Benett movement is
1) Direct lateral side shift of the mandible that occurs simultaneously with lateral mandibular excursion
2) Direct medial side shift with medial mandibular excursion
3) Direct lateral side shift with medial mandibular excursion
4) None of the above
Prosthodontics
Answer: 1
The Bennet movement is a type of movement that occurs in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during the lateral excursion of the mandible, particularly when the mouth is open. It involves the sliding of the articular disk in a lateral direction within the joint space, which allows for the condyle to move smoothly along the articular eminence of the temporal bone. This movement is essential for the normal functioning of the TMJ during activities like chewing and speaking. It is the first type of movement to occur during lateral excursion and is crucial for maintaining the proper alignment of the TMJ components during side-to-side jaw motion.

Which of the following is not desirable in complete denture occlusion
1 Minimum occlusal contact areas for reduced pressure in comminuting food
2 Functional lever balance by favorable tooth to ridge crest position
3 Balanced occlusal contacts bilaterally for all eccentric movements
4 Anterior incisal contacts during all posterior masticatory functions and para
function
Prosthodontics
Answer: 4
Explanation: Anterior incisal contacts during posterior
masticatory functions are not desirable because they can lead to instability and
improper function of the complete denture. Ideally, posterior teeth should
provide the primary occlusal contacts during chewing, while anterior teeth
should not interfere with these functions. This helps maintain a balanced
occlusion and prevents excessive wear or damage to the denture.
