Q

What evokes the gag reflex?

A
  1. Roof of mouth
  2. Back of tongue
  3. Area around tonsils
  4. Uvula
  5. Back of throat
17
Q

What nerves are involved with the gag reflex?

A

Sensory: CN IX (glossopharyngeal) if pharyngeal touched or CN V if soft palate touched

Motor: CN X (vagus) for pharyngeal constriction
CN V (jaw opening)
CN 12 (tongue thrust)
18
Q

The gag reflex involves which muscles?

A

Brisk and brief elevation of soft palate and bilateral contraction of pharyngeal muscles.

19
Q

Describe the movements and muscles involved in border molding the maxilla

A

Anterior: Lip is elevated and extended downward and inward (orbiculares oris)

Buccal frenum: Cheek is elevated and pulled outward, downward, and inward, forward and back. (Orbiculares oris, buccinators, elevator angluli oris)

Posteriolateral: Open wide, move jaw side to side (pterygomandibular raphe, buccinator, sup constrictor, coronoid process, medial pterygoid)

20
Q

Describe the movements and muscles involved in border molding the buccal aspect of mand

A

Anterior: Lower lip outward, upward, inward (mentalis and orbiculares oris)

Buccal frenum: Cheek outward, upward, inward, backward and forward (depressor angle oris)

Posteriorly: Cheek is pulled buccal to ensure tissue not trapped

21
Q

Describe movements and muscles for border molding the lingual aspect of mand

A

Anterior lingual flange: Tongue protrusion (genioglossus)

Anterior flange thickness (have tongue push against front part of palate)

Posterior lingual flanges: tongue pushes against front part of palate to active mylohyoid and sup constrictor

Inferior edge of both posterior lingual flanges: Palatoglossus

Distal of retromolar pad/masseteric notch: Open wide (pterygomandibular raphe comes forward), then thrust tongue out (genioglossu), on close (masseter pushes on the buccinator to make messeteric notch and medial pterygoids push against the retromylohyoid curtains to make distal end of lingual flange)

22
