Q

What do we mean by occlusion

A

How the teeth relate to each other in terms of:

  1. How they come to gather when patient closes
  2. how they contact each other when: protruding, moving side to side

Q

Why do we not aim to recreate canine guidance in complete denture patients

A

Canine guidance can cause disclusion in a way that prevents contact between the teeth

Q

State the ideal edentate occlusion

A

Ideal occlusion for the edentate patient is concerned with denture stability, reducing excessive forces on the denture bearing tissues with minimal strain on the muscles of mastication

18
Q

What Is balanced occlusion

A

The ideal interdigiation of the teeth in which there is no cuspal interference in any position of jaw closure

19
Q

Is balanced occlusion a static or dynamic situation

A

Static

20
Q

What Is balanced articulation

A

The ideal interdigiation of the teeth in which there are no cuspal interferences when the jaw is moved from side to side

21
Q

Is balanced articulation a static or dynamic situation

A

dynamic

22
Q

What do we use to ensure the teeth are in balanced articulation

A

Curve of monson

23
Q

What does the curve of monson ensure

A

That the teeth on the non working side are lower than the teeth on the working side when the jaw is moving

24
Q

How do we ensure teeth are in balanced occlusion

A

By following curve of speed

25
Q

What does the curve of spee ensure

A

That when are teeth are meeting in a protruded way the back teeth stay in contact ensure all the pressure isn’t on the front teeth which would result int eh denture falling down

26
Q

What are the curve of spee and monson known as

A

Compensating curves

27
Q

Why are the compensating curves important

A

They keep the teeth in contact during protrusion and lateral movement

28
Q

After using the compensating curves what do we look

A

Free way space

29
Q

What is the free away space

A

A gap that naturally occurs between the upper and lower teeth when at rest t

30
Q

What is the average value of the free way space

A

2-4,,,

31
Q

What does OVD stand fro

A

Occluso-vertical dimension

teeth together in ICP

32
Q

What does RVD stand fro

A

Resting vertical dimension

33
Q

What is the RVD

A

Distance when teeth are apart while the jaw is at rest with lips together and breathing through nose

34
Q

How do we measure a patents FWS

A

RVD-OVD

35
Q

How do we measure OVD

A

Distance between nose and chin when patient is biting down

36
Q

How do we measure RVD

A

Distance between nose and chin when patietn is at rest (pretending like they are watching tv)

37
Q

Why is the fro way space important

A
  1. Reduces stain on the muscles of mastication

2. Reduces load on the denture supporting tissues

38
Q

What can happen if we have a lack of free way space

A
  1. Teeth will constantly be in contact leading to increased load on denture bearing tissues
  2. Increased load on TMJ and mucosa
  3. Teeth click together when speaking
39
Q

What can happen if we have too much free way space

A
  1. Over-closure and protrusion to get teeth to meet
  2. Difficulty eating
  3. Teeth dont show
40
Q

In order to get the correct oVD what two positions must eb be aware of

A
  1. Retruded position

2. Resting vertical dimension

41
Q

How can we get the patietn to relax into their OVD

A

Ask them to imagine they are watching tv

42
Q

What is the retruded position

A

Where the condyle is in the most posterior superior area within the glenoid fossa

43
Q

How can we encore the patent to get into the retruded position

A

Ask them to curl their tongue to the back of their mouth
