Q

What are the 2 schools of articulator design? Describe each.

A
  • the geometric (non-anatomic) school: denied the existence of condylar axes and disregarded the condylar paths as influences on occulsion, instead claiming that the articulation of the teeth guides the mandible during mastication- the condylar (anatomic) school: adjustable condylar guides and average value instruments

Q

Describe the Equilateral Triangle Theory. Who created this theory?

A
  • the size of the mandible is equal to 10cm (4 inches) from condyle to condyle and from each condyle to the incisor point- William G. A. Bonwill (1838-1899)

Q

True or false: The steeper the path of the condyles, the less pronounced the tooth curve would be, because both have the same radius.

A

FALSE. The steeper the path of the condyles, the MORE pronounced the tooth curve would be, because both have the same radius.

Q

A

Q

What term is described by the following definition?the occlusion of opposing teeth when the mandible is in centric relation. This may or may not coincide with the maximal intercuspation postion(see Maximal Intercuspation).

A

centric occlusion (CO)*Important Note: CO used to be synonymous with maximal intercuspal position (MI), but this is now improper according to the prosthodontic glossary. Other disciplines and other dental institutions may still consider it synonymous with MI. You must be aware of this significant discrepancy in terminology when taking the Dental National Board Exams.
