What is vertical dimension?
|
1) the height of the lower third of the face
2) the distance between the upper and the lower arches |
|
Define articulate (2)
|
1) to join together as a joint
2) the relating of contacting surfaces of the teeth in the maxilla and the mandible |
|
Is CR a reproducible position? Define CR:
|
Yes.
It is the maxillomandibular relationship in which the: (2002 definition) 1) CONDYLES articulate with the Thinnest portion of their respective disks 2) The disks are in the ANTERIOR/SUPERIOR position against the articular eminences 3) Restricts the patient to purely rotational movement |
|
What are the three general parts of the TMJ?
|
1) Upper fixed component
2) Lower movable component 3) An interspersed fibrous disc with associated fibrous and muscular attachments |
|
What is "Freeway space"?
|
That is the difference in distance between VDO and VDR
2-4 mm |
|
What are the three main categories of mandibular positions?
|
1) MI
2) CR 3) Eccentric positions or movements |
|
Define Protrusive movement:
|
The forward or anterior movement of the mandible.
Requires or involves translation of one or both condyles |
|
Define Occlusion (2)
|
1) Act or process of closure
2) The STATIC relationship between the incising or masticating surfaces of the teeth |
|
what are the two types of vertical dimension?
|
1) Vertical dimension of Occlusion: distance between max and mand when teeth are in MI
2) Vertical Dimension at Rest: Distance between the max and mand when in physiological rest position |
|
What is a dental articulator?
|
a mechanical instrument that represents the TMJ and the Upper and lower jaws.
It functions to simulate how the lower jaw moves in relation to the upper jaw |
|
What is lateral protrusive?
|
A protrusive movement of the jaw in which there is a lateral component
|
|
Name two basic mandibular movements.
|
1) hinge axis movement
2) "Translation" |
|
What happend with the condyle of the non working side?
|
1) Shifts medially the same distance .5-1.5 mm
2) moves anteriorly and inferiorly along ARTICULAR EMINENCE 3) Produces the BENNETT angle |
|
What are the four components of the stomatognathic system?
|
1) neuro muscular
2) dentition 3) Right TMJ 4) Left TMJ |
|
What is Mediotrusion?
|
The movement of the condyle medially (non working side movement)
|
|
What is the max opening in hinge movement?
|
25 mm (measured from incisal edges)
|
|
What is a Bennett angle?
|
The angle created between the protrusive pathway and the non-working pathwath of the CONDYLE
|
|
When you combine hinge and translation, how far can you open?
|
Average is in the area of 50mm
|
|
What is Laterotrusion?
|
Condylar movement ont he working side
|
|
What happens in the condylar region in working side?
|
Think about Bennet movement
1) shifts laterally .5-1.5mm 2) Rotates in a posterior direction |
|
What is Centric occlusion:
|
Used to refer to MI (Only in ideal occlusion).
It is the occlusion when the mandible is in Centric Relation |
|
What is mutually protected occlusion?
|
1) Anterior teeth protect posterior teeth and vice versa
|
|
What is Centric Relation (CR)?
|
A position which is NOT base on Tooth to tooth contact.
Based on anatomical structures of the TMJ |
|
What discludes the posterior teeth in incisal acts?
|
the anterior guidance
|
|
What happens if you have a greater degree of condylar guidance? Lesser?
|
The greater/lesser degree of posterior tooth disclusion
|
|
What is physiological rest position?
|
PR represents the normally relaxed state of the lower jaw. It hangs open 2-3 mm.
Force of gravity is equal to the neuromascular tonality of muscles of mastication |
|
What is working side movement?
|
Lateral movement of the jaw toward the chewing side
|
|
What are non-working side contacts?
|
UNDESIRABLE (natural dentition)
Contacts of the teeth on the side opposite toward which the mandible moves in articulation "Balancing contacts" in full dentures |
|
What are eccentric positions?
|
Off center movements or positions.
1) Protrusive 2) Lateral 3) Medial |
|
What is condylar guidance?
|
It refers to angulationand curvature of the bony structures of TMJ
These are FIXED |
|
What determines protrusive movement?
|
1) condylar guidance
2) anterior guidance |
|
What happens with a greater horizontal overlap (overjet)?
|
The further the lower incisors will have to travel before contacting the lingual surfaces of the upper incisors
A later and lesser disclusion of the back teeth |
|
What is MI?
|
Maximum intercuspation:
Refers to a TOOTH-TOOTH postion "Swallow and stay closed" |
|
What is Canine guidance?
|
The canines will guide the lateral protrusive movement and DISCLUDE all other teeth and guide the teeth back into occlusion
|
|
What happens with an overbite?
|
That is a greater vertical overlap, therefore the greater the amount of disengagement
|
