MODIOLUS
The insertion of the
group of muscles
about the oral cavity,
both superficial and
deep, partly into the
skin and partly into
the mucous
membrane of the lips
and immediate vicinity
situated slightly
lateral and above
the corner of the
mouth is called
Except in instances of excessive ridge
resorption,the origins of most of these muscles
are removed from the denture bearing area to
the extent that their influence on the denture
except at the modiolus is negligible.
These muscles can be relaxed with the jaws
open while introducing the tray or the imp
material in the mouth.
When the lips are tense, a stretching action
often results in lacerations at corners of mouth
and/or distorted imp material
The labial flanges of the maxillary denture
frequently need to be reduced lateromedially
in the area of modiolus
If the muscles are not properly supported,
none of the facial expressions appear
normal.
Incorrectly positioned teeth or an incorrectly
contoured denture base will destroy the
normal tonicity of the muscles
Lack of support allows sagging; stretching
retards the normal contracture of the muscle
and results in the loss of tonus.
When the muscles are stretched during mouth
opening ,the vestibular space between the
bundle in the cheek and the slopes of the
residual alveolar ridge are restricted. Reducing
the bulk of the flange to accommodate this
muscle action helps to prevent dislodgement of
the denture when the mouth is opened
With loss of teeth the action is impaired.
But when they are correctly supported by
complete dentures, the memory pattern
developed within the neuromuscular system
when the teeth were present, is restored so the
patient’s original appearance is maintained
Three factors affect the face in repositioning
the Orbicularis oris with Complete denture
1. thickness of labial flanges of both dentures
2. anteroposterior position of anteriors
3.amount of separation between the jaws
If the jaws are closed too far and the dental
arch located too posteriorly,the upward and
backward positioning of Orbicularis oris
complex will move the insertions of these
muscles near to its origin and result in sagging
when at rest and to be less effective when
contracting.
Many old patients want the nasolabial sulcus to be
obliterated because it appears as a wrinkle or skin
folds.The sulcus is normal and should not be
eliminated.
Repositioning the anterior teeth by protruding or retro
positioning to improve appearance is a mistake.
The physiologic length of muscles is determined
early.
In fact the muscles of lips,cheeks,tongue,face helped
align the teeth
Bring the entire upper arch forward to its original
position and maintain the normal arch form of the
natural teeth and their supporting structures,
The orbicularis oris and attached muscles
contract and force saliva and small particles of
food from the vestibule into the oral cavity and
seal off the space distal to last molar .The teeth
arrangement should allow for this movement to
occur
The correct width of the maxillary denture
borders play a great part in supporting the
muscles and lengthening the distance they
must extend to reach their insertion.
If the mouth had been edentulous for long with
considerable ridge loss,the borders need to
thick to restore the position of these muscles
Buccal frenum in maxilla needs to be relieved
coz it has attachments of the following muscles
Levator anguli oris---attaches beneath the
frenum
Orbicularis oris—pulls the frenum forward
buccinator—pulls it in backward
The maxillary labial frenum contains
insicivus and Orbicularis oris
Protrusion of the tongue helps in
recording the movements of mylohyoid
muscle.
The action of superior constrictor is
recorded by protruding the tongue.
That of medial pterygoid by asking the
patient to close forcefully against
resistance
Contraction of mentalis renders the vestibule
shallow hence capable of dislodging the
mandibular denture specially when the ridge is
non existent.
The mylohyoid constitutes the floor of the
mouth in the anterior part.
If the denture flange extends below and under
the mylohyoid line, it will impinge the muscle
and affects its action adversely during
swallowing, or the action of the muscle will
unseat the denture.
Because the fibers are directed downwards
the flange can extend below but not under the
mylohyoid line.
It is not always possible to accentuate the
flange over the upper molars because the
attachment of the buccinator to the hamular
process sometimes brings the muscle very
close to tuberosity
Action of buccinator does not dislodge the
denture because the fibers are parallel to
occlusal plane. But again these fibers are
perpendicular to masseter, hence when the
masseter is activated it pushes the buccinator
medial against the border in the area of
retromolar pad area. This is a dislodging force
and the denture needs to be contoured
(massetric notch)
Failure to provide adequate interocclusal
distance produces excessive interarch distance
when the teeth are in occlusion. This position
does not allow the elevators to complete their
action, muscles will continue to exert force to
overcome this obstacle, and as a result
supporting tissues will be resorbed
Excessive interocclusal distance results in a
reduced interarch distance when in occlusion.
Facial distortion appears more noticeable with
over closure than with slightly opened closure,
the commisure turns down, and the lips lose
their fullness.
