Mandibular flexure in opening and closing movements.
I n considering the many complicated motions that the human mandible is capable of performing, one is inclined to overlook the almost imperceptible decrease in arch width that accompanies its movements. The mandible may be likened to an archer’s bow, and the muscles may be compared to its string. During opening and closing jaw movements, it is thought that the muscles of the floor of the mouth ...

متن کاملMaximum occlusal force and medial mandibular flexure in relation to vertical facial pattern: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Vertical facial pattern may be related to the direction of pull of the masticatory muscles, yet its effect on occlusal force and elastic deformation of the mandible still is unclear. This study tested whether the variation in vertical facial pattern is related to the variation in maximum occlusal force (MOF) and medial mandibular flexure (MMF) in 51 fully-dentate adults. METHODS Da...
متن کاملClinical importance of median mandibular flexure in oral rehabilitation: a review.
The mandible has a property to flex inwards around the mandibular symphysis with change in shape and decrease in mandibular arch width during opening and protrusion of the mandible. The mandibular deformation may range from a few micrometres to more than 1 mm. The movement occurs because of the contraction of lateral pterygoid muscles that pulls mandibular condyles medially and causes a sagitta...
متن کاملMandibular Flexure in Anterior-Posterior and Transverse Plane on Edentulous Patients in Mashhad Faculty of Dentistry
Introduction: Angle and internal position of lateral pterygoid muscle leads to contraction over two half of the mandible in maximum opening and protrusion position so it can affects impression prosthetic procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mandibular flexure in two transverse and antro-posterior dimensions. Methods: Seventy edentulous patients at Mashhad Faculty of Dentistry a...
