Q

How many movements is there in the opening of the TMJ? Explain them.

A

2 Movements:

Rotation - initial (hinge) opening

Translation - wider opening
Protrusion: condyles moves out of the fossae and along the articular eminences.
or
Retrusion: Condyle moves from the articular eminence back to the fossae.

17
Q

What chart shows the border movements of the mandible?

A

Envelope chart

18
Q

What factors affect the maximum biting force?

A

Psychological factors - fear of tooth fracture

Muscle mass - larger muscles = greater forces

19
Q

List the muscle fibre types present in the jaw and what forces they are responsible for.

A

Type 1 - slower forces

Type 2 - stronger and faster forces

20
Q

What fibres are predominantly present in people with square jaws?

A

Type 2 fibres - stronger and faster forces

21
Q

In terms of tooth type and position; which supply larger forces?

A

Teeth that are closer to the muscles generating the forces and the TMJ.
I.e. 1st permanent molar has the greatest biting force.

Teeth that have the greatest root area and PDL support

22
Q

What teeth have poor biting forces and why?

A

Anteriors i.e. centrals and laterals

Further away from the TMJ and the muscles generating the forces.
Less root surface area

23
Q

List the suprahyoid muscles.

A

Geniohyoid
Stylohyoid
Mylohyoid
Digastric

24
Q

List the infrahyoid muscles

A

Sternohyoid
Sternothyroid
Omohyoid
thyrohyoid

25
Q

List the types of muscle in the tongue and their function.

A

Intrinsic - alter the shape

Extrinsic - alter the shape and position

26
Q

List the intrinsic muscles of the tongue - what is their function?

A

Alter the shape

Longitudinal
Vertical
Transverse

27
Q

List the Extrinsic muscles of the tongue - what is their function?

A

Genioglossus
Palatoglossus
Hyoglossus
Styloglossus

28
Q

What facial muscles maintain the bolus in the oral cavity and prevent spillage?

A

Oblicularis Oris

Buccinator
