Functions of the
interproximal contact point:
Stabilizes the tooth in its socket, and therefore, the dental arches.
Prevents packaging of food and therefore protect from gingivitis,
periodontitis, caries, etc..
Protects the dental papilla to divert to that chewing alimetos go to the dental
papilla.
The malpositions tooth contact points have altered that is a risk factor for
several oral diseases.
Incisors have what is
called incisal guide, is that the movements of mandibular protrusion, jaw moves
forward, the lower incisors sliding contact with the upper incisal edge of
lower incisors by the palatal side of upper incisors and thus the subsequent
sections, premolars and molars, are separated so as to avoid undesirable and
harmful contacts. This is to prevent injury based on posterior teeth.
Guide dogs are canine, the movements of laterality, the jaw moves sideways, the
canines on the side towards which moves the jaw contact and sliding the top of
the canine on the side of the palate in a canine superior the subsequent
sections, premolars and molars, are
The functions of the
teeth are:
Masticatory
Phonetics
Aesthetics
Facial expression
The function determines the tooth shape of each tooth within the jaw movements.
A good basis for the teeth should be well positioned, so important contact
between teeth in different arches, upper and lower as the contact between
adjacent teeth, the latter are called contacts and protect the interproximal
dental papilla and to prevent to chew the food is stored in avoiding packaging,
gingival trauma hard for food and, therefore, the increase in plaque.
There are two major
dental groups: the former group, consisting of incisors, central and lateral,
and canine and the posterior group, consisting of premolars and molars.
Group earlier: They have four surfaces and incisal edge. The upper incisors
have a strong influence on facial aesthetics of the individual. Canines
determine facial expression and appearance.
Masticatory function is cut, the incisors and tearing, the canines by a strong
anchor in the bone and its position in the arcades, in addition, the dogs,
helping to bring stability to the entire arch.
separated to prevent clashes between their
harmful cusps in these movements.
The group helps to produce the above sounds and labio-dental.
Group post: Four and one-sided occlusal surface. This group does not have much
importance in the aesthetic function as the previous group has even tooth loss
and subsequent bone loss associated thus causing the colpaso of the skin and
facial muscles.
Premolars have a masticatory function of grinding and tearing, the molars, due
to its more posterior position in the chewing muscles, which are 4: jaw muscle,
temporal, and external pterygoid Internal pterygoid can apply large forces to
produce an effective grinding . The molars are the teeth with more cusps and
increased masticatory surface although their peaks are less sharp than those of
the premolars and canines.
Premolars are working, sometimes with dogs in the guide dog when this happens
is called a function group and to avoid further contact in the movements of
either side with a good guide dog, or, failing that, with the help of premolars
with good group.
