Study Notes

Centric occlusion (CO) is the tooth contact position when the jaw is in centric relation.
Tooth contact during CO may be more retruded than at the intercuspation point (ICP).
Postural jaw position (PJP) is the position of the jaw when an individual is sitting or standing upright and relaxed.
A free way space or speaking space is present in the mouth.
Occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is the vertical height of the lower third of the face when teeth contact in ICP.
Lateral jaw positions refer to the side of the jaw that moves during lateral movements.
There are two types of lateral jaw positions: working side (which the mandible moves to) and non-working/balancing side (which the condyle moves down and medially).
Bennett movement is the bodily lateral movement of the mandible resulting from the movements of the condyles along the lateral inclines in the mandibular fossa.
Bennett Angle is the angle formed by the movement of the balancing condyle with the sagittal plane during lateral jaw movement.
Overjet is the horizontal overlap of the incisors and the relationship between upper and lower incisors in the horizontal plane.
Normal overjet is the thickness of the upper edges of the upper incisors in contact with the lower incisors.
Overbite is the vertical overlap of the incisors.
Normal overbite is when the lower incisor edges contact the lingual surface of the upper incisors at or above the cingulum.
Overjet and overbite are measured from the labial surface of the lower incisor to the labial surface of the upper incisor.
Complete overbite is when the lower incisors contact either the upper incisors or the palatal mucosa.
Anterior crossbite refers to a deviation from the normal buccolingual relationship, may be anterior or posterior, or unilateral or bilateral.
Anterior crossbite can be diagnosed using an articulator.
An articulator is a mechanical device used to represent the temporomandibular joints and the jaw members to which maxillary and mandibular casts may be attached to simulate jaw movements.
Uses of an articulator include diagnosing the state of occlusion for both natural and artificial dentition, planning dental procedures based on the relationship between opposing natural or artificial teeth, aiding in the fabrication of restorations, and correcting and modifying completed restorations.
Properly-mounted casts allow the operator to visualize the patient's occlusion, especially from the lingual view.
Using an articulator eliminates the difficulty of refining complete denture occlusion in the mouth.
The upper member of an articulator is a triangular frame with the base of the triangle placed posteriorly and two condylar elements projecting on either side.
The lower member of an articulator is an L-shaped frame with a horizontal arm and a vertical arm.
The horizontal arm of the lower member contains the incisal guide table, which maintains the incisal guidance of the articulator.
The vertical arm of the lower member contains the condylar guidance slot at the upper position.
The incisal guide table is a short cylindrical part of the articulator that maintains the incisal guidance angle.
The incisive rod helps keep a fixed distance between the upper and lower members at the anterior end.
The tip of the incisal guide pin serves as the anterior reference point in the articulator.
