Feeding

Question 1

feeding sequence components

Answer 1

ingestion - external to mouth, anterior teeth
stage 1 transport - posterior teeth, pull back, retraction of hyoid
mechanical processing - broken down, saliva, molars, squahsed on hard palate
stage 2 - bolus moved backwards

Question 2

food processing muscles

Answer 2

mandibular muscles
suprahyoid
tongue muscles
lips and cheeks

Question 3

tongue actions in chewing

Answer 3

control/transport bolus
gathers food, oclussal table, keeps of chewing surfaces, tongue/cheek in reciprocal manner, side to side and gathers for transport
forward movement and opening - squeze back mechanisms in tongue and hard palate
pharyngeal surface and wallowing

Question 4

chewing cycle phases

Answer 4

opening - jaw depressor muscle active
occlusal - mandible stationary, teeth joined
closing - jaw elevator muscles active

Question 5

balanced articulation

Answer 5

consider with prostheses
consider tongue movement

Question 6

chewing performance

Answer 6

mehcanicl breakdown - facilitates swallowing, improve GI

Question 7

poor masticatory perfomance

Answer 7

deteriorated can result in dietary restructuons
correlates with occlusal contact area

Question 8

shortened dental arch

Answer 8

20 teeth, acceptable masticator function, aesthetics, maintenance of OH
occlusal stabiity, comfort, appearance

Question 9

failure of shortened dental arch

Answer 9

occlusal isntability, occlusal collapse of bite, reduced biting ability, speech issues

Question 10

maximum bite force

Answer 10

reduce in dentures, carried by mucosa of residual ridge = nto designed to bear masticatory loads
bite force increase by supporting dentures on teeth/implants
