I will attempt to answer this. Hope it helps:
example 1 " Lateral Contacting Movements"
Max. Diagram( you have to get a picture of this in frontof you to understand)
Teeth = MAX. Quardrent
Arrows= Mandibular movement
and when:
Teeth = Mand. Quardrent
Arrows= Max Movement
note : when you see
- arrow pointing straight up or down = working side lateral movement
- arrow pointing diaganal up or down = non working lateral movement
- arrow pointing staight forward with Max quard shown = Mand
Protrusion
- arrow pointing straight forward with Mandible quard shown = Max
protrusion.
- arrow pointing staright back with Max quard shown = Mand retrusion
- arrow pointing staright back with Mand quard shown = Max retrusion
Now
rules that aply to :
I ) WORKING SIDE MAX AND OR MAND.
1) CONDYLE ROTATES
2) CUSPS MOVE IN A PURE LATERAL DIRECTION
3) ARROWS THAT REPRESENT MAND. CUSP MOVE TOWARDS THE BUCCAL SURF.OF MAX. TEETH WHICH IS AWAY FROM THE MIDLINE
4) ARROWS THAT REPRESENT MAX CUSP MOVE TOWARD THE LINGUAL/PALATAL SURF OF MAND. TEETH WHICH IS TOWARDS THE MID LINE
A) On the working side the Guiding Cusps move through or into Embrasuresand Grooves they opposein the opposite dentition
B) working side the Holding cusps/ supporting cusps also move through the embrasures and or Grooves of these cusps BUT NOT TIP TO TIP
II) NONWORKING SIDE
1) NON WORKING SIDE MOVEMENTS IS THE SIDE FROM WHICH THE MAND. IS MOVING.
2) THE CONDYLES MOVE FOWARD AND DOWNWARD AND MEDIALLY ON THE ARTICULATING EMINECE
3) NON WORKING SIDE DOES NOT CONTACT DURING THE LATERAL CONTACTING MOVEMENTS BECAUSE MAND. CONDYLES MOVE DOWN ON THE ARTICULAING EMINECE.
NOW
A) When you have a MAND. Diag. with Maxillary arrows
Teeth = mand. teeth
Arrows= Max. cusps moving toward the buccal
note :the max. cusp move DoB in nonworking Excursions
So,
1) Max. cusp move towards Buccal Surface of Mand
2) Post. movement so Max. Supporting cusps travel up the mesial occl.
incline of Mand. Holding/Supporting Cuspsimmediatly Buccally or Distally
= tip - tip
B) When you have Max. diagram with Mand. arrows
teeth = Max. teeth
arrows= Mand. Cusps moving Lingually
note: the Mand. cusps move MoL in Non working Excursion
so,
1) Mand. Supporting cusp move towards lingual surf. of the Max. teeth toward the midline
2) also, it moves forward, so , Mand Supporting cusp go up the Distal Occl. Slope of the Max. Supporting cusp which is measial to it.
my sugestion is get the cd-rom of Wheeler's it has the best 3-D showing of this.
there is also woring and non woring Later protrusive and retrusive movements to consider let me know if you want me to explain.
also some check me to see if I am right and let me know thanks-Bill
