Q

Centric relation is

A

the maxillomandibular relationship in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the anterior-superior position against the shapes of the articular eminences. This position is independent of tooth contact. This position is clinically discernible when the mandible is directed superior and anteriorly. It is restricted to a purely rotary movement about the transverse horizontal axis.

Q

Retruded contact position

A

Guided occlusal relationship occurring at most retruded position of the condyle in the joint cavities. A position that may be more retruded then the centric relation.

14
Q

Physiologic rest position

A

The mandibular position assumed when the head is in an upright position and the involved muscles, particularly the elevator and depressor groups, are in equilibrium in tonic contraction and the condyles are in a neutral, unstrained position.

17
Q

Transverse horizontal axis is AKA

A

hinge axis

18
Q

Transverse horizontal axis is

A

an imaginary line around which the mandible may rotate in the sagittal plane.

19
Q

Hinge movement is AKA

A

rotation.

20
Q

Hinge movement is

A

the movement in space characterized by two divergent points moving around a central axis of rotation

21
Q

Translatory Movements

A

Movement in space characterized by linear motion with no axis of rotation

22
Q

Border movements

A

Most extreme positions to which the mandible is able to move - generally considered to be relatively stable and reproducible except under certain pathological conditions. These movements have been described from the sagittal, frontal and horizontal planes. Border movements are not affected by head or body posture. It is important to be abel to visualize border movements from these three perspectives and understand the structures that limit jaw movement.

23
Q

T/F: border movements are affected by head or body posture.

A

FALSE.

24
Q

Posselt Diagram of Border Movements

A

Described in three planes - sagittal, horizontal and frontal - when combined describe a 3D envelope of motion that represents the maximum range of movement of the mandible. Varies individual to individual. Remember: is a tracing of movements of the mandibular incisal point movements.

25
Q

Working side

A

the side toward which the mandible moves in a lateral excursion

26
Q

Nonworking side

A

The side of the mandible that moves toward the median line in a lateral excursion. The condyle on that side is referred to as the nonworking side condyle

27
Q

Balanced articulation/occlusion

A

The bilateral, simultaneous, anterior and posterior occlusal contact of teeth in centric and eccentric positions.

28
Q

Mutually protected articulation/occlusion

A

Occlusal scheme in which the posterior teeth prevent excessive contact of the anterior teeth in maximum intercuspation and the anterior teeth disengage the posterior teeth in all mandibular excursive movements

29
Q

Anterior guidance

A

The influence of the contacting surfaces of anterior teeth on tooth limiting mandibular movements

30
Q

Group function

A

Multiple contact relations between the maxillary and mandibular teeth in lateral movements on the working side whereby simultaneous contact of several teeth acts a group to distribute occlusal forces.

31
Q

Protrusion

A

A position of the mandible anterior to centric relation.

32
Q

Protrusive movement

A

mandibular movement anterior to centric relation.

33
Q

Lateral excursion

A

Sideward movement of the mandible characterized by: left lateral excursion (rotation of left/working side condyle. Forward, inward and downward translation of non-working condyle.)
Right lateral excursion: rotation of the right/working side condyle. Forward, inward and downward translation of the non-working condyle

34
Q

Left lateral excursion

A

Rotation of left or working side condyle. Forward, inward and downward translation of nonworking condyle

35
Q

Right lateral excursion

A

Rotation of right or working side condyle. Forward, inward and downward translation of non-working condyle.

36
Q

Laterotrusion

A

Movement of the condyle on the working side in the horizontal plane. This term may be used in combination with terms describing condylar movement in other planes.

37
Q

Mediotrusion

A

Movement of the condyle medially.

38
Q

Bennett Movement

A

Bodily shift of the mandible toward the working side during lateral excursion. Movement caused by restraining influence of TM ligaments and medial wall of glenoid fossa on the non-working side. Average lateral movement is 0.75mm.

39
Q

Average lateral movement in mm?

A

0.75mm

40
Q

What causes Bennett movement?

A

Restraining influence of TM ligaments and medial wall of glenoid fossa on the non-working side.
