Occlusion II Flashcards
How does musculature effect tooth position?
-labial to teeth are the lips and cheeks that provide relatively ight but constant lingually directed force
-tongue
what is neutral space?
position where labiolingual and buccolingual forces are in equilibrium
How does proximal contact impact tooth position?
prox contact between teeth helps maintain alignment due to continuous mastication over time tooth wear in proximal areas put at risk of mesial drift
how do occlusal contacts impact tooth position?
precent extrusion or super-eruption of teeth
the buccoccusal line is on which arch?
mandibular (reveals arch form)
the linguocccusal line is on which arch?
maxillary (reveals arch form)
how is proximal contact location related to central fossa line?
they are sightly buccal to it
The maxillary lingual occlusal line aligns with what on the mandibular teeth?
Mand central fossa
The mandibular buccal occlusal line aligns with what on max teeth?
Central fossa line
What are supporting cusps?
Cusps of teeth that contact and support maximal intercuspal position (usually facial cusps of mandibular posterior teeth and maxillary palatal cusps)
What do non supporting cusps do
Overlap opposing teeth, usually max buccal and mand lingual cusps
What might happen without the overlap of max buccal and mand lingual cusps?
Biting cheek or tongue
Are teeth positioned up and down in the mouth?
No! Mand posterior teeth crowns have lingual tip and laterally roots
How do max posterior teeth keep the crown?
Slight buccal inclination with lingual inclination in root
From a lingual view all teeth have a slight _____ inclination
Mesial
