Part 4 Theories Pg 18-34 Flashcards
How does intercondylar distance affect your case?
It would lead DB groove to be more distal
Five factors of Hanau Quint and which factors can you modify?
- Condylar guidance
- Incisal guidance
- Compensating curve
- Cusp height
- Occlusal plane
Can modify all except condylar inclination
Thielman’s formula
1 = CG x IG / (CC x CH x OP)
Examples: If you increase cusp height you have to increase incisal guidance. If you increase incisal guidance, you can increase compensating curve and cusp height.
How did you determine your occlusal plane?
Esthetics of anterior teeth, smile line for anterior, posterior was via ala-tragus line on maxilla. I then modified using a compensating curve for balance.
What’s the purpose of the Facebow?
To orient the maxilla to the hinge axis of rotation of the mandible, transferring both esthetic and functional components.
What was your third point of reference?
A nasion relator which puts the facebow in close relation to the orbitale.
Why not find the true hinge axis?
Which author suggested errors would result in .2 at the 2nd molar?
What did Nagy 2002 say?
Research supports that most arbitrary hinge axises are within 5 mm of the true hinge axis. It is also difficult to accurately record and transfer the kinematic hinge axis to the articulator.
Weinberg 1961 calculated if there is a 5 mm error in hinge axis location with a 3 mm thick record, the record is off by 0.2 mm at the 2nd molar. Since I took my CR at the vertical dimension that I wanted to work at, I would expect my error to be less than 0.2 mm.
Nagy - More than 96% of predetermined points were within 2 mm of kinematic axis. Predetermined axis points located with an ear-piece face bow, when combined with articulator reference points can provide a quick/accurate transfer of maxillary cast/transverse horizontal mand axis relationship.
When do you need to find the kinematic hinge axis?
Guichet said that you do that if you are going to increase vertical dimension on the articulator.
What is Frankfort horizontal plane?
Lowest point on orbit to highest point on external auditory meatus (portion to orbitale)
Why use frankfort horizontal plane to mount maxillary cast?
Because this horizontal plane is parallel to the horizon.
What is the significance of the Frankfort Mandibular Angle?
What is normal FMA? Low?
Intersection of Frankfort horizontal plane with mandibular plane. Normal FMA is 25 plus or minus 5. Low FMA being 20- : these patients generate a lot of biting force, more susceptible to wear.
Normal range of jaw movements
- Opening
- Protrusive, laterotrusive
Okeson - 40 to 60 mm
- 8 to 10 mm
Definition CR
Maxillo-mandibular relationship, independent of tooth contact, in which the condyles articulate in the anterior-superior position against the posterior slopes of the articular eminence. In this position, the mandible is restricted to a purely rotary movement; from this unstrained, physiologic, maxillomandibular relationship, the patient can make vertical, lateral, or protrusive movements; it is a clinically useful, repeatable reference position.
What are the ways to determine/record CR?
- Static: chin point (lucia), bimanual manipulation (Dawson)
- Graphic: Balkwill, Gysi (tracer with central bearing point)
- Chew in recording: Meyers, Boos
Which is the most accurate method to record CR?
Kantor reports:
Anterior jig: Retrudes
Bimanual manipulation is the most accurate and reproducible
Myomonitor and free closure gives a more anterior position
Simon reports: No difference in chin point guidance, chin w/ ramus support, bimanual manipulation
Who thinks CR is not stable?
Celenza - precision of the position is more important than the position as CR varies over time
Simon - With no TMD, minimal variability between chin point guidance, chin point guidance with ramus support, bimanual manipulation
Who talked about diurnal variance?
What did they attribute the changes to be a result of?
Who else agreed with this?
Shafagh - CR varies during the day
- Vericheck instrument
13 dental students at 9 am, 3 pm 9 pm.
- Changes were due to changes in TMJ fluid content during the day. Difference was .12 to .14 mm.
Latta - On Edentulous patients
Do you believe in side shift?
I do not believe in immediate lateral translation as the condyles are braced by bone medially, and there must be some detrusion in the non-working condyle before it can move laterally. Dawson doesn’t believe in side shift. Article by Taylor and Bidra is 2016 discussed how there are no articles discussing actual harm or negative side effects from IMLT, only theory.
Minimum is 12, avg 15, max 20
How does condylar inclination affect side shift?
A shallow condylar inclination yields less progressive side shift
A steeper condylar inclination yields greater progressive side shift
What is Bennett movement?
What is Bennett angle?
Bennett movement: Bodily shift in the mandible in the direction of the working side
Bennett angle: Angle formed between the sagittal plane and the average path of the advancing condyle
How does Bennett movement affect tooth form and CD fabrication?
Greater bennett movement requires shorter posterior cusps and a more mesial position of the DB groove on a mandibular movement
Which is more critical in a semi-adjustable articulator, surtrusion or detrusion?
Surtrusion has a limiting effect on working cusp height. Detrusion gives more separation.
What type of lever is the mandible?
- Teeter totter
- Wheel barrow
- Mandible; fishing pole
