Role of Occlusion on Perio Disease Progression Flashcards
What is there controversy on the role of occlusion?
1 - Different experimental Designs
2 - Different disciplines involved have different experiences
3 -Occlusal trauma can only be confirmed histologically
4 - Multiple definitions making the topic seem more complex than it is
What were the different models and their researchers?
Sheep model (Box)
Human necropsy (Waerhaug, Glickman)
Squirrel (Polson)
Beagle Dog (Lindhe)
Occlusion
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Any contact of opposing teeth
Centric occlusion
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
The maximum intercuspation of the teeth of opposing arches - AKA Acquired centric AKA habitual occlusion
Eccentric occlusion
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Any relation outside of centric
Centric relation
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
The most retruded position of the mandible from which lateral movements can be made
The most posterior position at the established VDO
Abfraction
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Theoretical tooth surface abrasion in conjunction with occlusal forces
Attrition
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Physiological wearing away of a substance or structure, such as teeth
Bruxism
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Habit of clenching, grinding, or clamping of teeth ; Forces generated may damage tooth and/or tooth supporting structures
Buttressing bone
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Marginal linear aspect of bone - MAY be formed in response to heavy occlusal forces
Facet
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Flattened/worn spot on tooth surface
Fremitus
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Palpable or visible movement of tooth in response to occlusal forces
Occlusal interferiences
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Any contact that inhibits the remaining surfaces from achieving stable/harmonious contact
Occlusal prematurity
According to the glossary of periodontal terms
Contact before desirable intercuspation
Trauma from occlusion/Occlusal Trauma
A DIAGNOSIS
Injury that results in tissue changes within the attachment apparatus (including PDL, bone, cementum) as a result of occlusal forces
(must be confirmed histologically for definitive diagnosis)