The proper contouring of occlusal rims for lip and
cheek support allows the muscles of facial
expression to act in a normal manner.
The rims should be designed to be within the neutral
zone
The best anatomic guides to proper contouring of the
anterior section of rims are the nasolabial sulcus,
mentolabial sulcus, philtrum and commisures.When
support is absent the sulci become more
deep,philtrum flattened and commisures droop.
When over supported the sulci become distorted and
shllow, philtrum partially or totally obliterated, and
commisures distorted laterally
NEUTRAL ZONE
While eating the stability of upper denture depends
upon the pressure of the tongue against the palate.
This presses the palate upwards and outwards, but
the cheeks and the lips balance the outward
component and the resulting upwards pressure is the
main stabilizing factor. This can only be achieved if the
teeth are in their correct facio lingual relationship to
tongue, cheeks and lips
There is no occlusal scheme that can stabilize
teeth if they are in an unbalanced relationship
with muscular forces against them
The lower dentures will be unstable,
1. If the premolars were set outside the
ridge so that the denture is lifted by the
corners of the mouth(modiolus),
2. If the buccal and lingual surfaces of
the denture in the molar region were
parallel so that tongue and buccinator
could not grip the plate and hold it down ,
3. If the edges were not muscle trimmed
in the incisor and premolar region and
correctly adapted to the muscles in the
posterior lingual and buccal regions
If the arch is wide at the lower premolar
region ,it will be squeezed in the v shaped
muscle band of zygomaticus and caninus and
will shoot up out of place. Therefore there
should be a sudden narrowing to escape a
collision with the modiolus
A little extra width is required in upper premolar
region as it will enable the modiolus to grasp
the upper denture by the outer cusp of the
premolars and hold it up.
Inner cusp of lower premolar can and indeed
should be cut off otherwise it will interfere with
the movements of the tongue and unstabilise
the denture.
The stabilizing or unstabilising force which depends
on the polished surface for its application to the
denture is the muscular power of the tongue,
buccinators, orbicularis oris and other muscles of
cheek and lips. It is the shape of this complex
surface as a whole, far more than the outline of the
muscle trimmed edge of the denture, which
determines whether muscle movements will dislodge
the piece; while on the other hand if the polished
surface is properly modeled so that the tongue,
cheeks and lips have complete freedom of
movement, the grip which the buccinators and the
tongue can exert on the plates will make them
wearable long after resorption has occurred and they
have ceased to fit the impression surface in the
ordinary sense of the term
PTERYGOMANDIBULAR RAPHE
CO-ORDINATED MUSCLE FUNCTION
Occlusal interferences which require
displacement of the TMJs to achieve
maximum intercuspation of teeth can
cause inco-ordination of all the
masticatory neuromusculature.This is
called occluso-muscle pain
When an occlusal interference is introduced in
mouth,it typically evokes a response of
hyperactivity and incoordinated contraction in all
the muscles that are prevented from functioning
in a coordinated pattern of contraction versus
release of opposing muscles .
IMPORTANCE OF OCCLUSAL
HARMONY
When closing muscle pull mandible
without interference it is stopped by bone
at medial pole
If tooth inclines interfere lateral pterygoid is
forced to position the mandible to accommodate
to the teeth
There are many variations of timing and degree
of muscle contraction to position the mandible
for maximum intercuspation of the teeth.
Pattern of deviation is reinforced every time
contact is made
Important facet of propioceptive memory is that
it fades if reinforcement of pattern ceases.
Elimination of interfering
contacts permit an almost
immediate return to normal
muscle function
posterior tooth interference
caused hyperactivity of
elevator muscle
But if the anterior guidance
was allowed to disclude all
posterior teeth from any
contact other than CR,
elevator muscle stopped
active contraction or reduced
it.
The reason muscle changes jaw position in the
presence of interferences is to protect the
interfereing tooth or teeth from absorbing entire
occlusal force
Muscles become patterned to the devious
closure ,such memorized patterns of muscle
activity are called ENGRAMS
Because of engrams it is easy to be fooled by
freely hinging jaw that appears to be in correct
CR.
When we create an occlusion in centric
relation,and disclusion when there is deviation
from centric,the anterior teeth (anterior
guidance) along with the condylar path take the
responsibility of separating the posteriors during
all excursions
3 beneficial effects of this are
-greatly reduces the horizontal forces against
the anterior teeth,which are the only teeth in
contact during excursion
-reduces compressive loading forces on TMJs
-makes it impossible to overload or wear the
posterior teeth, even if the patient bruxes
