Canine Guidance | (cuspid rise)
**_Lateral Movements_** * prevent non-functional cusps from colliding * protects posterior teeth preveting fracturing of our cusps (anterior teeth protect your posterior teeth posterior teeth protect your anterior teeth)
127
Anterior Guidance
**_Protrusive Movements_** * Mechanoreceptors in anterior teeth (protection) * Cause discclusion of the posterior teeth
128
Movement of the mandible to the right right side= left side=
right side= working side left side= non-working/balancing side
129
Movement of the mandible to the left left side= right side=
left side= working side right side= non-working/balancing side
130
as we move our jaw to the right.... the right side become the ____ side and the left side becomes the ___ nonworking side
working side condyle left non working side condyle
131
Working side condyle: Non-working side condyle:
**_Working side condyle:_** Rotates in the fossa **_Non- working side condyle:_** Translates out of fossa down the articular eminence and moves medially
132
Side shift (Bennet Shift)
because our non-working side/ balancing side translates down the eminence and moves medially →side shift of **both** condyles
133
Interferences in a protrusive movements
* Distal inclines of Max lingual cusps against mesial inclines of mandibular fossae and marginal ridges * Mesial inclines of the Mand Buccal cusps againt distal inclines of Max fossae and marginal ridges undesirable protrusive interferences
134
Retrusive movement posterior contacts:
Mand. buccal cusps distal inclines with the mesial inclines of the max fossae and ridges
135
Retrusive movements for condyles move
upward and backward in the retrusive movement
136
eccentric movements take you out of
centric occlusion
137
Favorable working side contacts in laterotrusive movements
Outer inclines of the max lingual cusps w/ inner inclines of mand lingual cusp **Buccal to Buccal** (need sufficent canine guidance)
138
undesireable contact for the working side contacts (lateral movements)
Outer incline of maxillary lingual to inner incline of mandibular lingual (lingual to lingual)
139
Non- working arrow Protrusive working
non-working - red and at an angle protrusive- blue and straight working- green straight perp. to protrusive
140
which arrow is parallel to the oblique ridge?
non working movement | (red)
141
working movement is toward \_\_\_\_side that the mandible moves
same side
142
non working side is on the _____ side when compared to the movement of the mandible
opposite
143
all non-working side contacts are .... | (what are they)
undesireable | (max lingual contacting mand buccal)
144
if madible moves to the left, contact will be latertrusive while the right side will have
mediotrusive contacts | (identical but reversed)
145
Durring lateral movement the only teeth that contact are
**canines** via canine guidance or cuspid rise (all teeth separate)
146
if there is no canine guidance then
develop excess wear, tmj, broken teeth cusps
147
what is happening at the condyle
lateral movement→working condyle→rotates →nonworking side translates down and medially Bennett Shift- Working condyle has a lateral shift because non working side is moving medially
