-
Why do we mount the casts to the articulator?
Because we want to duplicate the teeth and related structures as well as to simulate jaw movement in order to fabricate restorations that will work in the stomatognathic system
-
What instruments do we use to mount the casts?
- Facebow
- Bitefork attachment
- Nasion Relator
-
Articulator
A mechanical instrument that represents the TMJs and jaw, to which maxillary and mandibular casts may be attached to simulate some or all mandibular movements
-
Class I Articulator
- Non adjustable
- Vertical motion
-
Class II Articulator
- Semi adjustable
- Vertical and horizontal motions but not oriented to TMJ
-
Class III Articulator
- Semi adjustable
- Simulates the condylar pathways
- Arcon and non-arcon
-
Class IV Articulator
- Fully adjustable
- Simulation of most mandibular movements
- Condylar guidance/inclination can be adjusted
- Inter codylar distance can be adjusted
-
Arcon advantage
- Condylar inclination of the mechanical fossae is at a fixed angle to the maxillary occlusal plane
- With the non-arcon design, the angle changes as the articulator is opened
-
Facebow
- Caliper like instrument used to record the spatial relationship of the maxillary arch to some anatomic reference point and then transfer this to an articulator
- Orients dental cast in same relationship to opening of the articulator
- Anatomic references are usually the mandibular condyles, transverse horizontal axis and one other anterior point (nasion)
-
Occlusion record
- Registration of opposing occluding surfaces made at any maxillomandibular relationship
- Centric record
- Eccentric record
- - protrusive record
- - lateral excursive record
-
Record Base
- Supports occluding surfaces
- Used when there is no 3 point contact
- Stabilize base occlusion rims (SBOR)
- Use of Triad or acrylic resin with registration material and/or wax
- Interocclusal record use for partially edentulous case
-

-
Mandibular movements
- Complex 3D movement that can be broken down into two basic components
- Translation - when all points within thebody have identical motin
- Rotation - when the body is turning about an axis
- 3 perpendicular planes are frontal, sagittal, and horizontal
-
Mandibular movements - Sagittal Plane
- Mandible is capable of a purely rotational movement as well as translation
- Rotation occurs around the terminal hinge axisRotational movement is limited to about 12mm of incisor separation before the TM ligaments and structure anterior to the mastoid process force the mandible to translate
-
Mandibular movements - Horizontal Plane
- Lateral movement - rotation on the horizontal plane occurs during lateral movement of the mandible. The vertical axis is situated in the condylar process. There is relatively little translation
- Protrusive movement - mandible can make a straight protrusive (anterior) movement
-
Mandibular Movements - Frontal Plane
- Lateral movement - mediotrusive condyle moves down and medially whereas laterotrusive condyle rotates around the sagittal axis
- Protrusive movement - condylar process moving downward
-
Centric Relation
- Condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective discs with the complex in the anterior-superior position againt the shapes of the articular eminence
- Independent of tooth contact
- Clinically discernable when the mandible is directed superiorly and anteriorly
- Restricted to purely rotary movement about the transverse horizontal axis
-
Techniques to get CR:
- Bimanual manipulation: using both thumbs on the chin and the fingers on the inferior border of the mandible to guide the jaw
- Anterior programming device: individually fabricated guide table that allows mandibular motion wihtout the influence of tooth contacts and facilitates the recording of maxillomandiublar relationships; also used for deprogramming
- Deprogrammer: various types of devices or materials used to alter the proprioceptive mechanism during mandibular closure
- Leaf gauge: set of blades or leaves of increasing thickness used to measure distance between two points or to provide metered separation
- Lucia jig: anterior programming device
-
Maximal Intercuspal Position
- Complete intercuspation of the oppsosing teeth independent of condylar position
- Sometimes referred to as the "best fit" of the teeth regardless of the condylar position
-
CR vs MIP
- CR is considered a reliable and reproducible reference position - so if MI coincides with CR, restorative tx is often straightforward
- When MI doesn't coincide with CR, it is necessary to determine whether corrective occlusal therapy is needed before restorative tx
- CR not the same as MI = 2 reference position options to choose from - choice is determined by clinical parameters given
-
Is there a difference between mounting diagnostic casts and mounting working casts?
- YES
- Diagnostic casts - always mount on CR
- Working casts - mount position depends on the requirement of tx
-
MIP
- Complete intercuspation of opposing teeth
- Independent of condylar position
- Sometimes referred to as best fit of teeth
-
Centric Occlusion
- Occlusion of opposing teeth when the madnible is in centric relation
- Position may or may not coincide with MIP
-
Static Occlusal Relationships
-
Dynamic Occlusal Movements

- - working - a lateral mandibular movement away from the maxillary midline
- - non-working - toward the maxillary midline
- Working side condyle pivots, non working translates
-
Angle Classification Molar Classification
- System of occlusion based on the interdigitation of the 1st molar teeth
- Anteroposterior classification
- Class I - neutrocclusion
- Class II - distocclusion, division 1 and 2
- Class III - mesiocclusion
-
Class I Occlusion
MB cusp of Mx 1st molar aligns with buccal groove of Mn 1st
-
Class II Occlusion
- Division I: bilateral distal retrusion with protruding maxillary incisors
- Division II: retruded maxillary central incisors and labially malopposed maxillary lateral incisors, excessive vertical overlap
- Buccal groove is posterior to MB cusp
-
Class III Occlusion
Buccal groove is anterior to MB cusp
-
Morphologic Characteristics of Ideal Occlusion
- Anteroposterior plane: horizontal overlap 2-4mm
- Vertical plane: anterior teeth overlap 30-50%
- Transverse plane: dental midlines aligned, posterior teeth with normal, good cusp to fossa relationship
-
Mutually Protected Occlusion
- Posterior teeth prevent excessive contact of anterior teeth in maximum intercuspation
- Anterior teeth disengage the posterior teeth in all mandibular excursive movements
- Simultaneous contact of posterior teeth
- Axial loading of posterior teeth
- Light contact of anterior teeth
- Working - no posterior interferences; disocclude canines
- Protrusive - anterior teeth disocclude posterior teeth
- Non-working - no contacts
-

