Q

What can happen if there is occlusal trauma?

A

Excessive wear, mobility , sensitivity or pain, fractured cusps
Nociceptor and proprioceptor signals may be increased that effect neuromuscular control - may “reroute” mandibular closure

Q

What forms the incisal guidance/

A

Max incisors overlapping mand incisors horizontally AND vertically
Degree of horizontal and vertical overlap determines the incisal guidance angle

20
Q

What can cause incisors to not be aligned with patient’s facial midline?

A

Tooth loss, tooth size-arch length discrepancies, mesial drift, tooth agenesis, tooth wear/ altered eruption patterns

21
Q

What is the plane of occlusion
What shape is the occlusal plane

A

An imaginary surface that theoretically touches the incisal edges of the incisors and the tips of the occluding surfaces of the posterior teeth
Curved in order to touch all aspects (listed above) simultaneously

22
Q

The distance between two selected anatomical or marked points when in MIP is called the _____
What are these two points normally?

A

Vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO)
Tip of nose and chin

23
Q

What is the postural position of the mandible when an individual is resting comfortably in an upright position?
In what state are the muscles in this position?

A

Rest vertical dimension (RVD)
Minimally contracted (resting !!!)

24
Q

The distance between the occlusions surface of the max and mand teeth when the mand is in a specified position is called the

A

Interocclusal distance

25
Q

The difference between the RVD and the OVD is called the _______
What’s another name for this?

A

Interocclusal rest distance (IRP)
RVD-OVD= IRD

Q

Which curve is related to aligning each tooth for the maximum resistance to functional loading?

A

Curve of spee

29
Q

The relationship between the _______ and the _______ relates to the condylar path of protrusion
If the curve passes through the ____, the posterior teeth will be ____ by the normal condylar path on its ______ condylar eminence
In simple terms, what does this mean?

A

Curve of spee, condylar axis
Condyle, discluded, steeper
Pt would not be able to chew!

30
Q

The ____ inclination of the posterior teeth is nearly parallel with the inward pull of the _____
Which curve is this related to?

A

Axial, lateral pterygoid muscles

Curve of Wilson

31
Q

When the teeth are aligned with the __________, it produces the greatest resistance to masticatory forces
Which curve is this related to?

A

Principle direction of the muscle contraction
Curve of Wilson

32
Q

The inward inclination of the _________ is designed for direct access of food from the ____, with no blockage by ____ by the action of tongue
Which curve is this related to ?

A
