Study Notes

Andrews' Six Keys to Normal Occlusion

One of the six keys is not the "Curve of Wilson"
The key interarch relationship is the "Cusp-embrasure relationship"
The characteristic "Tooth color" is not identified as one of the six keys

Curve of Spee

The range of the flat curve of Spee should be 0.5 to 1.5 mm
A deep curve of Spee results in a decreased overbite

Crown Angulation and Inclination

The term "Crown angulation (tip)" refers to the mesial-distal angulation of the crown
Andrews' six keys to normal occlusion include crown inclinations of 10-15 degrees for anterior teeth and 15-20 degrees for posterior teeth

Jaw Growth and Development

The lower jaw's growth sometimes exceeds that of the upper jaw in the anterior direction

Molar Crowns

The main function of the Facial Axis of molar crowns is to guide the mandible into a centric relation

Occlusion and Space Management

Inadequate crown contours should be corrected with jackets or crowns to avoid closing spaces at the expense of good occlusion
The average inter-incisal crown angle is 130-135 degrees

Space Occupancy

A rotated molar occupies more space than a normal molar

Tight Contacts

"Tight Contacts" in dentistry refer to the tight proximal contacts between teeth

Curve of Spee Characteristics

The Curve of Spee ranges from a flat surface to a slight concave surface

Causes of Crowded Lower Anterior Teeth

Crowded lower anterior teeth and/or a deeper overbite and deeper curve of Spee are caused by excessive growth of the mandible
