HORIZONTAL JAW
RELATION
INTRODUCTION
JAW RELATION is defined as any relation of
CENTRIC RELATION
Def :The maxillomandibular relationship in
which condyles articulate with the thinnest
avascular portion of their respective disc
with the complex in the anterior superior
position against the slopes of articular
eminences.
This position is independent of tooth contact.
This position is discernible when the mandible is
directed superiorly and anteriorly.
It is restricted to a purely rotary movement about
the transverse horizontal axis.
3 primary requirements:
1. To record the correct horizontal relationship
of mandible to maxilla
2. To expert equalized vertical pressure
3. To retain record in undistorted condition until
the cast have been accurately mounted on
articulator
SIGNIFICANCE:
In case of dentulous patients proprioceptive
impulses are obtained from PDL.
In case of edentulous patients centric relation
act as proprioceptive centre to guide occlusal
movements.
SALIENT FEATURES:
o Is a definite learned position
o Patient can voluntarily and reflexily return to this
position.
o Can be recorded and repeated.
o On mounting the cast on articulator he
anteroposterior relation of maxillary and mandibular
casts becomes a definite entity.
o This position can be verified.
o Is a reference point in recording maxillomandibular
relations and a starting point for developing occlusion.
Physiologic method
Based on:
o Proprioceptive impulse of patient
o Kinethetic sense of mandibular movement
o Visual acuity and sense of touch of patient
1) Tactile sense or inter occlusal check record
method.
Tentative jaw relation is recorded.
Ask the patient to retrude the mandible.
Casts are articulated based on this tentative record
INDICATIONS
Abnormally related jaws.
Displaceable flabby tissue.
Large tongue
Uncontrolled mandibular movements.
In patients already using a complete denture
Material used
1. Waxes: low fusing
2. Impression compound
3. Dental plaster
4. Znoe paste
PROCEDURE:
a) Recording tentative jaw relation:
) Maxillary occlusal rim inserted to patients
mouth.
) Vertical dimension at rest is
established.mandibular occlusal rim inserted
and reduced accordingly,
) Tentative centric relation recorded using
tentative jaw relations.artificial teeth are
arranged.
3)Pressure method
Establish vertical dimension.
Upper occlusal rim inserted.lower occlusal rim
is fabricated by softening in water bath.
Insert it into patients mouth.
Patient asked to close mouth in centric
relation on soft wax in predetermined vertical
dimension and then articulated.
Functional method
Method utilise the the functional movements of jaws to record the
centric relation.
Patient asked to perfprm border border movements such as
protrusive and lateral excersion movement.
a) Needle house method
) Fabrication of occlusal rim made from impression compound
) Four metal beads or styli are embedded into premolar and molar
b)Patterson method
Occlusal rim made of modelling wax.
In trench or trough is made along the length
of mandibular occlusal rim.
A mixture of carborundum and dental plaster
is loaded into the trench.
Perform mandibular movement till
predetermined vertical dimension.
Movement generates compensative curves in
plaster
Graphic method
The graphic method record a tracing of
movement
9. It is made at predetermined vertical
dimension of occlusion.this harmonius
centric relation with centric occlusion and
anteroposterior bone bone relation with
tooth-tooth contact
10. Graphic method can reecord eccentric
relation of mandible to maxilla
11. Most accurate means
Pantographic tracing
A graphic record of mandibular movements in three
ECCENTRIC JAW
