Quiz 1 Flashcards
What is the function of temporomandibular joint?
movement of the joint is characterized by position of condyle in glenoid fossa
what are the function & purpose of the ligaments supporting the temporomandibular joint and mandible ?
- Limit mandibular movemnet
- protect the musculature,especially during extreme movement
- they are non-elastic, non-contractile and do not have innervation
Where does articular disc attached anteriorly and posteriorly?
anteriorly to the musculature
temporomandibular to retrodiscal tissues
what are the two portions in the temporomandibular ligament?
- OOP( Outer oblique portion)
2. IHP( Inner horizantal portion)
what is the function of OOP portion of Temporomandibular ligament ?
It limits normal rotational opening movement(can only go so far when open the mouth in rotational movement )
what is the function of IHP portion of Temporomandibular ligament ?
it limits the posterior movement of condyle and disc(can not go so far posteriorly
where is in the condyle surface area is the greatest?
posterior aspect of the condyle
where does the most of articulation between condyle, particular disc and temporal bone occur?
in the anterior aspect of the condyle
what is the other name for maximum intercuspation?
centric occlusion (CO)
why is maximum intercuspation referred to as habitual occlusion or habitual centric?
because patient can achieve this position by habit-patient will do it without even thinking about it
what does maximum intercuspation describe?
it describes an occlusal relationship or tooth position
how do the teeth are positioned in maximum intercuspation?
they are contacting in a position that the patient finds the most comfortable
is maximum intercuspation reproducible?
It is achievable but not always reproducible by the patient -( patient can be found and do not think about ut), reproducible( patient close down and if it off by.5 , it will be not be the same because we can not get into the same position each time)
3 characteristics of maximum intercuspation
habitual
comfortabilityly of patient
achievable not reproducible
what does centric relation describe?
mandibular position
what does centric relation represent?
it describes condylar position and does not need any tooth contact to be obtained
where does centric relation establish the position?
it establishes position of the condyle in a superior and anterior location with the disc properly interposed between the condyle and the temporal bone
where does articulation occur in centric relation?O
on the thin portion of the particular disc
what is the most stable position of the condyle?
centric relation
what is the position called where muculture displays minimal tonus?
centric relation
what is an ideal occlusion when the manidbular teeth close against the maxillary teeth? 4
- there is an ideal way for the teeth to contact each other(max)
- there is an ideal location for the condyle and particular disc to be suituate(centric)
- the musculature should be at minimal tons
- occlusal contact should be uniform and simultaneous
what does determine the occlusal position in max intercuspation ?
teeth
when do patients will have a condition called slide?
if the centric relation and maximum intercuspation do not coincide
