Study Notes
Carved Occlusion Rims
- Carved occlusion rims should precisely guide tooth placement.
- These guides include:
- Guide lines
- Occlusal plane
- Lip support
- Jaw relationships
Guide Lines
- Smile line: The harmonious curve formed by the maxillary incisal edges and the upper lip border.
- Midline: A vertical line determining the center of the face.
- Canine line: A line extending from the canine tooth.
Occlusal Plane
- Anterior occlusal plane: Parallel to the interpupillary line.
- Posterior occlusal plane: Parallel to the ala-tragus line.
Lip Support
- Proper lip support is crucial for esthetics.
Jaw Relationships
- Vertical dimension of occlusion: The correct vertical relationship of the upper and lower jaw.
- Centric relation: The correct relationship of the jaw bones in the most retruded position.