- Arch size discrepancy
- Disrupted occlusal plane
- Anterior open bite
- Unfavorable functional contacts
-
Levels of excursive guidance

- Nonworking
-
Objectives for occlusal equilibration
- maximum number of posterior holding contacts
- slight decrease in VDO
- once all posterior contacts have been acheived, never grind out of contact
- keep contacts off of inclined planes
- During protrusion, distribute contacts over as many anteriors as possible - at least 2 centrals!
-
Equilibration limitations
- Enamel thickness/restoration - 2-2.5mm at cusp tips, less in fossa
- Tooth position
- Skeletal relationship
- Guideline - rule of thirds
-
Rule of Thirds
- Occlusal Adjustment
- Restorative Treatment
- Orthodontic Treatment
-
Occlusal Equilibration Technique
- Raise incisal pin
- Ensure centric lock is engaged
- Adjustments in CO
- Excursive adjustments (adjust lingual of mx incisors rather than shortening mn incisors)
-
Adjustments in CO
- Cusp Repositioning: identify contact on incline plane, determine desired direction of contact movement, adjust opposite slope of the opposing cusp that created the contact
- Selection of Fossae: centric fossae= ideal, minimalizes excursive interferences
- Fossae Repositioning: some fossa may not be attainable w/o gross reduction of teeth, flatten incline plane to allow for axial loading
- Ideal Contact Position/Adjustment Incomplete: shorten cusp, deepen fossa

-
Light
Visible EM energy whose wavelength is measured in nanometers
-
Color is influenced by 3 main factors
- Physical properties of the objectAssessment of the observer
- Nature of incident light
- - Relationship to other colored objects
-
Pure white light
- relatively equal quantities of EM energy over the VLS
- When passed through a prism we see component colors of white light
- Shorter wavelengths bend more than longer wavelengths
-
Quality of Light/ 3 Types
- Incandescent Light
- Fluorescent Light
- Natural Daylight
-
Incandescent Light
- Emits a high concentration of yellow waves
- Not suitable for shade matching
- Low color rendering index (CRI)
-
Fluorescent Light
- Emits high concentration of blue waves
- Not suitable for shade matching
- CRI= 50-80
-
Natural Daylight
- Northern daylight considered the best
- Closest to emitting the full spectrum of white light
- Used as the standard by which to judge other light sources
- CRI close to 100
-
Color Rendering Index
- CRI= 0-100
- Indicates how well a light source renders color as compared to a standard source
- Northern daylight can by affected by:
- - time of day
- - cloud cover
- - humidity
- - pollution
-
CRI and time of day
- Morning and evening: shorter wavelengths scatter before penetrating atmosphere; daylight rich in yellow/orange, lacks blue/green
- Mid-day: hours around noon=ideal, incident daylight is most balanced within VLS, full spectrum of colors visible
-
Color Temperature
- Another light source reference standard
- Related to the color standard black body when heated
- Reported in degrees Kelvin
- 1000K= red
- 2000K= yellow
- 5555K= white
- 6500K= northern daylight
- 8000K= pale blue
-
Color
Quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, chroma, and value
-
Substractive Color
- Used in pigments for making paints, inks, fabrics, etc
- Primary subtractive colors: red, yellow, and blue
- Secondary subtractive colors: green, purple, and orange
- When subtractive primary colors are combined they produce black
- "Subtracting light by laying color over it"
-
Additive Color
- These are the color obtained by emitted light
- Associated with television and computer displays
- Primary additive colors are: red, blue, and green
- Secondary additive colors are: cyan, yellow, and magenta
- When additive colors are combined they produce white
-
Hue
- Variety of color (red, green, yellow, etc)
- Determined by the wavelength of observed light within the VLS
- Reflected wavelength determines hue
-
Chroma
Intensity or saturation of a hue
-
Value
- Relative darkness or lightness of a color or brightness of an object
- Range 0-10 (0=black, 10=white)
- Amount of light energy an object reflects or transmits
- Objects of different hues/chroma can be identical value
- Restorations too high in value are easily detected
-
Color Perception
- Rods: scotopic, interpret brightness not color, highest concentration in peripheral retina
- Cones: photopic vision, interpret color, more active under high light, highest concentration on central retina (macula)
-
Color Adaptation
- Color vision decreases rapidly as object is observed
- Color viewed dulls, while its compliment increases in intensity (fatigue)
- Viewing a pale blue or gray surface between shade matching will restore color vision
-
Metamerism
Two colors that appear to be a match under a given lighting condition but have different spectral reflectance= metamere
-
Color Blindness
- 8% males, 0.5% females
- Achromatism: complete lack of color sensitivity
- Dichromatism: sensitivity to two primary hues
- Anomalous Trichromatism: sensitivity to all three hues with abnormality in retinal cones affecting one of primary pigments
-
Shade Selection
- Subjective evaluation with considerable variation
- Subtle variations can exist without causing disharmony in smile (restoration contour, value of restoration)
- Process improved by applying principles of light and color
-
Principles of Shade Selection
- Teeth to be matched must be clean
- Remove bright colors from field of view (makeup, tinted eye glasses, bright gloves, neutral operatory walls)
- View patient at eye level
- Evaluate shade under multiple light sources
- Make shade comparisons at beginning of appointment
- Shade comparisons should be made quickly to avoid eye fatigue
