25
describe the bennet movements.
refers to a working side and a non-working side (working side is whichever side the mandible moves to)
26
what are bennet movements controlled by?
contraction of 1 of the lateral pterygoid muscles
27
describe the movements of the condyl on the non-working side during bennet movements.
the condyle moves forwards and inwards
28
describe a working side contact. is this desirable?
tooth contact on the working side in the lateral excursion poison no its occlusal interference
29
describe a non-working side contact. is this desirable?
If you had a tooth contact on the non-working side in the lateral excursion poison no its occlusal interference
30
define the bennet angle.
The path of the non-working condyle in the horizontal plane during lateral excursion
31
name the 2 types of occlusion.
Dynamic | Static
32
how thick is articulating paper?
40 microns
33
why do we use 2 different colours of articulating paper?
1 to mark static occ | 1 to mark dynamic occ
34
describe how we mark static ICP occlusion.
Dry teeth and tap teeth together on the paper
35
describe how we mark dynamic occlusion.
Move mandible from side to side and forward whilst biting on the paper
36
when should we mark tooth contacts?
before altering anything; i.e. tooth prep or restoration removal after placing anything i.e. crown or restoration
37
name the types of tooth contacts we want to achieve. (2)
Tripodised = very difficult to achieve Cusp tip to fossa = more commonly used
38
name the part of the tooth that is in contact when in ICP? (1)
Functional cusps - occlude with the opposing fossa maxilla = palatal Mandible = buccal
39
where are the functional cusps in ICP in the mandible and maxilla?
``` mandible = buccal maxilla = palatal ```
40
what problems can we detect in static ICP occlusion? (5)
Incisor relationships overbite overjet crossbite openbite - anterior or posterior
41
what are we examining in dynamic occlusion?
guidance; canine or group protrusion
42
describe canine guidance.
mutally protected occlusion with only the canines in contact with a freeway space between the other teeth. no protrusive interference
43
describe the contacts in protrusion.
Only the incisors and canines tough, no posterior contacts
44
what problems can we detect in dynamic occlusion? (1)
occlusal interferences - may produce mandibular deviation
45
name the types of occlusal interferences.
Working side: the interference is usually posterior in the direction of travel of the mandible Non-working side: the interference is on the posterior on the opposite side from the movement Protrusive: any posterior contact during protrusion
46
Why should we avoid posterior contacts/interferences? (2)
Teeth are NOT designed to absorb lateral forces (normal = down the long axis) muscles are always active, no rest = painful, enlarged muscles, TMJ problems
47
what pathology can arise from poor occlusion/occlusal movements? (3)
bruxism tooth wear occlusal trauma
48
name the two types of bruxism.
eccentric centric
49
describe eccentric bruxism - what can this cause?
Parafunctional movements of the mandible from side to side which cause occlusal trauma Involuntary, rhythmic, spasmodic or function gnashing
50
describe centric bruxism. - what is this associated with?
Parafunctional clenching (pressing and clamping) of the teeth and jaws. Associated with nervous tension and physical effort
51
what are the clinical signs of bruxism? (8)
Toothwear - lose the anatomy of the teeth Tooth mobility and widened PDL from occlusal trauma (not perio) Fractured restorations Pain and stiffness of the TMJ and muscles Tooth migration Headache Earache
52
name the types of tooth wear.
Abrasion Attrition Erosion Abfraction
53
describe occlusal trauma.
Injury resulting in tissue changes within the attachment apparatus i.e. the perio ligament, alveolar bone, cementum, as a result of occlusal force
54
name and describe the types of occlusal trauma that occur in a healthy periodontium. (2)
Primary: When there is trauma and movement of an intact periodontium with no periodontitis (no inflammation and loss of attachment) Secondary: When there is trauma and movement of a reduced but healthy peridontium (no inflammation and loss of attachment)
55
define fremitus.
Fremitus is when there is palpable/visible movement of a tooth subjected to occlusal forces
56
how can we assess movement of teeth only?
Place your index finger on the tooth i.e. the central and ask the patient to tap their teeth together
57
when assessing occlusion what should we examine? (6)
``` Incisor relationship Guidance Overjet/bite ICP contacts Occlusal interference- Working/non-working/protrusive contacts Pathology ```
58
what must we do before recording the occlusion?
mount the casts on an average value articulator.
59
what is the bennet angle and the condylar guidance set to on an average value articulator?
BA = 15 C guidance = 30
60
what do we need to take before mounting a maxillary cast?
Facebow transfer
61
what do we need to take before mounting the mandibular cast?
take an Interocclusal registration
62
describe how to take a facebow registration.
Assemble the face vow on the patient by sliding the bite fork arm through the clamp marked #2 Fit the earpieces into the ears Tighten the centre wheel Raise or lower the bow so that the pointer aligns with the anterior reference point Once aligned, tighten the #1 and #2 clamps Once face bow is in place; Ensure that the bow is parallel to the inter pupillary line/floor Loosen the finger screw on the measuring bow, slide open the bow and remove the face bow from the patient Detach the measuring bow from the transfer jig by loosening the finger score Disinfect the apparatus
63
when do we use an ICP interocclusal registration?
conformative approaches
64
when do we use an RCP interocclusal registration?
use when taking a reorganised approach
65
what ways can we take an interocclusal registration in ICP? (4)
Recording ICP with no material Recording ICP with wax wafer Recording ICP with registration paste Recording ICP using a record block
66
When would we take an interocclusal registration in ICP using no material?
ICP is obvious and many teeth are in contact
67
When would we take an interocclusal registration in ICP using a registration paste?
used when the ICP is not obvious
68
When would we take an interocclusal registration in ICP using a record block?
used when there’s a free end saddle and cannot hand articulate
69
what happens if we use too much wax/registration paste when taking an interocclusal registration in ICP?
Increases OVD and restorations will be too high.
70
define the conformative approach.
the provision of restorations in harmony with the existing jaw relationships
71
when can we not use the conformative approach? (4)
(When do we not place restorations in ICP) When an increase In vertical height is required to make space for restorations When a tooth/teeth are significantly out of position i.e. over erupted, tilted, rotated A significant change in appearance is wanted There is a history of occlsually related failure or fracture of existing restorations: multiple fractures seen.
