1. Clinic Maximum Blood Pressure =
What is the digital technique in tissue manipulation?
Using index finger to move or press against tissue.
What is the bidigital technique in tissue manipulation?
Using fingers and thumb to move or compress tissue of one structure with a rolling motion.
What is the manual technique in tissue manipulation?
Using the fingers of one hand to simultaneously move or compress tissues in one area.
What is the bimanual technique in tissue manipulation?
Using index finger of one hand and fingers and thumb of other hand simultaneously to move or
compress tissue.
What is the bilateral technique in tissue manipulation?
Using a finger or fingers of both hands simultaneously to move or press tissue on contralateral
(opposite) sides of the head and body.
What are occipital nodes?
Circular compressions at the base of the skull.
What are post-auricular lymph nodes?
Circular compressions behind the ear.
,What are pre-auricular nodes?
Circular compressions in front of the ear.
How do you palpate the parotid gland?
Circular compressions and pressing tissue up over the cheek bone on both sides.
How do you assess the TMJ?
Place fingertips over the joint and ask the patient to open and close, noting deviations or
sounds.
How do you check the submandibular gland?
Check each side separately by pushing tissue towards the side being checked with the left hand
and pushing tissue up and over the border of the mandible with the right hand.
How do you palpate the submental gland?
Use bidigital palpations by pinching the chin at midline with index and thumb.
Where are cervical nodes located?
Anterior and posterior nodes run down each side of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
How do you palpate cervical nodes?
Have the patient look over their shoulder and palpate down the muscle to feel the sternal
notch.
How do you assess clavicular nodes?
Perform circular compressions above the clavicle, one clavicle at a time (supraclavicular nodes).
How do you check the thyroid gland and larynx?
Normal should not be visible; if visible, it is enlarged. Displace the trachea slightly to the right
and feel the gland move up and down when the patient swallows.
Occlusion: angles classification
, -
-Maximum intercuspal position
Horizontal and vertical overlap of anterior teeth
-Maxillary posterior teeth slightly buccal to the mandibular
-Relative alignment - each maxillary tooth is slightly distal to the corresponding mandibular
tooth
-class 1/neutrocclusion
normal, lower molar 1/2 tooth ahead of upper
class 2/distocclusion
The most common type of malocclusion. The mandibular molar is in a distal relationship to the
maxillary molar
class 2: distocclusion division 2
mandible is retruded and one or more maxillary incisors are protruded
-class 3/mesiocclusion
Mandible is in mesial relationship to the maxilla
Underbite
What is an overbite?
The vertical distance that the maxillary teeth overlap the mandibular teeth.
What are the classifications of overbite?
Normal = incisal third of the mandibular teeth; Moderate = within middle third of mandibular
teeth; Severe = within the cervical third of mandibular teeth.
What is an overjet?
The horizontal distance that the maxillary teeth extend over the mandibular teeth, measured in
mm.
