table with fingers externally about the
body and ramus.

Forward
Sideways
Upward
• His head is steadied by the other handwww.indiandentalacademy.comn

•Maxillary:
•These tests are conducted with the
patients eye closed.

are pressed alternatively against the
cheek.

sides of the face indicate increased or
decreased sensitivity to temperature.

51. MasseterMasseter
•At the time of preliminary impression is
made, while the compound on the borders
of the impression tray in this region is still
soft, considerable downward force should
be exerted on the lower jaw by dentist.
•Now the patient is attempting to counteract
this downward pressure which will cause
the masseter muscle to contract.
•This forces the softened compound away
from impingement in this region.
www.indiandentalacademy.comn
52. •Thus the denture border can also be
contoured to accommodate this action. If
this is not done the muscle interaction
will displace the mandibular denture and
force it in an anterior direction
www.indiandentalacademy.comn
53. Temporalis muscleTemporalis muscle
The action of this muscle is
sometimes used as a test to determine
whether the patient is closing in centric
relation.
