Occlusion 2 Flashcards
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
how do you view ICP contacts
get patient to tap
what is overjet
relationship between upper and lower teeth in a horizontal plane
what is overbite
vertical overlap of incisors
what is crossbite
one or more teeth abnormally positioned buccal or lingually or labially with reference to opposing teeth
what is an anterior open bite
lack of vertical overlap of anterior teeth when posterior teeth in full occlusion
what is posterior open bite
failure of contact between posterior teeth when teeth are in full occlusion
what is canine guidance
mandible moves to working side and there is only contact between canines
