Occlusion Flashcards
what is the action of the temporalis
elevation and retraction of mandible
what is the action of the lateral pterygoid
protrusion and depression of mandible
lateral movements
what is the action of the medial pterygoid
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
what is maximum opening
no tooth contacts and mouth wide open
what is the position of the condyle during maximum opening
full translation of condyle over articular eminence
what is retruded axis position
no tooth contacts
what is the position of the condyle during retruded axis position
superior anterior position of condyle head in fossa
what is RCP
first tooth contact when mandible is in retruded axis position
what is the distance between ICP and RCP
1mm
what is the movement of the mandible between RCP and ICP
slides forward into ICP
how do you establish the working side of the mandible
it is the side which the mandible slides to when eating
what causes lateral movement of the mandible
contraction of one lateral pterygoid
what is the bennet angle
angle formed by the sagittal plane and path of mandibular condyle during lateral movement when viewed in a horizontal plane
how do you mark tooth contacts
millers forceps and fine articulating paper
when do you mark tooth contacts
before preparing a tooth and removing restoration
after placement of a crown and restoration
what do tripodised contacts show
where the opposing cusps contact
(ICP stops)
what do you look at in static occlusion
incisor relationship
molar relationship
overjet/overbite
cross bites
open bites
individual contacts
RCP-ICP slide
what are functional cusps
cusps that occlude with opposing teeth in ICP
lingual cusps of uppers
buccal cusps of lowers
what are non-functional cusps
cusps that do not occlude with opposing teeth in ICP
buccal cusps of uppers
lingual cusps of lowers
what is a fossa
depression on tooth surface
what are the ICP contacts
lingual cusp of upper molar contacts fossa of lower molar
buccal cusp of lower molar contacts fossa of upper molar
