1. Orientation Relation
establish references in the cranium
relationship of the jaw to the TMJ oropening axis of the jaw
opening axis can be located by using aFACE BOW
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators

FACE BOW
a U-shape framecaliper-like device thatis used to
record the relationshipof the jaws to theopening axis of the TMJ
to orient the casts in
this same relationshipto the opening axis ofthe articulator
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators

Indications for Face Bow Use
When balanced occlusion is desired
When cusp form teeth are used
When interocclusal check records are used
When occlusal vertical dimension is to be changedduring teeth setting
For diagnostic mounting and treatment planning
For making occlusal corrections after dentureprocessing

Approx determines theterminal hinge axis
used for CD procedures
Kinematic

2. Vertical Relation / VerticalDimension
It is the verticalmeasurement of the facebetween any twoarbitrarily selected pointsconveniently located oneabove and one below themouth usually in themidline
Types of Vertical Relation / Dimension1. Vertical Dimension at Rest (VDR)2. Vertical Dimension at Occlusion (VDO)3. Vertical Dimension at other position
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
9/86
A. Vertical Dimension at Rest (VDR)
vertical dimension when themandible is in the physiologicrest position
established by muscle andgravity
used as a guide to the lostvertical dimension at occlusion(VDO)
measured when the head isupright in position and not
supported by the headrest
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
10/86
Physiologic rest position
position of the mandible when all musclesthat closes and opens the jaws are in astate of minimal tonic contraction sufficient
only to maintain posture
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
11/86
Interocclusal Distance / FreewaySpace / FWS
space or gap between theupper and lower teeth when
the mandible is in physiologicrest position
usually 2-4mm when observedat the position of the first
premolars essential because it maintains
health of periodontal tissue
when teeth are present
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
12/86
B. Vertical Dimension at Occlusion(VDO)
established by the naturalteeth when present and inocclusion
established by the verticalheight of 2 dentures/OCR incontact
computed by the formulaVDO = VDR - FWS
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
13/86
C. Vertical Dimensionat Other Position
no significance in CD construction
vertical dimension when mouth is halfopen or wide open
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
14/86
Consequences of Increase VerticalDimension
trauma on the tissuedue premature striking ofteeth
possibility of pain in the TMJ
more awkward to manipulatedue to longerleverage
clicking of dentures
more easily displaced
face appears long
patient could hardly closes his mouth
rapid destruction of residual ridges
facial muscles appears strained
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
15/86
Consequences of Decrease VerticalDimension
reduces function of the muscles with resultant loss ofmuscle tone
cause creases at the corners of the mouth cause loss of space in the oral cavity with an adverse
effect on the eustachian tubemay affect hearing may produce trauma in the TMJ chin appears to far forward shrunk appearance of the face vermillion borders of the lips reduced approximately to a
line lips lose their fullness face is flabby instead of being firm corners of the mouth turn down or droop

PHYSIOLOGIC
METHODS
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
18/86
1. Physiologic Rest Position
Swallow and relax
presence of interocclusal distance of 2-4 mm at thepremolar area
Niswongers method Two marking are made, one on the upper lip below
the nasal septum, the other on the chin. Patient istold to swallow and relax.
The distance between the two marks are measured adifference of 2-4mm when VDO is subtracted fromVDR
if less than 2mm, VD is probably too great
if greater than 4mm, VD is considered too small
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
19/86
2. Phonetics
consist of listening to speech sounds Using m sound, presence of 2-4mm space observing the relationships of teeth during the
production of ch, s, and j sounds ( bring anterior teethclose together but no contact)
presence of speaking space of not more than 1mm at theanteriors
Using thirty-three, enough space for tip of the tongue toprotrude between the anteriors
Using f or v sounds, maxillary incisal edge, lightly contact
the lower lip Silvermans closest speaking space (1mm), presence of
space during the function of speech if speaking space is too largeVD is considered too small if speaking space is too smallVD is probably too great

3. Esthetics
Facial Esthetics
tone of skin throughout theface should be the same
Willis Method Distance between the outer
canthus of the eye and cornerof the mouth should be equal
to the distance between thelower border of the septum ofthe nose and lower border ofthe chin

8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
57/86
Definition of Terms Occlusion
a static state used when opposing teeth are in contact without movement
Articulationis a dynamic state used when opposing teeth are in contact duringmovements of the mandible
Centric Occlusion Occlusion of opposing teeth when mandible is in centric relation
Eccentric Occlusion Occlusion other than centric occlusion that includes lateral and protrusive
occlusion
Balanced Occlusion(discussed later) Working Side
The side towards which the mandible moves in a lateral excursion
Balancing Side The side opposite the working side
8/13/2019 5 Jaw Relation, Artificial Teeth,Articulators
58/86
Natural Vs Artificial Occlusion
Natural Occlusion1. Supported by roots which are firmly
anchored to the bone2. Moves independently in their socket3. Malocclusion may remain uneventful
for years
4. Occlusal forces affect only theconcerned teeth
5. Nonvertical forces are tolerated muchbetter
6. Mastication is usually done in thesecond molar region
7. Bilateral bvalance is not naturallyfound and is considered detrimental8. The proprioceptive mechanism
enables the patient to avoidprematurities and gives him bettercontrol
Artificial Occlusion1. Supported by denture base placed on
slippery mucosa2. Move as uniton their base3. Malocclusionevokes immediate
instability and pain
4. Forces acting on a complete dentureaffect the whole base
5. Nonvertical forces are usually not welltolerated
6. The second premolar area is preferredfor mastication; mastication in the
second molar region can causeshifting of the base7. Bilateral balanceis usually considred
necessary for denture stability8. Poor feed back mechanism, so
neuromuscular control iscompromised
Functions of Complete Denture

Functions of Complete DentureOcclusion
1. Improve masticatory function
2. Minimized harmful nonvertical or lateralforces
