• Controlling factors of occlusal rehabilitation So it is imagined as stable inverted tripod at centric relation of mandible
![Page 7: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Classification of maxillofacial prosthesis
To incise food
To aid in speech
To aid in esthetics
To protect the posterior teeth, by directing the teeth together in centric occlusion so that the closing forces will be vertically directed onto the posterior teeth
Functions
anterior guidance is considered to be not a fixed but a variable factor. It can be altered by dental procedures such as restorations, orthodontia, and extractions. It can also be
altered by pathologic conditions such as caries, habits, and tooth wear
![Page 8: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why is incisal guidance important?
If the closing motion of mandible is stopped by the incisal edges of all six lower ant teeth
we have not only taken advantage of the position of the front teeth but also
strehgthened this position by distributing stress.
![Page 9: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
key factor in protecting the posterior teeth.
![Page 11: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
key factor in protecting the posterior teeth.
![Page 12: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Williamson demonstrated that disculsion of all posterior teeth in eccentric jaw position reduces muscle contraction in elevator muscles. This enables us to reduce the load on both the TMJs and the posterior teeth in all excursions
![Page 13: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Which teeth can best accept horizontal forces?
• Damaging horizontal forces of eccentric movement must be directed to the anterior teeth
![Page 14: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You crack the nuts closer to the fulcrum, where you’re maximum mechanical advantage resides. Well the same
principles of physics apply to teeth,
Anterior teeth receive less stress because they are the furthest from the TMJ, which is the fulcrum n muscle force.
![Page 15: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The relationship between the incisal guidance and cuspal inclination.
B. The upper and lower posterior teeth have steep lateral occlusal contours which are in harmony with the steep incisal guidance
D, The upper and lower posterior
teeth have reduced steepness of the lateral inclines which are in harmony with incisal guidance
![Page 17: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RELATION BETWEEN ANTERIOR AND CONDYLAR GUIDANCE
Kohno and Nakano The inclination of the incisal
path should be equal to the inclination of the condylar path. The incisal path should not be flatter than the condylar path in the sagittal plane. A jerky condylar
movement will result from an incisal path that is flatter than the condylar path.
![Page 20: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What happens when condyles slide curved pathways of ementiae
•If the condyles slide forward the lower ant teeth have to move forward too.
•It is a popular fallacy that whatever the condyles follow must be duplicated in the lingual surface of the upper ant. teeth so the lower ant teeth can follow the same path.
![Page 21: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Condylar paths do not dictate the ant guidance and there is no need to even try to make the ant guidance duplicate
condylar guidance.
This allows the front end of the mandible to follow a completely
different path without interfering with the condylar
path.
advocates of such concept they have failed to recognize that the condlyes rotate as
they move along their protusive pathways.
![Page 22: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The path that the condyles travel dictates the outer limits to which the mandible can move. Path that front end of the mand follows is dictated by functional movements of muscle as it relates the lower ant teeth to upper ant teeth in the chewing cycle.
Each of these patients has same outer limits of motion but each has different envelope of function. Even though condylar guidance is same the ant teeth would be contoured differently.
![Page 23: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ant guidance is a separate entity and must be determined in the mouth where the
determinants of ant tooth position can be observed in function.
![Page 24: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The arrangement of entire occlusal scheme starts with the lower ant teeth
![Page 25: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Analysis of lower anterior teeth• Analyze lower anterior segment from several different
perspectives.
• If the teeth are stable , function comfortably and are esthetically acceptable to the patient there would be rarely any need to change them
![Page 26: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• There shud be no signs of instability. Like wear, hypermobility, tooth migration etc.
• Every contour has a purpose that is related to function.
![Page 27: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Both visual and digital examination should be used to determine whether any teeth are being moved during lateral excursions
• Correction usually consists of reshaping the upper lingual contours. Correction of upper lingual contours is patterned to accomplish two effects : redirection of force vector and improved distribution of forces.
![Page 28: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Modification of Incisal Guidance
Steep incisor guidance
• Increase VDO when indicated• Reduce incisal edges of lower ant.• Place pin ledge inlays on lingual surface of upper
anteriors– Restore tooth contact in centric position– Formation of fav. Ecc. Incisor guide contours
![Page 29: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Harmonizing the Anterior guidance
Lower anterior teeth reshaped and restored
![Page 30: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Establish coordinated centric relation stops on all anterior teeth
![Page 31: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• There should be no deviation from centric contact . Incase present should be removed by removing interferences
• If no contact on some teeth are present after deviation is eleminated we hv three choices
![Page 32: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CLOSE VERTICAL BY GRINDING
![Page 33: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
BUILD UP TEETH TO CONTACT
![Page 34: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ESTABLISHING LONG CENTRIC
![Page 35: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Extend centric stops forward at the same vertical to include light closure from the postural rest position.
![Page 36: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Establish group function (of the anterior teeth) in straight protrusion.
• Establish ideal anterior stress distribution in lateral excursions.
![Page 37: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Analyzing incisal edge outline.
