6 Questions
What should be done if the maximum is in premature contact in the central relation and is also premature in equilibrium?
Reduce the maxima
When should the central grasping cusps be preserved?
When adjusting the level of lingual ingress of the buccal end of the mandible
What adjustment is suggested for a premature contact on the balance side?
Adjust the buccal level inclined from the lingual edge of the first maxillary tooth
What is the suggested action if there is a premature contact in a cantilever walk (L-shape)?
Adjust the distal proximal slopes of the upper teeth or the median slopes of the lower teeth
In the context of central prematurity, what should be avoided during adjustment?
Setting both the upper and lower teeth
What adjustment is necessary for a premature contact that is also premature in equilibrium?
Reduce the maxima
Study Notes
Premature Contact
- Maximum reduction is necessary if the maximum is in premature contact in the central relation and also in equilibrium or working.
- Premature contact in the central relation, equilibrium, or working indicates the need to reduce the maxima.
Centric Prematurity
- If the cap is in premature contact in the central relation but not in equilibrium or working, adjustments are necessary.
- Adjustments involve the corresponding fossa or the balance side if there is premature contact.
- Adjust the buccal level inclined from the lingual edge of the first maxillary tooth or the level of lingual ingress of the buccal end of the mandible (tooth).
- Avoid adjusting both the upper and lower teeth.
- Preserve the central grasping cusps by not adjusting the tip of the rim.
Cantilever Walk
- Premature contact in a cantilever walk (L-shape) requires adjustments to achieve the desired connection (M-shape).
- Adjust the distal proximal slopes of the upper teeth to achieve the desired connection.
- Alternatively, adjust the median slopes of the lower teeth to achieve the desired connection.
This quiz assesses understanding of premature contact in dentistry, including central relation, equilibrium, and working relationships. It covers adjustment techniques and concepts such as centric prematurity.
