Mandibular Movements Explained | TMJ, Occlusion, Articulators, & Prosthetic Dentistry Guide

Learn everything about mandibular movements and their role in prosthetic dentistry in this detailed lecture! 🦷 Understand how the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and condylar guidance influence jaw movements and how dental professionals use articulators to simulate these motions for creating accurate prostheses.

We’ll discuss critical aspects of occlusion, such as cuspal height, incisal guidance, and compensating curves, and their application in designing complete dentures. This video is an essential guide for dental students and practitioners looking to deepen their knowledge of dental anatomy and improve their expertise in prosthetic dentistry.

✨ What You'll Learn:

How the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) directs mandibular movements
The significance of condylar guidance in occlusion
Step-by-step understanding of articulator use for simulating jaw motion
The role of cuspal height, incisal guidance, and compensating curves in dental prosthesis design
Choosing the right teeth: anatomic, semi-anatomic, and non-anatomic options

This video is perfect for mastering the key principles of mandibular movements and occlusion in prosthetic dentistry. Don’t miss the next lecture, where we’ll dive deeper into the compensating curves for denture setup!
