will fail
leads to TMJ pain, Pain, sorness
restorations will fracture

41
Q

A

fit into marginal ridge or fossa

42
Q

Why are guidance teeth important ?

A

come into fucntional contact a lot throughout the day

43
Q

How do you identify anterior guidance teeth ?

A

ask the patient to protrude mandible from ICP

teeth that are in contact are anterior guidance

44
Q

What is incisal guidance ?

A

incisors tear food

then incisors aid protrusion of the mandible to ICP after chewing

45
Q

What does the amount of incisal guidance depend on ?

A

overlap of upper and posterior teeth

46
Q

How is the mandible guided away and to the ICP ?

A

by guidance teeth slopes

47
Q

What happens with a class III relationship with incisal guidance ?

A

the canines and premolars provide guidance

48
Q

What is lateral excursive guidance ?

A

guidance that occurs on the working side

49
Q

What are the 2 types of lateral excursive guidance ?

A

canine guidance

group function

50
Q

What is canine guidance ?

A

excursion to the WS results in WS canines being in contact only
teeth on NWS are discluded

51
Q

What is group function ?

A

excursion to the WS results in contact between more than 1 pair of WS teeeth
discussion on the NWS

52
Q

Which type of lateral excursive guidance is most common ?

A

canine guidance

53
Q

In which patients is group function common in ?

A

elderly patients

due to tooth wear, tooth loss

54
Q

What must be considered when restoring guidance teeth ?

A

restored teeth are weak
it is unreasonable to let restored guidance teeth provide all the guidance
shape guidance if the restored tooth is sole guidance tooth
do not interfere with guidance unless trying to protect a heavily restored tooth

55
Q

What should be considered when restoring guidance teeth ?

A

dont just restore the ICP contact areas

restore the entire contact concave area

56
Q

What shape should guidance surfaces be ?

A

concave

if convex- too much material is present which can become overloaded with axial forces leading to interferences

57
Q

What is problematic about crown materials and guidance ?

A

tooth preparations must reproduce guidance whilst being sufficient for crown materials - bulbous
if too bulky palatal surfaces take a lot of masticatroy load
can lead to tenderness of Tooth and drifting

58
Q

Describe a class I lever system ?

A

effort fulcrum load

produces the largest forces

59
Q

Describe a class II lever system ?

A

effort load fulcrum

results in intermediate forces

60
Q

Describe a class III lever system ?

A

fulcrum effort load

least force is produced

61
Q

What does the effort refer to in the dental setting ?

A

work of temporalis and masseter

62
Q

Which lever class system is the best dentally ?

A 
class III 
results in the least forces
63
Q

What is the relationship between fulcrum and load and force ?

A

the further away the fulcrum is from the load the smaller the forces

64
Q

What is the fulcrum in the dental setting ?

A

condyle

65
Q

What is mutually protected occlusion ?

A

Upon closing to ICP the posterior teeth take forces down their longitudinal axes
Upon lateral excursive guidance the posterior teeth disclude and the anterior teeth take forces

66
Q

What is centric relation?

A

position when the condyles are in most posterior superior position in the glenoid fossae

67
Q

What is CR dictated by ?

A

the TMJ only

68
Q

Can CR be reproduced in a diseased mandible ?

A

no

69
Q

Describe the positions of the teeth, discs and muscles in CR ?

A

CR is independent of tooth contact
muscles are most relaxed
discs are interposed

70
Q

To which position can you move to from the RCP ?

A

from the RCP you can move into the ICP by sliding anteriorly and superiority

71
Q

What are deflective contacts ?

A

deflective contacts are contacts that deflect the mandible from one path of closure to another

72
Q

Give an example of a deflective contact ?

A

RCP-ICP slide

73
Q

What can be detrimental in the RCP-ICP slide ?

A

when the mandible is thrust forward into ICP
lower incisors impinge heavily on upper incisors
non axial loading that leads to localised wear and drifting of maxillary incisors

74
Q

What is a working side interference ?

A

heavy or early contact of teeth when mandible is moved to working side

75
Q

What is a non working side interference ?

A

occlusal contact is made on the side the mandible is moving away from
potentially more detrimental as the forces are oblique

76
Q

What is a protrusive interfernce ?

A

contact between incisors

77
Q

What are functional cusps ?

A

they maintain tooth height
they bite into the fossa of the opposing tooth
buccal cusps of the lowers
palatal cusps of the uppers

78
Q

What are guiding cusps ?

A 
they dont come into contact
help maintain food bolus on occlusal table
guide into ICP
lingual of the lowers
buccal cusps of the uppers
79
Q

`What are marginal ridges ?

A

raised mesial and distal aspects of the tooth

they provide structural integrity to the tooth ]#deflect food away to the occlusal table

80
Q

What are the consequences of leaving a tooth out of occlusion ?

A

it can form a premature contact

81
Q

What are the 3 types of articulators?

A

simple hinge
semi adjustbale
fully adjustable

82
Q

What do simple hinge articulators do ?

A

they mimic ICP
limited simulation of jaw movement
limited alteration

83
Q

What are semi adjustable articulators ?

A

they adequatrly stimulate jaw movement

lower member has condylar

84
Q

What does ARCON mean ?

A

Articulating condyle

85
Q

What does it mean if an articulator is ARCON ?

A

the articulating condyle is attached to the lower member as would be in the body

86
Q

What is a non-arcon articulator ?

A

condyalr elements attached to the upper member

87
Q

What is the condylar guidance angle ?

A

25 degrees

88
Q

What is the progressive side shift ?

A

the linear movement that moves the condyle downwards and forwards after the immediate side shift

89
Q

What are arcon artiulators used for ?

A

occlusal analysis and crown and bridgework as the upper member can be removed

90
Q

What is the intercondylar distance ?

A

110 mm

91
Q

Which articulators are preferred for denture work ?

A

non arcon

members are hinged and remian hinged

92
Q

What do non arcon articulators rely on to guide lateral excusrive movement ?

A

3 walls-
superior
medial
rear

93
Q

Describe the movement on the NWS ?

A

progressive side shift
movement is downwards, forwards, medially
bennet angle and condylar angle

94
Q

Describe the movement of the WS ?

A

rotational
bennet movement
immediate side shift

95
Q

What is the bennet angle ?

A

the angle between the sagittal plane and the NWS condyle in a lateral excursive movement

96
Q

What is the condylar guidance angle ?

A

angle between the frankfurt plane and the condylar path of the NWS condyle
angle of downward movement of NWS condyle and horizontal plane

97
Q

What is the immediate side shift ?

A

the initial body movement of the mandible on the WS i

lateral movement that occurs on the WS before forward movement of the NWS condyle

98
Q

What is the progressive side shift ?

A

the lateral translation that continues after forward movement of the NWS condyke
creates the bennet angle (angle between the sagttal plane and the NWS condyle)
