Occlusion in Restorative Dentistry Flashcards
Why important to study occlusion in relation to restorative work?
Failure restoration Fractured teeth and restoration Overeruption/tilting Fractured crowns Wear of teeth Localised periodontitis Facial pain
What teeth common see over eruption?
Upper molars
Often due large under contoured amalgam on lower teeth/ lack opposing teeth
Issue w/ overuption?
Create unfavourable contact in excursion = fracture
How avoid fracture of crowns when providing?
If heavy occlusion use metal backings
What issue of tx when have tooth wear?
Need increase VD - complications
If have large occlusal load on one tooth what are periodontal effects?
See funnel shaped bone loss
What is ICP?
Intercuspal position
Position of mandible when maximum intercuspation of the teeth
When may be hard to see ICP?
Loss of cusps - lost teeth/ tooth wear
What is RCP?
Related centric relation - first tooth contact when condyle fully seated in glenoid fossa
Relationship of ICP and RCP?
Don’t usually coincide - close to RCP and slide ICP
What want to assess in slide ICP to RPC?
If vertical or horizontal competent
What expect to see if slide RCP to ICP if no tooth wear?
More significant vertical component
What is centric relation?
Relation of mandible to maxilla when condyles seated midmost uppermost position in glenoid fossa
Jaw relationship nothing to do with teeth
Adv of CR?
Most optimum position neurousculature system
MoM able fully relax
What is range of movement within CR called?
Hinge movement
