FACTORS WHICH REGULATE JAW MOTION•The Neuromuscular Role

•Contacts Of Opposing Teeth

•Anatomy And Physiology Of TMJ's •The Action Of Muscles /Ligaments

Page 7: Mandibular Movements

NEUROMUSCULAR ROLE

Mastication is a programmed event residing in a ‘chewing centre’ located within the brain stem, probably in reticular formation of pons.

Page 8: Mandibular Movements

The cerebellum ensures a coordinated response from muscles during mandibular movements, by acting as a feedback control mechanism..

Page 9: Mandibular Movements

Loss of propioceptors, located principally in periodontal ligaments, eliminates an important source of control in positioning of mandible; for the edentulous patients.

Page 10: Mandibular Movements

INFLUENCE OF OPPOSING TOOTH CONTACTS

Opposing tooth surface contacts are related to• occlusal surfaces of teeth• muscles• TMJs’• and neurophysiological components.

Page 11: Mandibular Movements

INFLUENCE OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINTS

Mandibular movements except opening and closing movements at the terminal hinge position, are combinations of rotation and translation.

Page 12: Mandibular Movements

ROTATION:

The movement of a rigid body in which the parts move in circular paths with their centers on a fixed line called the axis of rotation. The plane of the circle in which the body moves is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

TRANSLATION

• The motion of a body at any instant when all points within the body are moving at the same velocity and in the same direction.

Page 13: Mandibular Movements

TMJ

Rotation - in the lower compartment of the TMJ.The translatory or gliding movements - in the upper compartment.

Page 14: Mandibular Movements

• A complex joint.

• GINGLYMOARTHRODIAL JOINT.

• TMJ consists of 4 main structures:-– Condyle– Temporal bone (Squamous part) – Articular disc– Ligaments

Page 15: Mandibular Movements

THE TEMPORO MANDIBULAR JOINT

Articulating part of TMJ includes convex head of mandibular condyle and the convexoconcave part of the temporal bone i.e. mandibular fossa and articular tubercle.

An intrarticular disc made of fibrous tissue divides joint cavity into upper and lower compartments.

LIGAMENTS OF TMJ

1. Fibrous capsule

2. Lateral temporomandibular ligament

3. and two accessory ligaments i.e. sphenomandibular and the stylomandibular ligaments.

TMJ LIGAMENTS

Page 19: Mandibular Movements

ACCESSORY LIGAMENTS

Stylomandibular ligament limits excessive protrusive movement of mandible.

Page 20: Mandibular Movements

MUSCULAR INVOLVEMENT IN JAW MOTION

Page 21: Mandibular Movements

ROLE OF MUSCLES

There are four main muscles of masticationMasseter, Temporalis and the Medial and Lateral Pterygoids.All these except the lateral pterygoids act as ELEVATORS.

Page 22: Mandibular Movements

MASSETER

Functions:-

Elevation

Superficial portion: protrusion

Deep portion : stabilization against articular eminence

Page 23: Mandibular Movements

TEMPORALIS:-

It is a significant positioning muscle of the mandible

• It has 3 types of fibres

– Anterior fibers – or vertical.

– Middle fibers –run obliquely.

– Posterior fibers – consists of fibers that are aligned almost horizontally.

Page 24: Mandibular Movements

MEDIAL PTERYGOID

FUNCTION:• Elevation and protrusion.• Unilateral contraction –mediotrusive movement

Page 25: Mandibular Movements

LATERAL PTERYGOID

Page 26: Mandibular Movements

Function

Inferior Lateral Pterygoid:-• Simultaneous contraction:

depression and protrusion• Unilateral contraction: mediotrusion & movement

to opposite side.

Superior Lateral Pterygoid • During opening: remains

inactive.• Becomes active only in

conjunction with elevator muscles.

• Active during power stroke & when teeth held together

Page 27: Mandibular Movements

THE SUPRAHYOID MUSCLES

These depress the Mandible, if the hyoid bone remains fixed.Thus help when the mouth is opened wide or against resistance.

Page 28: Mandibular Movements

MOVEMENTS

Page 29: Mandibular Movements

OPENING & CLOSING

Lateral Pterygoid is the main muscle responsible for opening.

