Q

types of articulator used for diagnostic casts

A

Diagnostic casts are most effectively mounted on a semi-adjustable articulator with a retruded record

  • see the full range of mandibular movements for occlusal diagnosis and evaluation

depends what you are doing – if not advanced re-org, average value should be fine

Q

first step in facebow tranfer

A

Mark the anterior reference point

  • Mark the anterior reference point on the patient’s right side using the Reference Plane Locator and Marker.
    • This is 43mm apical to the incisal edge of the anterior teeth (12 ideally)
  • It is the approximate position of the infraorbital foramen (1st bony reference)

Q

2nd step in facebow transfer

A

Bite registration using the bite fork

  • Bite registration paste applied to bite fork.
    • Bite fork arm to the right and locating notch facing up
  • Firmly seat to record cusp tips of maxillary teeth.
    • You can use rigid wax or bite registration paste.
    • Do not engage undercuts.
  • Check that it is parallel with the patients’ coronal and horizontal planes
  • Align the dental midline with the locating notch
  • Indentations of maxillary teeth clearly visible to allow accurate repositioning and then mounting of the maxillary cast*
  • Just want cusp tips, incisal edges – allows accurate positioning of maxillary cast

Q

how to assemble the facebow on the pt

A

Assemble the facebow on the patient by sliding the bitefork arm through clamp marked #2

Fit the measuring bow’s earpieces tightly into the patient’s ear.

  • Tighten the centre wheel on the bow.

Raise or lower the bow so that the pointer aligns precisely with the anterior reference point. – marked at start

  • If you are aligned with the reference point, tighten clamps #1 and #2. Be careful not to alter the bow while tightening the clamps.

Q

wax wafer for interocclusal registration

A
  • When there are enough teeth and the bite in ICP is obvious you don’t need wax.
    • If too much wax is used and the lower cast is mounted like this the OVD will be increased and the restoration will be high in the bite when placed – now reorganised as confirmative bite changed
  • When using wax you must ensure it is thin and cusp tips are visible
21
Q

registration paste for bite registration

A
  • When ICP will not be obvious to the technician
  • Silicone paste that sets quickly
  • A small amount is needed
    • Too thick and it will increase the OVD
  • Occlusal contacts must be visible through the material
22
Q

registration postion options decided when

A

before embarking on treatment you must decide whether to place restorations in the existing occlusal scheme (conformative approach) or to change it deliberately (the reorganized approach).

  • If the entire occlusal scheme is to be reorganized to create a new and stable position, the final restorations are made in the new ICP that coincides with RCP and may involve a change in the vertical dimension
23
Q

NOT simple registration option

A

RCP registration WITH or WITHOUT OVD increase

ICP registration WITH OVD increase

REORGANISED APPROACH

24
Q

simple registration option

A

ICP registration WITHOUT OVD increase

conformative approach

25
Q

RCP registration WITH or WITHOUT OVD increase ->

A

reorganised approach

NOT SIMPLE

26
Q

ICP registration WITH OVD increase ->

A

reorganised approach

NOT SIMPLE

27
Q

ICP registration WITHOUT OVD increase ->

A

conformative approach

SIMPLE

28
Q

conformative approaches to interocllusal registration

want to be able to follow as grad

A
  • ICP registration
  • RCP (centric relation) registration with no OVD change and make restorations conforming to existing ICP
29
Q

unorganised approach

A

NOT GOOD

  • You haven’t assessed the occlusion before starting restoration(s)
  • You change the occlusion with your restoration(s)
  • You haven’t planned where your ICP will be and what the related jaw relationship is
  • You provide an occlusion which does not conform to the previously well tolerated one!
    • Too high restoration as not checked prior
30
Q

conformative approach

A
  • the provision of restorations ‘in harmony with the existing jaw relationships
  • This means that the occlusion of the new restoration is provided in such a way that the occlusal contacts of the other teeth remain unaltered
  • e.g. ICP registration WITHOUT OVD increase*
31
Q

when to mark contacts

A

Mark up your contacts before you change them

  • If the occlusal scheme is good – stick to it (conform)

These are called tripodised contacts and show where the opposing cusps contact (ICP stops)

  • cusp tip to fossa better
32
Q

issue if uneven force on tripod contacts

A

heavy contacts on one or more slopes; this means that either the teeth move and/or you have increased the risk an unintended CR/CO slide. Either way, you have introduced at least some level of instability.

So, what is an easier solution that will often result in a more stable occlusion?

