Q

why do you mark contacts before you change anything

A

If the occlusal scheme is good….

  • stick to it (conform)
  • These are called tripodised contacts and show where the opposing cusps contact (ICP stops)*
  • hard to achieve
  • more commonly – cusp tip to fossa*

Ackerly classification for overbite

A

I

  • lower incisors impinge on palatal mucosa
  • inflammation of palatal mucosa with the imprine of lower incisal edges

II

  • lower incisors incisal edge occlude into palatal gingival crevices of maxillary teeth
  • labial splaying of maxillary incisors
  • palatal pocket

III

  • class II div2 type of incisor relationship
  • stripping of the gingiva in relation to palatal surfaces of upper anterior teeth and labial surfaces lower anterior teeth

IV

  • lower incisor causing progressive abrasion of palatal surfaces of maxillary teeth
  • abrasion of palatal surfaces of upper anterior teeth
  • dentine hypersensitivity

Q

crossbite

A
  • condition where one or more teeth may be abnormally malpositioned buccal or lingually or labially with reference to opposing teeth
    • posterior
    • anterior
19
Q

anterior open bite

A
  • Lack of vertical overlap of anterior teeth when posterior teeth in full occlusion
    • Often due to digit sucking
    • Here 3-3
20
Q

posterior/lateral open bite

A
  • Failure of contact between the posterior teeth when the teeth are in full occlusion
    • here From 16-12
21
Q

why 2 colours articulating paper

A

Better to use a different colour articulating paper to show canine guidance/dynamic from static

22
Q

canine guidance

A

Dynamic

  • Mandible moves to the left (working side)
  • Contact only between the canines
  • No posterior tooth contacts (a space – freeway space)
    • This is what’s known as a mutually protected occlusion

Canine roots are strong – adapted to withstand lateral forces

Unlike molar teeth – up and down and grinding cusp action

23
Q

tooth wear case design for wax up

  • ideal
A

canine guidance

GOLD standard

24
Q

mutually protected occlusion

A

gold standard

  • Canine guidance
  • Posterior disclusion in lateral excursions
  • No non-working/working side contacts
  • No protrusive interferences
    • Teeth slide edge-edge, no posterior contacts too
25
Q

group function

A
  • Mandible moves to the left (working side), multiple teeth in contact on the left
    • many lines marked from paper - not just canine
  • Bilateral group function frequently seen in toothwear, aging pts
26
Q

protrusion

A

Condyle moves forwards and downwards on articular eminence

  • Only incisors +/- canines touch
  • No posterior tooth contacts – undesirable deflective contacts
27
Q

problems in dynamic

A

Occlusal Interferences

  • Undesirable tooth contacts that may produce mandibular deviation during closure to ICP or may hinder smooth passage to and from ICP (Schillingberg 1997)
28
Q

3 types of occlusal interference

A
  • working side
  • non-working side
  • protrusive
29
Q

working side contact

occlusal interference

A

Should just see line of canine guidance and nothing else posteriorly

  • Line of upper left 7 indicates a posterior contact that is not wanted
    • similar cusps contacting
30
Q

non-working side contact

occlusal interference

A

Mandible moving to right so see blue line on right canine – only marking on that side

  • Ideally want no lines at all on opposing side
    • But upper left 6 has a line
      • not desirable
31
Q

protrusive interference

A

“any posterior contact during protrusion”

  • As condyle moves downwards and forwards over articular eminence get teeth sliding into edge-edge*
  • Should be space posteriorly – no contacts
32
Q

why avoid posterior contacts

A
  • Teeth are designed to absorb heavy forces in the direction of the long axis of the tooth
    • Lateral forces to molar teeth – not designed to withstand
  • Most teeth are not designed to absorb significant lateral forces generated by occlusal interferences
  • Musculature gets a rest as less activity if not undesirable posterior contacts
    • Tired, pain, uncomfortable, enlarged, TMJ problems
  • Occlusal trauma and undesirable tooth movements
    • E.g. fremitus
33
Q

pathologies due to occlusion (3)

A
  • bruxism
  • toothwear
  • occlusal trauma
34
Q

2 types of bruxism

A
  • Eccentric side to side
  • Centric
35
Q

centric bruxism

A

Clenching: The pressing and clamping of the jaws and teeth together. Frequently associated with acute nervous tension or physical effort

36
Q

eccentric bruxism

A

side to side

  • The parafunctional grinding of teeth
  • An oral habit consisting of involuntary rhythmic or spasmodic or functional gnashing, grinding or clenching of teeth in other than chewing movements of the mandible which may lead to occlusal trauma
37
Q

issue of bruxism

A

added strain on joint, muscles and teeth

38
Q

clinical signs and symptoms of bruxism

A
  • Toothwear
    • shortened crowns, lose anatomy
  • Fractured restorations
  • Tooth migration
  • Tooth mobility (Often in absence of periodontal disease)
  • Muscle pain and fatigue
  • Headache
  • Earache
  • Pain and stiffness in the TMJ and surrounding muscles
39
Q

tooth wear types (4)

A
  • abrasion
  • attrition
  • erosion
  • abfraction

multifactorial

often just classified as mild/moderate/severe (but keys exist - Smith and Knight)

40
Q

tooth wear index - smith and knight

A

0

  • no loss of enamel surface characteristics

1

  • loss of enamel surface characteristics

2

  • buccal, lkngual and occlusal loss of enamel, exposing dentine for less than 1/3 surface
  • incisal loss of enamel
  • minimal dentine exposure

3

  • buccal, lingual and occlusal loss of enamel, exposing dentine for more than 1/3 of surface
  • incisal loss of enamel
  • substantial loss of dentine

4

  • buccal, lingual and occlusal complete loss of enamel, pulp exposure or exposure of sencondary dentine
  • incisal pulp exposure or exposure of secondary dentine
41
Q

occlusal trauma

A

Could be due to undesirable posterior contacts

  • lateral forces on teeth
    • Cause system to be disjointed/annoyed -> tooth movement

Injury resulting in tissue changes within the attachment apparatus, including periodontal ligament, supporting alveolar bone and cementum, as a result of occlusal force(s)

  • Primary
    • intact periodontium
  • Secondary
    • reduced periodontium

Fremitus

  • palpable or visible movement of a tooth when subjected to occlusal forces
42
Q

fremitus

A

palpable or visible movement of a tooth when subjected to occlusal forces

43
Q

examination checklist for occlusion

A
  • Incisor relationship
  • Guidance
  • Overjet/overbite
  • ICP contacts
  • Working/non-working/Protrusive contacts
  • Pathology – tooth wear
