VDO Flashcards
intermaxillary records are what number visit?
Third patient visit
- 5th overall step
- lab portions between visits
what do we have at the intermaxillary record phase - sequence of this step
occlusion rims – adjusted in mouth THEN facebow registration and centric relation record and then mounted on articulator
inter-ridge space
when natural teeth are in occlusion, ridge crests are approximately a minimum of 12 mm apart in the anterior
posterior? 1-2mm
or height of tongue blade in anterior and width of it in posterior
Freeway space
Inter-occlusal distance
between the teeth when the mandible is at rest (VDR)
when does VDR and VDO occur?
VDR- after swallow – like saying EMMA - after saying the word emma - after say this word the space is the freeway space
VDO - during /end of swallow
movement from VDR to VDO
2-3 mm change when mandible moves up to go to VDO traveling 2-3 mm
freeway space?
increases with age?
average is approx 2-3 mm
closest speaking space
smaller than freeway space
.5-1mm at max
neutral zone
the potential space between the lips and cheeks on one side and the tongue on the other
forces come together
- where we put the teeth to remain in equilibrium
no equilibrium if push too far buccal/lingual
space of donders
space between palate and tongue in VDR - during rest
can be altered with VDO (increase VDO - increase this) and vise versa
can be altered independent of VDO if palate is too thick - can decrease this space
what do occlusal rims mimic?
temporarily the placement of teeth in the oral cavity for the purpose of making maxilla-mandibular relation records and arranging teeth
most clinically dense informational visit we have?
Intermaxillary Records
- adjust occlusion rim -VDO
sequence of intermaxillary records
occlusal plane vertical dimension of occlusion facebow registration centric relation registration tooth selection
beginnings of occlusal plane - what do you know
2/3 height of retro pad we have marked so know the height of this in that area
where do we start
maxillary centrals
where do we begin when adjusting for VDO
start with the upper rim
flare in occlusal rims is there for what?
there is a concavity in the lips and accounts for this
if set rim too far forward?
lips out too far forward
Fricative sounds? what contacts at these sounds? what does it indicate?
Vermillion border contact @ F
F or V sound “55” which determine teh position of incisal edges of central incisors
where lip makes sound against teeth – hits at or near the wet-dry line
how much tooth visible at rest?
about 1-2 mm of teeth visible @ rest
lips slightly parted
full smile? what is revealed? where does lip end up?
maximum visibility and tooth length (CEJ)
free gingival margin - little above CEJ or the gingival zenith
have to record high smile line on rim
acute naso-labial angle?
can see that the pt. is now wearing denture vs. when not - it is more 90 degrees or less acute because the teeth support the lips
what do the teeth do?
- support the lip – there is an acute naso-labial angle
- thicker vermillion border (w/out teeth this flattens and rolls inward)
- esthetics
high smile line is where?
at the CEJ of the centrals
adjust area A with patient to when at rest?
so can see 1-2 mm of the rim
midline comes from?
face
two occlusal planes
lateral - horizontal
and anterio-posterior
lateral plane is parallel?
ALWAYS parallel to the inter-pupillary line
antero-posterior plane is initially parallel to? then modified?
parallel to the ala-tragus line first
then modified upward as needed during rim try in – adjustments made to area D
area on rims that gets most adjustment?
D
fox occlusal plane
permits viewing of both planes on Maxilla simultaneously
what determines if you need to make adjustments to area A?
Phonetics with the fricative sounds - F and V
indicates the position of incisal edges of the central incisors
if too long - interferences
if too short– patient will just be blowing air - will not find their teeth
