Q

What are the two types of swallowing? Describe each.

A
  • somatic swallow - during swallowing, teeth come together into maximum intercuspation position to stabilize the mandible in order of the suprahyoid and infrahyoid to contract and control the proper movement of the hyoid in order to swallow- visceral swallow - occurse in infants and adults with no teeth; mandible is braced by placing the tongue forward and between the dental arches or gum pads

Q

What are the 3 stages of swallowing?

A
  • first stage - voluntary; selective parting of the masticated food into bolus by the tongue; bolus on dorsum of tongue and pressed lightly against hard palate; lips are sealed and teeth brought together; reflex wave is initiated and bolus is pushed backwards into the pharynx- second stage - when bolus is in pharynx, peristaltic wave carries it down the esophagus; soft palate rises to posterior pharyngeal wall to seal off nasopharynx; epiglottis blocks the trachea; pharyngeal orifices of the eustachian tube are openned- third stage - pass the bolus through the length of the esophagus and into the stomach carried by peristaltic waves; the cardiac sphincter relaxes as bolus reaches it; the upper section of the esophagus has voluntary muscles while the lower section is involuntary

73
Q

What arteries supply the TMJ?

A
  • superficial temporal artery- middle meningeal artery- internal maxillary artery
74
Q

What are the 3 orthopedic principles that are followed by the biomechanics of the TMJ?

A
  • ligaments do not participate actively in function of the TMJ; they just restrict some movements and permit others- ligaments do not stretch; they elongate if traction force is applied, causing normal joint functions to be compromised- the articular surfaces of TMJ must maintain contact (this is achieved by the elevator muscles)
75
Q

What are the functions of biological contours?

A
  • stimulate natural, healthy teeth- protect the supporting tissues- maintain the health of the gingiva and attachments- minimize trauma and irritation to bony tissues
76
Q

What can improper contours lead to?

A
  • often induce early breakdown of supportive structures- result in early loss of teeth
77
Q

What is the definition of the crest of curvature (height of contour)?

A

the greatest convexity or bulge on the axial surface of the crown

78
Q

What will occur if the curvature is too great?

A

the gingiva is protected too much and loses gingival tone; food and debris may pack under this area and result in chronic inflammation of the gingiva

79
Q

In which third is the facial height of contour located?

A

cervical third no more than 0.5 mm facially beyond CEJ

80
Q

Where is the lingual height of contour located in the posterior teeth? What teeth are an exception?

A
  • height of contour located in middle third no more than 0.5 mm lingually beyond CEJ- mandibular 2nd premolar and mandibular molars are exceptions because of the lingual tilt (0.75-1.0 mm lingual of CEJ)
81
Q

What is the definition of the emergence profile?

A

tooth surface that is gingival to the height of contour and above the gingival crest; the profile of the gingival third of a restoration as it emerges from the gingival crevice

82
Q

What is the shape of the proximal surfaces between the contact area and the CEJ?

A

proximal surfaces are always flat or slightly concave between the contact area and the CEJ

83
Q

What is the definition of the contact area?

A

the area of the mesial or distal surface of a tooth which touches its neighbors

84
Q

What are the basic functions of contact areas?

A
  • aids in proper development of the arches- prevents food from packing between teeth- allows the teeth to be self-cleaning (to some extent)- prevents injury to the interproximal tissues
85
Q

How do the posterior teeth contacts change as the teeth age?

A

the contacts become worn and go from being points to areas (contacts get broader)

86
Q

True or false: The contact becomes located in a different area as teeth age.

A

FALSE. The contacts are still located in the same area, just with a broader contact.

87
Q

Where are the contact areas of posterior teeth located? What are the exceptions

A
  • buccal to the central fossa and in the occlusal third- exceptions: between maxillary molars: contacts between occlusal and middle thirds or just in middle third and in the middle third rather than being just buccal to the midline (because lingual does not taper)
88
Q

Are the distal contacts of posterior teeth more cervical or occlusal? What are the exceptions?

A
  • distal contacts are more cervical- exceptions: mandibular first premolars
89
Q

Why is it necessary to establish contact between teeth when restoring them?

A
  • develop arch integrity (stability)- prevent food retention- protect interdental papillae
90
Q

What are transitional line angles?

A
  • surface between the faciolingual convexities and proximal concavities- contours should blend the convexities and concavities
91
Q

Transitional line angles extend from what to what?

A

transitional line angles are straight between the proximal contact point and the cementoenamel junction

92
Q

What depressions surround a marginal ridge?

A
  • occlusal embrasure- proximal fossa
93
Q

What shape are marginal ridges mesiodistally and faciolingually?

A

94
Q

Marginal ridges are all at the same height except between what teeth?

A

canines and premolars

95
Q

Marginal ridges converge in what direction?

A

from buccal to lingual

96
Q

What is the definition of an embrasure?

A

a ā€œVā€ shaped space extending outward fromt eh contact areas of the teeth

97
Q

What are the functions of embrasures?

A
  • it is a spillway for the escape of food during function- it helps to maintain the cleanliness of the tooth
98
Q

Are lingual or buccal embrasures bigger?

A

lingual

99
Q

What is the typical biologic width between the margin and bone?

A

1.5-2.0 mm

100
Q

For subginigival margins, what type of restoration margin should be used? Why?

A

metal margin because it is easily tolerated by the tissues
