Test 1 Flashcards
how many facial bones make our appearance?
14
functions of facial bones
respiration & digestion
name some large facial bones
mandible, 2 maxillae, 2 zygomatic bones
name some small bones
vomer, 2 palatine, 2 nasal, 2 lacrimal, 2 inferior nasal turbinates
2 bones that make the TMJ
temporal bone, mandible
name the muscles involved in mastication
masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid and lateral pterygoid muscles
name the actions these muscle perform
elevate, depress, retrude, protrude
3 divisions of trigeminal nerve
ophthalmic, maxillary, mandibular
what does the ophthalmic do
sensory for upper 1/3 of face ( forehead, anterior scalp, eyeball, eyelid, nose)
what does maxillary do?
touch, pain, pressure, temperature of middle 1/3 of face and palate. Anterior superior alveolar n. for incisors and canines, middle superior alveolar n for premolars, posterior superior alveolar n is for molars.
what does mandibular nerve do?
sensory & motor. Touch, pain, pressure, and temperature for lower 1/3 of face, anterior 2/3 of tongue ( not taste), supplies 8 muscles of mastication plus the mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric muscles which retract the mandible
how many muscles of mastication does the mandibular nerve control
8
what does facial nerve do?
sensory and motor, facial expression, salivary gland excretions of sublingual & submandibular glands. Sense and taste of anterior2/3 of tongue
What controls the posterior 1/3 of tongue?
glossopharyngeal nerve for taste and feeling as well as secretory stimulation for parotid glands, Hypoglossal n. if damaged deviates the tongue
name the 2 types of arches in the mouth
maxillary, mandibular
how are arches organized?
in quadrants ( upper left/ right…..)
state all directions and point to them on typodont
anterior/ posterior, mesial/distal, facial/lingual, buccal/ labial, occlusal/ incisal, apical/axial
more oreientation words
proximal, interproximal, gingival, coronal, interarch, intra-arch, radicular, interradicular
what is a line angle?
a line that two surfaces make when they meet. ( mesiobuccal line angle)
how are surfaces described?
1/3’s.
describing root 1/3’s
apical, middle, and cervical 3rd
describing surfaces
distal, middle, mesial 3rds
what is a contact?
where 2 teeth touch
what is an embrasure?
spaces near the point of contact.
what kind of embrasures are there
lingual, facial, gingival, occlusal, cervical, and incisal
another name for cervical embrasures
interproximal space
describe international counting system
quadrants 1-4 with a number 1-8 describing how far from the midline you go. (start upper right to left, then lower left to right)
primary dentition with international system
quadrants 5-8, with 1-5 following
using international system describe the mandibular left lateral insicer
32
describe the palmer system
use a half square describing quadrant followed by numbers 1-8 or for primary dentition a-e
describe the universal system
numbers 1-32 starting upper right ending lower right. Primary dentition use letters a-k
what is the succeduous dentition formula
I 2/2, C 1/1, PM 2/2, M 3/3
what does succeduous mean?
something that replaces somthing
are adult molars succeduous?
no, they don’t replace anything.
What are the 4 functions of teeth?
mastication, esthetics, speech, protection of supporting tissues
which teeth are considered anterior/ posterior teeth?
anterior- incisors & canines
posterior- premolars & molars
describe convexity or height of contour
this is the interaction of the gum with the tooth
which contour is on all teeth?
facial surface- on the cervical 3rd
where is the contour on lingual surface of incisors and canines
cervical 3rd of crown
where is the contour on lingual side of posterior teeth?
middle 3rd of crown
why is the countour higher up on the posterior teeth
it allows the tongue to sit on it
what does under contour result in?
reseeding gingiva do to lack of stimulation
what does over contour do?
causes irritation and swelling
where do you find proximal height of contour?
this is between adjacent teeth and prevents food compaction