In most of patients the incisal edges have lost
Definite line angles
a common mistake is to round the edges, instead of preserving
the definite line angles
![Page 38: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Labio incisal line angle is too low
and angle of incisal edge is too
high for stability and as a holding
stop and is also unesthetic
![Page 39: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Lingual line angle is too low
result is poor esthetics n
problem with excursive
movements
![Page 40: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Rounded edge are the first
Worst
esthetic contour
Not acceptable holding
contact
![Page 41: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Proper incisal edge contour is necessary for optimum occlusal stability. It can be! analyzed from two perspectives:
a lateral view and an incisal view.
A correct lingual line angle
is higher than the labio
incisal angle
![Page 42: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
RELATING THE INCISAL PLANE
The lower incisal edges viewed together form the
incisal plane. It is as important to phonetics as
it is to esthetics.
![Page 43: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
RELATING LOWER INCISAL EDGES TO THE LIPS
LIPS SEALED:
• THE LOWER INCISAL EDGE IS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE JUNCTURE OF THE UPPER AND LOWER LIPS
![Page 44: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
lips slightly pated and jaws at rest : • at this position the upper lip completely
covers the maxillary teeth while the lower lip droops down to expose approximately one half of the labial surface of the mand incisors..
![Page 45: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Relation during speech:
During speech the lower ant teeth are in view and the upper teeth are generally covered.
During smiling, the lower teeth are completely covered and the upper ant teeth are exposed.
![Page 46: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Detection of neutral zone problems for anterior teeth
• Observing the condition of the alveolar process on the labial surface and noting its contour.
• Observing the angulation of the anterior teeth.• • outward pressure of the tongue and the inward
pressure of the perioral musculature set the limits within which the teeth can he stable.
![Page 47: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
INCLINATION OF LOWER INCISORS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NEUTRAL ZONE PRESSURES THAT RESULT
FROM PERIORAL MUSCULATURE AND TONGUE.
![Page 48: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
SURGICAL PROCEDURES
• The procedure advocated by Frederick involves a surgical cut vertically-through the buccinator muscle just anterior to mental foramen.
• This is foIlowed at the same appointment by vestibuloplasty from mesial of the second bicuspid around to the opposite side at the same position.
![Page 49: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
RELATING LOWER INCISOR POSITION WITH CEPHALOMETRICS
• Lower incisors seem to remain stable if they are positioned at a 90-degree angulation to a line drawn from the hinge axis point to the incisal edge.
• This is referred to as the hinge axis angle.
![Page 50: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Ricketts has advocated relating the lower incisors to the A-Po plane.
• Labial surface of the lower incisor is approximately 1 mm forward of the A-Po plane, its position is in harmony with the basal jaw
![Page 51: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
CENTRIC RELATION STOPS
The position of lower incisor in centric relation determine the start of contour of the upper ant teeth.
Lower incisal outline determines the reciprocal contour for each holding
contact on upper teeth
![Page 52: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
LIP SUPPORT
The labial contours of upper ant teeth should support the upper lip at rest. It should neither sink nor bulge
Natural drape should be der.
the upper half of the labial contour relates directly to the labial contour of the alveolus. It should be nearly parallel and continuous with tissue over root.
![Page 53: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
LIP CLOSURE PATH
Lower lip should go smoothly past the labio incisal line angle of upper incisors.There should be no feeling of strain
![Page 54: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
TOOTH TO LIP RELATION DURING F AND V SOUNDS
When f and v sound are made upper incisal edges should contact the
vermilion border of lip.
![Page 55: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The smile line: the incisal edges should contact the smiling lip line contour without
strain
![Page 56: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
In making S sound the flow of air must be constricted into a flat wide band between the hard surfaces of the lower and upper teeth. The position may vary from near contact in some patients to edge to edge contact in others.
![Page 57: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
If the s sound is made at an overlap position the lower incisal plane is more likely to have a convex
bow to its contour so that it can fit the concavity of the upper lingual surfaces.
![Page 58: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• It the s sound is made at an edge to edge position the lower incisal plane is likely to be flatter.
![Page 59: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
• As a general rule more convex the incisal plane on the upper teeth more convex it will be on lower teeth. A convex upper incisal plane caannot make a clear s sound at end to end position because air leaks out at sides.
![Page 60: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
If the lower incisal plane does not closely approximate the contour of the upper arch during the s sound lisping results because of using the tongue to fill in the void so that the air can be squeezed into the flattened band to produce a crisp s sound.
![Page 61: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
DETERMINING LINGUAL CONTOURS FOR UPPER ANTERIOR TEETH
THE ENVELOPE OF FUNCTION IS INCORPORATED INTO THE
LINGUAL CONTOURS AFTER THE INCISAL EDGES ARE DETERMINED.
![Page 62: The Function and Importance of Incisal Guidance In](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/54612570af795935708b588b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Analyzing cingulum contourCingulum contour should conform with the natural position of the tongue during t and d sounds.
If the lingual surface must be extended to provide a holding contact for lower incisors n this may interfere with t-d togue position. Problem must be explained to patient.
Patients adapt with time
