Study Notes
Occlusion in Restorative Treatments
- Two main approaches for managing a patient's dentition for restorative treatments:
- Conformative approach: maintaining existing occlusal relationships in all three planes (anteroposterior, vertical, and horizontal)
- Reorganized approach: changing pre-existing occlusal relationships to correct major discrepancies, typically for complex treatments.
Assessing Occlusion
- Patient's occlusal relationships, both static and dynamic, must be analyzed before any restorative procedure in a conformative approach.
- Occlusion should be verified to ensure no changes after restoration completion.
- Checking direct occlusal contact relationships can be done using:
- Articulating paper
- Shimstock
- Clinical observation.
Articulating Paper and Foil
- Available in various thicknesses (40-200 nanometers) with different colors and shapes for various applications.
- Thinner paper offers higher accuracy but can be difficult to manipulate and fold.
- Articulating foil is the thinnest material ideal for fine occlusal adjustments and accurate analysis.
Ideal Properties of Articulating Paper and Foil
- Precise marking without smudging for accurate adjustments.
- Tear-resistant to withstand gentle pulling.
- Water-resistant to prevent mush after the first use.
- Static-free, especially thinner materials, to prevent sticking.
- Pressure-dependent marking, with heavier contact resulting in darker markings.
- Marks highly polished surfaces like gold, porcelain, and ceramics even when wet.
Visual Assessment of Occlusion
- Visual evaluation of dental contacts around the arch is crucial before removing damaged restorations.
- Occlusion should be re-established after restorations, following the desired functional goals.
Clinical Procedure
- Occlusion should be checked before starting and after finishing restorations.
- Static assessment: patient taps teeth together and holds closed for a uniform mark.
- Dynamic assessment: assesses occlusion during jaw movements like chewing.
Holdes
- Holders are used to facilitate the use of articulating paper for easier application.
Neuromuscular Aspect of Occlusion
- Includes the anatomy of:
- Muscles of mastication/jaw movements
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
- Skeletal relationship
- Teeth
TMJ Anatomy
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex joint connecting the mandible to the temporal bone.
- It allows for a wide range of jaw movements.
Occlusal Terminology
- Centric Relation: the maximum intercuspation of teeth when the condyles are in their most superior and anterior position.
- Centric Occlusion: the occlusion of opposing teeth when the mandible is in centric relation.
- Retruded Position: the most posterior position of the condyle during jaw movement.
- Retruded Contact Position: initial contact of a tooth or teeth during closure around a transverse horizontal axis.
- Intercuspal Position: cusp to fossa relation of maxillary and mandibular teeth.
Development of Occlusion
- Primary dentition: the first set of teeth, usually erupts around 6-8 months and consists of 20 teeth.
- Permanent dentition: the second set of teeth, usually erupts around 6-12 years and consists of 32 teeth.
Overjet and Overbite
- The maxillary arch is generally wider than the mandibular arch.
- Overjet: horizontal overlap of maxillary teeth over mandibular teeth.
- Overbite: vertical overlap of maxillary teeth over mandibular teeth.
Molar Relationships
- Class I (orthognathic): considered normal occlusion, with the maxillary first molar MB cusp positioned over the mid-buccal groove of the mandibular first molar.
-
Class II (retrognathic): Maxillary teeth are positioned relatively forward in relation to mandibular teeth compared to Class I.
- Division 1: protruded anterior teeth.
- Division 2: one or more retruded maxillary anterior teeth.
- Class III (prognathic): Lower molars are positioned forward compared to Class I and don't align with their corresponding upper molars.
- Class II and III are considered malocclusion.
Curves and Planes of Occlusion
- Curve of Spee: anteroposterior curvature of occlusal surfaces following the tips of cuspids, bicuspids, and molars.
- Curve of Wilson: the occlusal curve in the frontal plane, representing concavity on the mandibular side and convexity on the maxillary side.
- Both curves promote smooth lateral excursions without interferences.
Dynamic Occlusion
- Hinge: describes opening and closing movements along a horizontal axis.
- Translation: describes lateral and protrusive movements.
Lateral Occlusion
- Working Side: the side towards which the mandible moves during lateral excursions.
- Non-Working Side: the side away from which the mandible moves during lateral excursions.
- Terminal Hinge Axis Position: when the condyles are in their most posterior and superior position in the glenoid fossa.
Functional and Non-Functional Cusps
- Functional Cusps (Working Cusps): cusps that occlude with opposing teeth in centric occlusion. In normal occlusion, these are the palatal cusps of maxillary posterior teeth and buccal cusps of mandibular posterior teeth.
- Non-Functional Cusps: cusps that do not occlude with opposing teeth in centric occlusion. In normal occlusion, these are the buccal cusps of maxillary posterior teeth and lingual cusps of mandibular posterior teeth.
Occlusion in Restorative Treatments
- Two approaches manage a patient's dentition for restoration:
- Conformative approach: maintaining existing occlusal relationships.
- Reorganized approach: changing pre-existing occlusal relationships to correct discrepancies.
- Proper function and analysis of occlusion are crucial for long-term restorative success.
