates maxillary cast to the Terminal Hinge Axis
2) Orients the maxillary cast correctly in space using a third point of reference
3) Is aligned parallel to the inter pupillary line
4) Permits mounting of the maxillary cast on a semi adjustable articulator
5) The mandibular cast is mounted using a centric relation record

49
Q

CR Record

A 
Along the arc of rotation of the mandible
No teeth touching
Thin
Soft
Fast setting
Stable
Verifiable
50
Q

Goals of Occlusal Equilibration

A

To improve functional and esthetic relationships between maxillary and mandibular teeth

To eliminate TMD

51
Q

The shorter the slide

A

The more likely it is that selective grinding can be accomplished within the confines of the enamel

52
Q

Selective Grinding

A

A procedure by which the occlusal surface of the teeth are altered to improve the overal contact pattern.

53
Q

When the slide has a great horizontal component

A

It becomes difficult to eliminate within the conies of the enamel

Flat cusps

54

57
Q

Occlusal Equlibration

A

Refers to the correction of stressful occlusal contacts through selective grinding. It involves the selective reshaping of tooth surfaces that interfere wit normal harmonious jaw function

58
Q

Anterior teeth guide ______ movements of the _____ so that no _______ teeth contact during lateral or protrusive movements

A

Excursive
Mandible
Posterior

59
Q

In maximal intercuspal position posterior teeth______

CO should coincide with MI

61
Q

Incisal Guidance

A

Immediate discussion of posterior teeth takes place on mandibular protrusion

62
Q

Canine Guidance

A

Immediate discussion of posterior teeth takes place as soon as the lateral movement begins

63
Q

Group Function

A

The mandibular buccal working cusps travel downward, forward and lateral in contact with the lingual inclines of the maxillary buccal cusps simultaneously with the canine

64
Q

Equilibration Procedures

66
Q

MUDL

A

Corrects anterior slide

Distal inclines lower

67
Q

Interference of the arc of closure

A

Has the effect of displacing the mandible forward of the interference to reach MI

68
Q

Interference of the line of Closure

A

Primary interferences that cause the mandible tod evictee right or left from the initial contact point to MI

69
Q

If the interfering incline causes the mandible to deviate toward the cheek

70
Q

BULL

A

If the interfering incline causes the mandible to deviate toward the cheek

Grind the buccal incline of the upper
lingual incline of the lower
or both

71
Q

If the interfering incline causes the mandible to deviate toward the tongue

72

Grind the lingual incline of the upper
Buccal incline of the lower
Or both
