Occlusion Flashcards
what Angle class does the Triangular ridge of MB cusp of Max 1st molar articulates in B groove of Man 1st molar?
Class 1
**max canine between man canine and 1st premolar
*70% of pop
what percentage of pop has class 2?
25%
where does the MB cusp of Max 1st molar fall in angle class 2?
between 1st molar and 2nd premolar
in angle class 2 what direction do the max incisors tip?
bucally
what does “sunday bite” mean?
patient typically functions in a class 2 bite, but can go into class 1
*this can trick a dentist
Class 2 division 1
class II molar relationship with protruded Max incisors
class 2 division 2
max lat incisors tipped labially and mesial, centrals retruded
Describe class angle class 3 bite
Molars and canines
- MB cusp of Max 1st molar falls between Man 1st and 2nd molars
- Max canine distal to Man canine
- 5% of pop
what is a skeletal class 1?
max and mand are similar in poportion
what is skeletal class 2?
mand is smaller than max
what is a skeletal class 3
mand is larger than max
what is the terminal plane and what is it used for?
Distal aspect of 2nd primary molars, used to determine amount of shift
What is leeway space?
size differential between primary posterior teeth and permanent canine and premolars
- 2.5/side uppers
1. 5/side lowers
*example perm premolar (smaller) erupts where there the primary molar (larger) was
what is a flush terminal plane relationship?
Molars are directly on top of each other.
normal relationship for primary teeth. Will shift to class 2, then eventually class 1 when primary molars are lost
What is a mesial step relationship?
Distal surface of Man molar mesial to Max
*usually shifts to class 1, but can shift to class 3
what is a distal step relationship?
Distal surface of Man molar Distal to Max
**Can shift to Class II or End to end
what is primate spacing?
- gap between Max lateral incisors and canines
- Gap between Man canines and 1st molars
6 keys to normal occlusion?
1-molar relationship 2-Crown angulation (gingiva is distal) 3-crown inclination (inclination) 4-elimination of rotation 5-tight contacts 6-flat occlusal plane
what is a facial/buccal crossbite?
posterior maxillary facial cusps contact mandibular fossa
*max non-functional cusps are in the fossa rather than functional ones
what is Lingual crossbite/scissor bite?
lingual inclines of maxillary lingual cusps contact buccal inclines of mandibular teeth
what muscle controls translation?
Lateral pterygoid muscle contracts and moves condyle-articular disk assembly forward
in rotation, how many mm before incisor separation?
12mm
