Occlusion Flashcards
what is the main cause of TMJ disease pain?
the retrodiscal colateral tissue which is highly vascular and innervated moves too far anteriorly and becomes wedged between the bone and the head of the condyle
what does the Retrodiscal colateral Tissue attach to?
the mandibualr fossa
what muscles are involved in mandibular movements?
Muscles of mastication: temporalis, masseter, lateral & medial pterygoid
Suprahyoid: digastric, geniohyoid, mylohyoid, stylohyoid
what is the function of the temporalis?
retracts and elevates
what is the function of the masseter?
elevates and protracts
what is the function of the medial pterygoid?
elevates, protracts and lateral movement
what is the function of the lateral pterygoid?
depresses, protracts and lateral movement
describe the resting vertical dimension. (2)
mouth slightly open
teeth not in contact - freeway space between
name the types of mandibular movement. (3)
rotation/hinge
translation
lateral translation
how much opening is there in hinge/rotation movements?
20mm - fairly passive
describe translation movements. (3)
Lateral pterygoid contracts and pulls the condyl and articular disc anteriorly
The condyle moves downwards and forwards along the articular eminence
The condyl can also move laterally
name the 3 planes of border movements.
sagittal
horizontal
frontal
describe the ICP stage on posselts envelope. (2)
Tooth positon regardless of condylar position
The maximum interdigitation of the teeth which is comfortable
in what position/stage of poselts envelope are most restoration made in unless the occlusion is reorganised?
ICP
name and describe the E stage on posselts envelope. (3)
edge to edge
Translational movement which Refers to tooth position.
When teeth slide forward from ICP guided by the palatal surface of anterior teeth the incised edges of the upper and lowers will touch and the posterior teeth will either be apart or occluded depending on the type of guidance they have
(E stage)
what type of guidance will a patient have if when teeth slide forward from ICP the incised edges of the upper and lowers will touch and the posterior teeth have space between them?
anterior guidance
(E stage)
what type of guidance will a patient have if when teeth slide forward from ICP the incised edges of the upper and lowers will touch and the posterior teeth occlude?
group function
name and describe the Pr stage on posselts envelope. (4)
protrusion
At this stage the condyl has moved forwards and downwards on the articular eminence
Initially only the incisors and canines will touch
Eventually no teeth will contact
(Pr stage) what is occuring if posteriors touch at this point?
protrusive interference
name and describe the T stage on posselts envelope. (3)
maximum opening
Full translation of the condyle over the AE = mouth wide open
No tooth contacts
name and describe the R stage on posselts envelope.
retruded axis position
This is the most superior anterior position of the condylar head in the fossa
No tooth in contact
name and describe the RCP stage on posselts envelope.
Retruded contact position
The first tooth contact when the mandible is leaving the retruded axis position
Retruded axis position - the most superior anterior position of the condylar head in the fossa
describe the relationship between the ICP and the RCP.
ICP is approx 1mm anterior to the RCP (90% of patients)
what are lateral translation movements also known as?
Bennet movement
describe the bennet movements.
refers to a working side and a non-working side (working side is whichever side the mandible moves to)
what are bennet movements controlled by?
contraction of 1 of the lateral pterygoid muscles
describe the movements of the condyl on the non-working side during bennet movements.
the condyle moves forwards and inwards
describe a working side contact. is this desirable?
tooth contact on the working side in the lateral excursion poison
no its occlusal interference
