Prosth - Occlusion 2 - Border Movements Flashcards
Mn rotation = movement btw the superior surface of the _________ and the inferior surface of the _________
superior of condyle an inferior of articular disc
what are the 3 “planes” that we looked at for mandibular rotation?
horizontal (“x-axis”)
frontal/vertical (“y-axis”)
sagittal (“z-axis”)
Horizontal rotation - what is the motion and position of the condyles?
- open/close hinge
- condyles are in CR (most Ant/Sup postion)
frontal/vertical rotation:
(1) what are the 2 different condyles doing
(2) is this a natural motion?
- one condyle - moves anterior out of terminal hinge
- opposite condyle - remains in terminal hinge
NO - this is not a natural motion
sagittal rotation:
(1) what are the 2 different condyles doing
(2) is this a natural motion?
- one condyle - moves inferior out of terminal hinge
- opposite condyle - remains in terminal hinge
NO - this is not a natural motion
During which movement of the Mn does translation occur?
what “area” of the joint does this occur? (the superior part or the inferior part)
- Translation occurs when Mn protrudes
- This happens in the superior portion of the joint cavity
- note: teeth and Mn move same dorection and to same degree
what are “border movements”
reproducible describable limits resulting from the outer range “border” motions of the Mandible
what 3 different “planes” are used to study single-plane border movements?
sagittal
horizontal
frontal/vertical
(same as the planes studied for mandibular rotation)
Sagittal plane BM’s
what “anatomical things” are the following sagittal plane border limits determined by:
(1) posterior and anterior limits
(2) superior limits
(3) functional limits (the purple raindrop)
(1) PA limits: determined by the ligaments & the morphology of the TM Joint
(2) sup limit: determined by the occlusal/incisal surfaces
(3) functional limits: determined by neuromuscular system
POSTERIOR Opening Border Movements: Stage 1
- what is the condylar position during 1st stage?
- how many millimeters does the mandible open during this stage 1 posterior rotational motion (after which it is no longer pure rotation)
- the 1st stage of the post. opening border is when the condyle is in most superior position
- the Mn can only open 20-25mm before it is NO LONGER rotating.
the_________ (CR, MIP, or CO) position is the most superior condylar position from which a hinge axis movement can occur
CR - centric relation
POSTERIOR Opening Border Movements: Stage 2
- which direction and which type of movement do the condyles make
- what anatomical structures are “tightening” to make the above happen?
- what is the total (max) millimeters that the mouth can open?
During 2nd stage of posterior opening border movements:
- the condyles TRANSLATE in an inferior/anterior position (moves down & out)
- this is accomplished by the tightening of the TM LIGAMENTS
- MAX open = 40-60mm
ANTERIOR Opening Border Movements:
- closure is accompanied by contraction of which muscles
- tightening of which ligaments make the condyles move back posterior when you close
- inferior lateral pterygoids contract to close Mn
- the stylomandibular ligaments must tighten to pull the condyles posterior - back to their “closed” position.
so again: which ligaments OR muscles must tighten to: (1) open mouth (2) close mouth (3) return to "start" posterior spot
(1) Temporomandibular ligaments (open)
(2) inferior lateral pterygoid muscles (close)
(3) stylomandibular ligaments (pull it back)
SUPERIOR Contact Border Movements:
initial tooth contact in CR occurs between the ________ (distal or mesial) slope of the Mx teeth and the _________ (D or M) of the Mn teeth.
SLIDE 19
- initial tooth contact (in CR) occurs between:
mesial of Mx
distal of Mn
(the is the letter “D” in Mandibular…. “D”istal
