A series of animated
diagrams to
clarify various concepts of TM Disorders
(best
when reviewed sequencially)
|
| 1. Introduction of normal
function
versus parafunction |
| 2. The
simultaneous combination
of condylar rotation and translation |
| 3. Normal
unilateral activity
and effect of a Lateral Pterygoid muscle |
| 4. Parafunctional
clenching
activity of the Temporalis |
| 5. The
maximum
clenching intensity occurs in the musculoskeletally stable position |
| 6.
How various occlusal schemes alter Temporalis clenching intensity |
| 7. How
"canine rise"
serves to diffuse parafunction |
| 8. Working
posterior interference causes non-working side joint strain during
occluding |
| 9. Non-working
posterior inference causes non-working side joint and disc strain ---
CLASS
III complications |
| 10. Comparing
the NTI's
occluding scheme with other occluding schemes. |
| 11. How excess vertical
dimension
provided by the NTI can be straining to a joint |
| 12. Clenching in a
protrusive position
can cause/perpetuate facial/sinus symptoms and cervical tension. |
| 13. The
Parafunctional Nature of Articulators |