Rather than attempting to achieve perfect tripodization on posterior teeth, you should create flat landing spots for the opposing cusps to contact - cusp to cups

33
Q

when do we not use the conformative approach?

A
  • An increase in vertical height is needed to make space for restorations
  • Tooth/teeth significantly out of position (i.e. overerupted, tilted or rotated)
  • A significant change in appearance is wanted
  • There is a history of occlusally related failure or fracture of existing restorations
    • E.g. Multiple fractures on posterior teeth

Not place restorations in ICP - need reorganised

34
Q

reorganised approach

A
  • Plan to provide new restorations to a different occlusion
  • The occlusion is defined before the work is started
  • Provide restorations, which change the occlusion but are well tolerated by the patient

RCP registration WITH or WITHOUT OVD increase

35
Q

why use reogranised approach

A
  • ICP is non-existent or no use
  • You need space to place restorations

RAP (retruded arch path) is a reproducible position of the mandible independent of the teeth

RCP registration -> reorganised approach

36
Q

how to restore this occlusion

A

not desirable ICP

  • Poor aesthetics
  • Bite poor
  • Not much posterior contact
  • Overeruption
  • Tooth wear

ICP is non-existent or no use

Make space to place restorations – reorganise

  • Used Retruded arc of closure position – one on green scale
    • Tooth hit another tooth on retruded arch of closure
    • Retrude the mandible until pt makes contact – manipulated
      • Condyles superior anterior in fossa
    • Here 23 – becomes RCP, holding contact – where new bite will be if confortable and tolerable of pt
      • Take interocclusal record here
37
Q

how to get interocclusal record for RCP

get into position

A
  • The patient is guided into a terminal hinge closure to detect where initial tooth contact occurs (RCP). Most reliable techniques are
    • Bimanual Manipulation
    • Chin Point guidance
    • Chin point guidance with anterior jig
  • Can be hard in toothwear cases as muscles strong*
  • The RCP record is taken at a slightly increased OVD just prior to this initial tooth contact (the mandible is rotating about its terminal hinge axis)
38
Q

RCP registration

must use

A

registration medium

  • wax, paste, record block

anterior jig

39
Q

retruded arc of closure

A

Initial tooth contact (RCP) can occur at any point on the retruded arc of closure.

This is sometimes called a centric relation premature contact

40
Q

RCP to ICP slide

A

If initial contact is on the posterior teeth, then there is likely to be a slide from RCP to ICP as the patient tries to achieve maximum intercuspation of the teeth

In 10% of patients RCP and ICP are the same which means 90% of patients will have a slide to achieve maximum intercuspation

  • Less scope to reorganise if the same

RCP is usually infero-posterior to ICP by 0.5–2 mm

41
Q

assess how to register this occlusion

A

considerable toothwear

  • uneven, severe esp on left

group function

no space for restorations when jaw in ICP

  • get jaw in retruded position – manipulate mandible

Too far away – too large an OVD

  • Slide forward gradually so still on retruded arc of closure (still have RCP on 14) to close OVD and maintain occlusal stop in contact position

Enough space for restorations but more acceptable OVD

42
Q

upper cast mounted using

A

facebow transfer

43
Q

lower cast mounted using

A

interocclusal registration

confomative or reorganised

44
Q

wax up of restorations

A

Diagnostic wax up of restorations on casts in new occlusal scheme

  • tried to incorporate canine guidance in new occlusal scheme
  • restore anteriors

can see how will look and work - pt input before placing defintives in mouth

  • Stable occlusion and comfortable for pt = happy
45
Q

guidance and restoration

2 options

A
  • Copy the existing guidance custom incisal guidance table - wax
    • Simple
    • Conformative
    • Most often
  • Change guidance group function -> canine guidance
    • Not simple
    • Reorganised
    • Less often
46
Q

mutually protected occlusion guidance is

A

canine

space between posterior teeth when in lateral excursion protecting them from lateral forces

47
Q

guidance in this case

A

Group function changed to canine guidance

  • Many contacts touching all the time
  • To canine guidance (wax up)
    • space between posterior teeth when in lateral excursion protecting them from lateral forces
48
Q

occlusal analysis checklist

A
  • TMJ function and muscles of mastication activity
  • Incisor relationship
  • Molar relationship
  • Open and/or cross bites
  • Guidance – use of change?
  • Wear facets/severity of tooth wear
  • Restoration Fractures
  • Occlusal contacts
  • Deflective contacts TMD problems
  • Working/Non-working side contacts
  • Mount casts on an average value or semi-adjustable articulator and review all of the above

Most prudent if looking at occlusal analysis to mount casts in more retruded relationship
