___________ must be understood before dysfunction can have meaning

Understanding of the masticatory system’s functional anatomy and biomechanics is essential to the study of _____________
occlusion
Hypothetical concept or a standardized goal
Ideal
Implies the variations around an average mean value
Normal
Describe ideal occlusion
Coincident midline
No crowding, spacing, rotation
Overjet 1-3mm
Overbite 15-20%
Correct crown angulation, inclination
Class I molar/canine relationship
Flat or slightly upward curve of spee
Describe normal occlusion
Some deviation from ideal, but esthetically acceptable and functionally stable
Upper and lower teeth fit nicely and evenly with the least amount of destructive interferences
Criteria for ideal occlusion
What should the vertical contact during closure be?
Distributed evenly and simultaneously
Primarily on posterior teeth
Criteria for ideal occlusion
What should the lateral movement contact on the working side be?
On teeth most capable of bearing the load, usually canines
Criteria for ideal occlusion
What should the lateral movement contact on the non-working side be?
NONE, it should not exist
Criteria for ideal occlusion
What should the protrusive movement contact be?
On anterior teeth only
