Q

Mutually protected occlusion

A

“ The posterior teeth protect the anterior teeth and the anterior teeth protect the posterior teeth”

Characteristics:

  1. MIP occurs with condyles in centric relation
  2. Posterior teeth “hold shim”
  3. Anterior teeth “drag shim”
  4. Immediate separation (no contacts) of posterior teeth in any eccentric movement
  5. Anterior guidance: anterior teeth provide separation of posterior teeth in eccentric movements

Q

Full coverage guidelines for anterior teeth after endo

A

Anteror teeth are subjected to lateral forces

For anteriors, full coverage = crown

Crown not required: Intact marginal ridges, conservative endodontic access, acceptable esthetics

Crown required: Inadequate remaining coronal tooth structure, FDP abutment, RDP abutment, unacceptable esthetics (there is another option…veneer)

Most anterior teeth that require a crown also require a post

Q

Tongue size

A

House

Class 1: Normal size, development, functionSufficient teeth present to maintain normal form/function

  • Class 2: Teeth have been absent long enough to permit a change in the form and function of the tongue
  • Class 3: Excessively large tongueAll teeth have been absent for an extended period of time, allowing for abnormal development of the size of the tongue

Inefficient dentures can lead to the development of Class 3 tongue

Q

What are Applegate’s 8 Rules?

A
  1. Classifcation should follow rather than precede extractions that might alter the original classification
  2. If a third molar is missing and not to be replaced, it is not considered in the classification
  3. If a third molar is present and is to be used as an abutment, it is considered in the classification
  4. If a second molar is missing and is not to be repalced, it is not considered in the classification
  5. The most posterior edentulous area or areas always determines the classification
  6. Edentulous areas other than those determining the classification are referred to as modification spaces and are designated by their number
  7. The extent of the modification is not considered, only the number of additional edentulous areas
  8. There can be no modification areas in class IV arches. Any edentulous area lying posterior to the single bilateral area determines the classification

lateral borders raised above the occlusal plane

apex is pulled down into the floor of the mouth

Class 2 Retracted: Tongue is very tense and pulled backward and upwardapex is pulled back in to the body of the tongue and almost disappears

Q

Guidelines for full coverage of posterior teeth after endo

A

Posterior teeth are subjected to greater loads directed more vertically

Due to heavy loading and compromised tooth structure, posterior teeth always require “full coverage” after root canal treatment

For posteriors, full coverage = crown or cuspal coverage amalgam

Crown required: FDP or RDP abutment, premolar in the esthetic zone

Many posterior teeth that require a crown do not require a post
