Static Factors of Occlusion Flashcards
What are the factors and forces that determine tooth position?
- labiolingual alignment
- mesiodistal alignment
- vertical position
What affects tooth position?
- muscles
- genetics
- habits
What is the intra-arch tooth alignment?
the relationship of the teeth to each other within the dental arch
What is the plane of occlusion?
the plane that curves to fit the occlusal surfaces and incisla edges of all the teeth
What are the characteristics of the plane of occlusion?
- not flat
- concave on mandible
- convex on maxilla
- teeth positioned in the arches at varying degrees of inclination
What is the angulation of the anterior mandibular teeth in the sagittal plane?
labially inclined
- 20 degrees
What is the angulation of the premolar mandibular teeth in the sagittal plane?
mesially inclined
- 6 degrees
What is the angulation of the molar mandibular teeth in the sagittal plane?
mesially inclined
- 10-15 degrees
What is the angulation of the anterior maxillary teeth in the sagittal plane?
- labially inclined
- central incisor the greatest
- 28 degrees
What is the angulation of the premolar maxillary teeth in the sagittal plane?
mesially inclined
- 9 degrees
What is the angulation of the molar maxillary teeth in the sagittal plane?
mesially inclined
- 12 degrees
- crowns of maxillary molars are tilted distally and labially
What is the angulation of the anterior mandibular teeth in the frontal plane?
vertical inclination
- 0 degrees
What is the angulation of the premolar mandibular teeth in the frontal plane?
- 1st premolar: labial inclination (9 degrees)
- 2nd premolar: lingual inclination (9 degrees)
What is the angulation of the molar mandibular teeth in the frontal plane?
lingual inclination
- 20 degrees
What is the angulation of the anterior maxillary teeth in the frontal plane?
- incisors: distal inclination (2-6 degrees)
- canines: mesial inclination (17 degrees)
What is the angulation of the premolar maxillary teeth in the frontal plane?
slight buccal inclincation
- 5 degrees
What is the angulation of the molar maxillary teeth in the frontal plane?
buccal inclination
- 20 degrees
What is the curve of spee?
- antero-posterior curvature of the occlusal plane
- concave in mandible
- convex in maxilla
What is the curve of wilson?
- medio-lateral curvature of the occlusal plane
- concave in mandibe
- convex in maxilla