Opening of mouth is limited by the superior lamina of the articular disc.

Page 30: Mandibular Movements

PROTRUSION AND RETRACTION

Protrusion is brought about by simultaneous contraction of the lateral and medial pterygoids of both sidesWhileRetraction is mainly due to contraction of the posterior horizontal fibres of temporalis muscle

Page 31: Mandibular Movements

CHEWING

Chewing or side to side movements occur due to alternate contraction of muscles of both sides.

Page 32: Mandibular Movements

CERTAIN BASICS : JAW MOTION

Page 33: Mandibular Movements

MANDIBULAR ROTATION

In opening and closing and lateral movements.

Page 34: Mandibular Movements

AXES OF MANDIBULAR ROTATION

Rotation occurs around three axes: transverse, vertical and sagittal, that move constantly during normal jaw function.

Page 35: Mandibular Movements

MOVEMENT ABOUT A HORIZONTAL AXIS, AS SEEN IN A HINGE AXIS OPENING.

Page 36: Mandibular Movements

MOVEMENT OCCURS AROUND A VERTICAL AXIS DURING A LATERAL EXCURSION.

Page 37: Mandibular Movements

THE MANDIBLE ALSO ROTATES AROUND A SAGITTAL AXIS WHEN ONE SIDE DROPS DOWN DURING A LATERAL EXCURSION

Page 38: Mandibular Movements

BASIC JAW POSITIONS

Centric Occlusionit is defined as maximum intercuspation of teeth.

Centric Relationthe most posterior relation of the upper to the

lower jaw from which lateral movements can be made at a given vertical dimension. {Boucher}

Page 39: Mandibular Movements

• CENTRIC RELATION (GPT-8) : the maxillomandibular relationship in which the condyles

articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the antero-superior position against the slopes of articular eminences. This position is independent of tooth contact. This position is clinically discernible when the mandible is directed superiorly and anteriorly.

Page 40: Mandibular Movements

BASIC JAW POSITIONS….

Centric relation is used to transfer position of mandible in relation to maxilla, to an articulator.

The centric occlusion is a tooth determined position, whereas the centric relation is a jaw to jaw relation determined by the condyles in the fossae.

Page 41: Mandibular Movements

TERMINAL HINGE AXIS

When the condyles are in their most superior position in the articular fossae and the mouth is purely rotated open, the axis around which movement occurs is called the ‘Terminal Hinge Axis’.

Page 42: Mandibular Movements

Condylar guidance – “Mandibular guidance generated by the condyle and articular disc traversing the contour of the glenoid fossa”

Incisal guidance – “ The influence of the contacting surfaces of the mandibular and maxillary anterior teeth during mandibular movements”

Page 43: Mandibular Movements

Retruded Contact Position - guided occlusal relationship occurring at the most retruded position of the condyles in the joint cavity.

Page 44: Mandibular Movements

MANDIBULAR MOVEMENTSMandible performs

habitual and border movementsopening and closing movementsprotrusive and lateral movements

And stopping positions along these movements centric occlusion, centric relation, protrusive border position, right and left lateral border positions and a rest position.

Page 45: Mandibular Movements

THE CLINICAL UNDERSTANDING OF MANDIBULAR MOVEMENT PARALLELOGRAM OF FORCES.

Factor of muscle pull related to positioning of mandible after loss of teeth.

Direction of forces is affected by occlusal vertical dimension.

Mainly two parallelograms.

In edentulous, occlusal plane is made parallel to ala-tragus line.

Page 46: Mandibular Movements

THE ENVELOPE OF MOTION.

Defining the limits of possible mandibular motion and certain mandibular reference positions.

Records made in sagittal and frontal planes.

Page 47: Mandibular Movements

Envelope of motion in the sagittal plane.

•CO, Centric occlusion;

•CR, centric relation;

•MHO, maximum hinge-opening position

• MO, point of maximum opening of the jaws

•P, most protruded position of the mandible with the teeth in contact

•Rest, postural rest position

Page 48: Mandibular Movements

SAGITTAL PLANE BORDER & FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS:-1. Posterior opening border.

