Occlusion 3 Flashcards
What are the different types of articulator we can mount a cast on?
- Arcon
- Average value
- Semi-adjustable
Whats the difference between an average value and a semi-adjustable?
AVERAGE
- Bennets angle set at 15
- Condylar guidance angle set at 30
SEMI-ADJUSTABLE
- Allows you to set the bennet + condylar guidance angles
Where do we mark the anterior reference point for the face-bow? (3)
- Mark on patients right side using reference plane locator + marker
- 43mm apical to the incisal edge of the anterior teeth (12 ideally)
- Approximate position of the infraorbital foramen
What relationship does a face-bow record?
Relationship of the maxilla to the hinge axis rotation of the mandible
Next step after using face-bow?
Mount the maxillary cast in an equivalent relationship on the RCON articulator
What do we need to mount the lower cast?
We will need an inter-occlusal regi to mount mandibular cast in relation to maxillary cast already mounted on the articulator using the face-bow transfer
What are the 2 choices of inter-occlusal registration we can use for mounting a lower cast?
- ICP position
- Maximum intercuspation
- Comfortable bite - RCP
- Reorganised approach
What is an interocclusal regi?
How the teeth meet together
How do we record ICP regi if the ICP is:
NOT obvious to tech
Wax wafer or paste
How do we record ICP regi if the ICP is:
Obvious to tech
No material needed between teeth to accurately mount the casts
Plenty of tooth contacts
How do we record ICP regi if the ICP:
Has a Free End Saddle
Record block needed
- Casts cant be hand articulated
Contraindication for using too much wax in wax wafer/registration paste (3)
- OVD will be increased
- Restoration will be high in the bite when placed
- When using wax must ensure it is thin + cusp tips are visible
What are our registration position options? (2)
RCP
ICP
RCP recrganised approach
RCP regi with/without OVD increase
NOT SIMPLE
ICP reorganised approach
ICP regi with OVD increase
NOT SIMPLE
