Occlusion Flashcards
what elevates and retracts the mandible
temporalis
what protrudes and depresses the mandible and causes lateral movement
lateral pterygoid
what elevates and protracts the mandible
masseter
what elevates the mandible and aids in lateral movement and protrusion
medial pterygoid
what are three types of mandibular movements
rotation
translation
lateral translation
what is rotational movement
small amount of mouth opening (RCP)
condyle and disc remain in the articular fossa
no forward or downwards movement
known as a hinge movement
what is the terminal hinge axis
imaginary line via which the condyles rotate
what is translation movement
lateral pterygoid contracts and causes articular disc and condyle to move
travels downwards and forwards
what three planes are border movements viewed at
horizontal
sagittal
frontal
what is posselts envelop
extremes of mandibular movement
what is ICP
tooth position regardless of condyle position
most comfortable bite
what is edge-edge position
condyle moves forwards in translation and teeth are contacting at incisal edges
what is protrusion
past edge-edge
condyle moves forwards and downwards on articular eminence
what is maximum opening
no tooth contact
mouth wide open
full translation of the condyle over articular eminence
what is the retruded axis position
no tooth contact
most superior anterior position of the condylar head in the fossa
what is RCP
first tooth contact in the retruded axis position
what is lateral translation
result of contraction of only one lateral pterygoid muscle
what is the working side
the side the mandible moves towwards
what is the bennet movement
another term for lateral translation - a bodily movement
what is the bennett angle
the angle formed by the sagittal plane and path of mandibular condyle during lateral movement when viewed from a horizontal plane
