elevation
lateral movement
protrusion
what is the action of the masseter
elevation and protraction of mandible
lateral movement
what are the 2 major movements of the mandible
rotation and translation
what is rotation
small amount of mouth opening (only 20mm)
condyle and disc remains within articular fossa
no downwards or forwards movement
what is hinge movements
rotation of the condylar heads around an imaginary horizontal line through rotational centres of condyles
what does a facebow record
relationship of maxilla to terminal hinge axis of rotation in mandible
what is translation
lateral pterygoid contracts
articular disc and condyle move and travel downwards and forwards along incline of articular eminence
what is posselts envelope
border movements of the mandible in the sagittal plane
what are the parts of posselts envelope
ICP
edge to edge
protrusion
maximum opening (T)
retruded axis position
RCP
what is ICP
comfortable bite
maximum interdigitation of teeth
what is edge to edge
incisal edges of upper and lowers touch
what is the movement from ICP to edge to edge
teeth slide forward from ICP guiding on palatal surfaces of anterior teeth
what is protrusion
condyle moves forwards and downwards on articular eminence
no posterior tooth contacts