2. Anterior opening border.3. Superior contact border.

4. Functional.

Page 49: Mandibular Movements

Posterior Opening Border Movements:-1st STAGE

• Condyles: terminal hinge position

• Pure rotational movement

2ND STAGE

• Axis of rotation shifts to bodies of rami.

Page 50: Mandibular Movements

1st STAGE

• Opening range: 20-25mm

• The movements are the only repeatable hinge axis movement of mandible.

2ND STAGE

• Condyles: anteriorly & inferiorly.• Mandible: posteriorly &

inferiorly.• Max opening: 40-60mm.

Page 51: Mandibular Movements

Anterior Opening Border Movements:-

• Generated when closure accompanied by contraction of inferior lateral pterygoid.

• Not a pure hinge movement due to eccentricity.

Page 52: Mandibular Movements

Superior Contact Border Movements• Throughout this entire border movement tooth contact

is present. • It depends on:-– Amount of variation between centric relation and

maximum intercuspation.– The steepness of the cuspal inclines of the

posterior teeth.– Amount of vertical and horizontal overlap of

anterior teeth– Lingual morphology of maxillary anterior teeth.– General inter arch relationships of the teeth.

• Maximum movements-

Opening : 50-60 mmLateral : 10 to 12 mmProtrusive : 8 to 11 mmAnd retrusive range is

about 1 mm.

Page 63: Mandibular Movements

Functional Movements:-

• Occur during functional activity of mandible.• Free movements: take place within border movements.• Occur chiefly around centric.

Page 64: Mandibular Movements

Functional Movements:-• During chewing, the mandible

drops directly inferiorly until the desired opening is achieved.

• It then shifts to the side on which bolus is placed and rises up.

• As it approaches maximum intercuspation, bolus is broken down between the opposing teeth.

• In the final closure, the mandible quickly shifts back to the intercuspal position.

Page 65: Mandibular Movements

EFFECT OF POSTURE

Page 66: Mandibular Movements

Envelope of MotionGives reference positions from where fundamental movements of

mandible occur-– Helps in making vertical & horizontal jaw relation records

• CR– MHO :represents Posterior terminal hinge movement, which is used to locate transverse hinge axis for mounting of casts on articulator.

– The rest position is a guide to re-establishing the proper vertical dimension of occlusion.

Page 67: Mandibular Movements

• Multiple restorations and complete dentures are so constructed that their occlusion is in harmony with

centric relation, because mastication in dentulous occurs at CO but in edentulous at CR.

• Except at the occlusal contact position, where envelope of movement is controlled by teeth, all other contours are controlled by muscles, joints and soft tissue forces.

Envelope of Motion

Page 68: Mandibular Movements

The gothic arch or arrow point tracing.It is a graphic registration of lateral border movements on a horizontal plane, which results in an angular tracing.

The direction of lateral movements is actively determined by the lateral pterygoid muscle on nonworking side and by the deep capsular ligaments of condyle on working side.

Page 69: Mandibular Movements

WORKING & NONWORKING SIDE

The side toward which the mandible moves in a lateral excursion is called Working side

And

The Nonworking side is that side of mandible that moves toward median line in a lateral excursion

Page 74: Mandibular Movements

BENNETT SHIFT

Described by Dr. Norman Bennett in 1908 , it is the direct lateral side shift that occurs simultaneously with a lateral excursion

Page 75: Mandibular Movements

The primary cause :is the contraction of lateral pterygoid muscle because its origin is located medially to its insertion.

When mandible shifts to the side, its movement occurs in two segments-

an immediate side shift in which the major direction of movement is mediolateral

and a progressive side shift, which begins thereafter and continues with the major direction of movement being anterior.

Page 76: Mandibular Movements

Physiological rest position• Established by muscles and gravity.• Is actively determined.• It is a ‘range of posture’• Usually 2-4mm below maximum intercuspation

position, but can be upto 10 mm.• Remains relatively stable for reasonable periods of

time.• Affected by short and long term intra oral and

general health factors and by position of head.

Page 77: Mandibular Movements

Conclusion

Knowledge of Jaw Movements is Essential for Successful Treatment of Patients. It is imperative to learn as much possible about jaw movement, in order to reproduce those aspects of its motion, considered necessary for proper functioning of the occlusion, either natural or artificial.
