THE BASIC MOVEMENTS OF THE MANDIELE

1. Rotation Movement

= hinge movement .

1. Translation Movement

(gliding movement.)

Hinge movement = rotationHinge movement = rotation Rotation movement =

hinge movement.

It is the rotation of the

mandible around an

imaginary hinge axis at

the centers of the

condyles. It occurs in the lower

compartment of the joint

Gliding or translationGliding or translation

It is the body movement of the mandible.It occurs in the upper compartment.

Condyle in retroded .no movement position

Condyle performing rotation=hinge movement Condyle

performing anterior translation=gliding.

TranslationTranslation

Protrosion movementProtrosion movement

It is the forward movement of the mandible.

The mandible does not move in pure forward movement.

The mandible moves down ward and forward = Gliding = translation movement.

It occurs when the mandible moves from retroded position to -edge to edge position- to- reverse over jet, of anterior teeth.

Excursive MovementsExcursive Movements

Protrusive – No Posterior Contact

The lower anterior teeth ride up the lingual of the maxillary anterior teeth as the jaw goes forward.

Condylar pathCondylar path

Condylar path inclination varies according to the amount of protrusion. a-b Sagittal condylar path inclination. Centric relation position of the condyle. 4-P. 4 mm protrusion.8P. 8 mm protrusion

Edge to edge position.

Christensen Phenomena When the mandible moves to edge to edge position , separation occurs distally between the natural dentition or occlusion rims .

Protrusive

Record

The protrusive relationship determines the angle of the horizontal condylar path

Anterior biting to reverse vertical overlap.

Lateral Movement .Working side = the side which the movement take place

Lateral Movement. ) non working side =the side which the

mandible moves away from.

Vertical Dimension of rest

The vertical dimension of the face when the mandible is in rest position.

Vertical Dimension of occlusion

The vertical dimension of the face when the teeth are in contact in centric occlusion.

Freeway space= V.D.R. – V.D.O. = 2-4mm

The centric relationThe centric relation

It is the relation between the mandible and the maxilla when the mandible in the physiologic retroded position at the vertical dimension of occlusion.

Importance: it is the point from which all movemnt of the mandible will start and end must be recorded to arrange the teeth in this position
