Transfer copings
Over-contoured crowns contribute to:
periodontal disease
A posterior pontic may be up to __% narrower than the tooth it is replacing to reduce the occlusal load.
20%
__% of all pontic sites show clinical inflammation.
33%
__% of all pontic sites show some inflammatory response under the bridge.

Why do we need to use more water in plaster compared to Type IV gypsum?
The shape of the particles is more irregular in type II so more water sorption

What can result from excessive orthodontic forces?
Root resorption
Is trauma from occlusion reversible?
Yes
Can occlusal trauma cause periodontitis?
Yes
Too much occlusal pressure results in:
- hyalinization
- vascular changes
- bone resorption
Too much tension results in:
- Widening of PDL
- Hemorrhage
- Tearing of PDL
- Resorption
What area of the periodontist is most susceptible to injury from excessive occlusal forces?
Furcation
