Occlusion 1 Flashcards
TMJ anatomy
Starting from right:
Articular eminence
Superior head of lateral pterygoid
Inferior head of lateral pterygoid
Condylar head
Retrodiscal tissue
Inferior synovial cavity
Articulator disc
Superior synovial cavity
Mandibular fossa
What do muscles of mastication do?
Depression, elevation and lateral movements of mandible
What do suprahyoid muscles do
Elevate hyoid bone or depress mandible
Examples of MoM
Temporalis
Lateral pterygoid
Medial pterygoid
Masseter
What does temporalis do?
Elevates and retracts mandible
Assists in rotation
What does masseter do?
Elevates and protracts mandible
Assists in lateral movement
2 major types of mandibular movement?
Rotation and translation
What is rotation movement
Small amount of mouth opening (up to 20mm)
Condyle and disc remain within fossa
No downwards or forwards movement
Also known as hinge movement
What is the terminal hinge axis?
Rotation of condylar heads around an imaginary horizontal line through the rotational centres of the condyles
Imaginary line is termed terminal hinge axis
What is translation of the condyle?
Lateral pterygoid contracts
Condyle and disc begin to move
Travel downwards and forwards (may also travel laterally) along incline of articular eminence
What is a facebow
Records relationship of maxilla to terminal hinge axis of rotation of mandible and distance between condyles for semi adjustable articulators
What does posselts envelope show?
Extremes of mandibular movement
Border movements of mandible in sagittal plane
What are the movements in posselts envelope
P= Protrusion
E= Edge to edge
ICP= Intercuspal position
RCP= Retruded contact position
R= Retruded axis position
T= Maximum opening
What is intercuspal position
Tooth position regardless of condylar position
Maximum interdigitation of teeth
Types of occlusion
Dynamic
Static
