occlusion and Rx dentistry (3rd year) Flashcards
muscles involved in mandibular movement
MofM
suprahyoids
muscles involved in mandibular movement - MofM
temporalis - elevates and retracts
LP - protrudes, depresses, lat movement
MP - elevates, lat movement
masseter - elevates and protracts
muscles involved in mandibular movement - suprahyoids
elevate hyoid bone/depress mandible
mandibular movements
rotation
translocation
rotation
small amount of mouth opening (up to 20mm)
condyle and disc remains within the articular fossa
no downwards or forwards movement
“hinge movement”
hinge movements and terminal hinge axis
rotation of condylar heads around the imaginary horizontal line through rotational centres of the condyles
imaginary line - terminal hinge axis
facebow
records relationship of maxilla to the hinge axis of rotation of the mandible
- terminal hinge axis
- inter-condylar distance
translocation
LP contracts
articular disc and condyle begin to move
travel downwards and forwards along incline of the articular eminence
may also travel laterally (laterotrusive movement)
condylar guidance angle
condyle sliding down the articular eminence anatomy varies (av value)
ICP-RCP slide
ICP about 1mm anterior to RCP in 90% of the pop
RCP and ICP not coincident so mandible slides forward to achieve ICP - anterior slide
ICP-RCP slide and restoring last tooth in arch
if pt has a large bite and you don’t take a facebow before crowns then you may prop open
describe the working and non-working sides if the mandible moves to the right
RS - working side
LS - non-working side
Posselt’s envelope
extremes of mandibular movement
border movements of the mandible in the sagittal plane
border movements of the mandible - positions
ICP E (edge to edge) Pr T (max opening) R (retruded axis position) RCP
ICP
tooth position regardless of the condylar position
max interdigitation
edge to edge
tooth position
teeth slide forward from ICP guiding on palatal surfaces of anterior teeth
incisal edges of U and L incisors touch
Protrusion
condyle moves forwards and downwards on articular eminence
only incisors +/- canines touch
no posterior tooth contacts
eventually no tooth contacts
max opening
no tooth contacts
mouth wide open
full translocation of the condyle over the articular eminence
