Articulations of the Vertebral Column01:28

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

3.4K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

1.3K
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Introduction to Joints

4.8K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints01:17

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

4.4K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...

The Auditory Ossicles01:11

The Auditory Ossicles

3.9K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Bilateral balanced articulation: science or dogma?

    Summary

    Bilateral balanced articulation is not essential for complete denture success, contrary to long-held beliefs. This finding impacts clinical decisions and economic considerations for dentists and dental technicians regarding denture occlusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Historically, canine guidance in complete dentures was avoided due to concerns about denture instability.
    • Bilateral balanced articulation has been widely considered fundamental for successful complete denture treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an evidence-based update on complete denture occlusion concepts.
    • To address the clinical and economic relevance of choosing appropriate occlusal schemes for individual patient needs.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of randomized clinical trials and existing literature on complete denture occlusion.
    • Analysis of the impact of different occlusal concepts on denture stability and patient outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Randomized clinical trials indicate that balanced articulation is less critical for complete denture success than previously assumed.
    • Evidence suggests alternative occlusal concepts may be equally or more appropriate for specific patient needs.

    Conclusions:

    • The traditional emphasis on bilateral balanced articulation for complete dentures requires re-evaluation based on current evidence.
    • Clinical decisions regarding complete denture occlusion should consider individual patient factors and evidence-based outcomes over கோட்பாடுகள் (principles).
