Thanks a lot for trying to make me understand bombshell,but its not very clear to me yet.
If i see a question with a diagram of 2molars and 2 premolars , and in the diagram it appears to be that the 2 arrows are directing buccally.they have mentioned that it indcate the direction of movement of mandibular teeth over maxillary teeth.So i understand that this mandibular movement is a lateral,working side.But about the side ,as the premolars are shown on the right of molars in the diagram,this will be of left lateral working side,right?
the answer given is right lateral working side.
It;s always easier to explain with example. So I will use yours.
So you said "diagram of 2molars and 2premolars"
First thing you should do is to determine which are those teeth - max/man left/right. For the sake of the example, say they are maxilary right Premolars and molars.
Then you look at the arrow: pointing bucal (that means that the mand teeth are moving bucal in regard to the maxilary teeth). Meaning that the mandible is moving to the bucal on the same side, meaning it is moving to the RIGHT (the teeth in the example are right)
It doesn't matter how the diagram (photo) of the teeth is presented, just as long as you can determine whether the teeth are in which dental arch and in which side.
If this still doesn't help - post again the whole example.
Another question,mandibular teeth with 2 molars and 2 premolars on right side of molars is shown.and 2 arrows directing towards diastobuccal side .It indicate movement of maxillary teeth over mandibular teeth.I understand that its a non working ,lateral movement.but again i dont understand how it is right and not left.
It again depends on Right or LEft teeth are presented. (see the above example)
Sorry if i have confused you....will be a great help if you could explain.
thanks
