Occlusal Trauma Flashcards
Fan and Caton 2018
Excessive occlusal force: “Occlusal force that exceeds the reparative capacity of the periodontal attachment apparatus, which results in occlusal trauma and/or causes excessive tooth wear.”
Primary occlusal trauma
Tissue damage from excessive occlusal forces applied on a tooth with normal periodontal support.
Secondary occlusal trauma
Tissue damage from normal occlusal forces applied on a tooth with inadequate periodontal support.
, when the crown is subjected to excessive, non-axial (horizontal) forces, pressure and tension zones will develop
(Carranza 2015)
Pressure zone
the periodontal ligament fibers display disorganization and decreased fiber production, cell production will decrease in the pressure side. These changes will eventually lead to increased vascularization and permeability, hyalinzation and necrosis of PDL fibers, hemorrhage and bone resorption should be expected, and in some cases root resorption and cemental tears.
Tension zone
stimulated PDL fibers stretch resulting in increased fiber production, alveolar bone and cementum deposition

TFO requires histologic confrimation for true diagnosis
Glickman 1965
TFO
- Widening of PDL
- Increased mobility
- Root resorption
- Angular bony defects
- Bone condensation
Ramfjord & Ash 1981
TFO
Increased mobility, discomfort
Fan and Caton 2018
Proposed clinical and radiographic signs of TFO
- Fremitus
- Mobility
- Occlusal discrepencies
- Wear facets
- Tooth migration
- Fractured tooth
- Thermal sensitivity
- Discomfort/pain on chewing
- Widned PDL space
- Root resorption
- Cemental tear
Excessive occlusal force:
Occlusal force that exceeds the reparative capacity of the periodontal attachment apparatus, which results in occlusal trauma and/or causes excessive tooth wear.” (Fan and Caton 2018)
Primary occlusal trauma
Tissue damage from excessive occlusal forces applied on a tooth with normal periodontal support.
Secondary occlusal trauma:
Tissue damage from normal occlusal forces applied on a tooth with inadequate periodontal support.
Pressure zone
Carranza 2015
PDL fibers necrose from too much pressure. Bone resorption and root resorption can occur.
T
Tension zone
Carranza 2015
PDL thickening with increased fiber production, bone and cementum deposition
TFO requires what for confirmation/diagnosis
Histology (Fan and Caton 2018)
We use clinical and radiographic signs as a proxy
