3) Duration of force
4) Frequency of occurrence
What are the parts of the periodontium affected by occlusal forces?
1) Cementum
2) PDL
3) Alveolar bone proper
Which parts of the periodontium are NOT affected by occlusal forces?
1) Gingiva
2) Junctional epithelium
What are the clinical symptoms of occlusal trauma ?
1) Mobility of affected teeth
2) Radiographic evidence of thickened PDL
3) Positive Hx of clenching or bruxism
4) Missing or tilted teeth
5) Evidence of working or balancing side occlusal interferences
6) Evidence of occlusal slide in centric relation or centric occlusion ( CR/CO)
7) Evidence of occlusal interference in protrusive mandibular movement
What is Fremitus?
- A tremulous vibratory movement of a tooth when teeth come into functional contact
- Generally detected by finger palpation
