Oc 1 Flashcards
horizontal alignment is a balance between?
tongue and cheek/lips
tongue thrsuting may acuse?
malocclusion
lip muscles may cause?
retrusion
intercuspation prevents deviation in?
buccal or lingual direction
the size and shape of the jaws and teeth can affect the alignment of?
teeth, spacing, and the resulting curvature of the dental arch
curve of spee
the buccal cups of posterior teeth conform to an even curve in an ‘anterior to posterior’ direction
curve of wilson
a transverse occlusal curve of posterior teeth in a right to left direction as a seen from the posterior view
curve of monson
a spherical curve of approximately 8 inches resting on the buccal cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth (combo of wilson and spee)
vertical alignment
1) man posterior tooth crowns tip lingually. Max posterior teeth have a slight buccal inclination
2) from a lateral (B/F) view, all teeth have a slight mesial inclination. The anterior teeth have a slight labial protrusion
centric relation
a position of the mandible relative to the maxilla. THis position is a stable and reproducible position generally described as the most anterior, upward, unstrained position of the mandibular condyle in the glenoid fossa
centric occlusion
a position determined by the way the teeth contact, when the mandible and maxilla are in centric relation a more commonly used tern when teeth are inthe greatest interdigitation is ‘maximum intercuspation’
when closed in maximum intercuspation, the maxillary teeth usually ?
overlap the mandibular teeth to the facial
‘Overjet; refers to the amount of facial horizontal overlap of the?
maxillary anterior teeth
‘overbite’ refers to the amount of vertical overlap of the?
maxillary anterior teeth below the edges of the mandibular anterior teeth
cross-bite occurs when?
mandibular teeth are located facial to the maxillary teeth
