Q

Superior border movements are determined by the characteristics of

A

the occluding teeth.

25
Throughout this entire movement tooth contact is present
Superior contact border movement
26
The initial tooth contact of Superior contact border movement occurs between the _____ inclines of the maxillary teeth and the _____ inclines of the mandibular teeth.
mesial; distal
27
The average distance between CR-MIP in 90% of the population is _____
1.25 +/- 1mm
28
Where does the superior contact border movement begin?
Centric relation
29
Normal contact in the superior contact border movement will result in what teeth initially contacting?
Posterior 2nd molar
30
The mandible moves forward from MIP to edge to edge. This is determined by the ______ surfaces of the maxillary anterior teeth.
lingual surfaces
31
From edge to edge the mandible can move further ______ for the width of the incisal edges.
horizontally
32
Continued forward movement of the mandible, with the anterior teeth in contact, results in superior movement guided by the _______ of mandibular anterior teeth.
lingual surfaces
33
Continued forward movement of the mandible is guided by the ____ teeth until the mandible reaches maximum protrusion.
posterior teeth
34
habitual position of the mandible when the patient is resting comfortably in the upright position and the condyles are in a neutral unstrained position in the glenoid fossae. In this position there is an equilibrium between the forces acting on the mandible.
Postural position (PP)
35
In the _____ position the muscles are not totally relaxed. There is a degree of electromyographic activity. This position is determined by the muscles and the forces of gravity. IT DOES NOT GIVE US ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONDYLES OR THE TEETH
Postural position (PP)
36
The condyles are usually _____ and ______ in postural position compared to their CR position.
anteriorly and inferiorly
37
In this position, the teeth are apart and there is a wedge space between the teeth.
Postural position (PP)
38
the teeth are apart and there is a wedge space between the teeth called _____
Interocclusal space
39
What is the interocclusal space in PP between the incisors?
2-3mm
40
What is the interocclusal space in PP between the premolars?
2mm
41
What is the interocclusal space in PP between the molar?
3/4-1mm
42
Postural position (PP) is located some ____ below the intercuspal position (ICP)
2-4 mm
43
The postural position Clinically is used to determined the _______ in edentulous patients or in patients with severely worn dentition
Occlusal Vertical Dimension (OVD)
44
The ______ is the distance measured between two points when the occluding members are in contact.
Occlusal Vertical Dimension
45
The Vertical Dimension at Rest (in the physiological rest position) is usually ____ greater than the Occlusal Vertical Dimension.
2-3 mm
46
The _____ is the space between the occlusal surfaces of the teeth when the mandible is at rest and the muscles in a state of minimum contraction
freeway space
47
The chewing stroke starts at the MIP and drops ____ and _____ to the position of desired opening.
downwards and forwards
48
The chewing stroke starts at the MIP and drops downwards and forwards to the position of desired opening. It returns in a straighter pathway slightly ____
posterior
49
Which plane is the movement of the mandible in a rhomboid-shaped pattern?
Horizontal plane
50
Contraction of the right inferior lateral pterygoid causes the right condyle to move ______ and ______
anteriorly and medially
51
The outer range of movement is greater in the ____ stages of mastication.
early
52
The outer range of movement is smaller in the ____ stages of mastication
late
53
The further the mandible opens, the _____ the rhomboids of the horizontal plane gets
Smaller
54
Which plane produces a shield-shaped pattern?
Frontal plane
55
The _____ superior border from frontal plane: From MIP the mandible moves to the Left.The path is determined primarily by the morphology and interarch relationship of the teeth.The maximum lateral border position is determined by the ligaments of the rotating condyle.
Left lateral superior border
56
The ________ is 3D; Combination of border movements in all 3 planes: a.sagittal, b.horizontal, c.frontal; differs from person to person but it has the same characteristic shape
Envelope of motion
57
The ____ surface of the envelope is determined by the tooth contacts
superior surface
58
Besides the superior surface of the envelope, The other borders are primarily determined by the _____ and ____
TMJ anatomy and the ligaments
