traumatic occ forces Flashcards
Occlusal Trauma (OT) Diagnosis
Injury resulting in tissue changes within the attachment
apparatus (periodontal ligament, cementum and supporting bone) as a result of occlusal forces (etiology)
OT may occur in what periodontiums?
normal or reduced
What is a ‘reduced’ periodontium?
Based on an in vitro study, reduced is loss of >60% of bone support.
Occlusal Trauma (OT) does not cause:
pocket formation or lead to loss of connective tissue
Parts of the Periodontium Affected by Occlusal Forces
- Cementum
- PDL
- Alveolar Bone Proper
The gingiva and junctional epithelium are not
affected by occlusal forces.
classes of traumatic occ
primary, secondary and ortho related
Occlusal Trauma Variables:
- Direction of force.
- Magnitude of force.
- Duration of force.
- Frequency of occurrence.
Trauma From Occlusion
1. Considered to be?
2. Forces of occlusion exceed the?
- Considered to be pathologic.
- Forces of occlusion exceed the adaptive capacity

Primary Occlusal Trauma 2017
Traumatic occlusal forces applied to a tooth or teeth with normal periodontal support
* With Primary occlusal trauma, clinically may see adaptive mobility (does not progress)
* Example is ‘high’ restoration with mobility resolving following reduction.
Secondary Occlusal Trauma 2017
Injury resulting in tissue changes from normal or
traumatic occlusal forces applied to a tooth or teeth
with reduced periodontal support
* May be seen as progressive mobility &/or pain

Trauma from Occlusion
A. Compression side
* PDL space?
* fiber orientation?
* capillary permeability? result?
* alveolar bone proper? (if severe?) PDL space?
- PDL space is reduced as fibers are compressed
- Loss of fiber orientation
- Increased capillary permeability, rupture of blood
vessels and hemorrhage into PDL perivascular
spaces (edema) - Resorption of alveolar bone proper (root resorption
if severe) then widening of PDL space
Minor Trauma (from occlusion)
* capillary permeability?
* edema?
* Vascular damage?
* Lowered periodontal resistance?
* Accompanying tissue effects?
- Increased capillary permeability, dilation
- Edema, disturbed fluid exchange
- Vascular damage with stasis, clotting, thrombosis
- Lowered periodontal resistance?
- Accompanying tissue effects, usually mino
Trauma from Occlusion
B. Tension side
* PDL space?
* PDL fiber bundles?
* PDL blood vessels and hemorrhage into perivascular spaces?
* alveolar bone? PDL space? (If severe?)
Trauma from Occlusion
B. Tension side
* Increase in PDL space
* Rupture of PDL fiber bundles
* Compression of PDL blood vessels and
hemorrhage into perivascular spaces
* Deposition of new alveolar bone and decrease in
PDL space (If severe, cemental tears)
Severe Trauma (from occlusion)
* type of injury? - necrosis?
* results?
- Crushing (pressure) injury - necrosis at furca, alveolar crest
- Extravasated RBCs, hematoma, necrosis, vascular damag
Severe Trauma (from occlusion)
* necrosis? where?
* Degenerative changes?
* Repair from?
- Well-defined necrosis: PDL, cementum, bone
- Degenerative changes (hyaline, mucoid, liquefaction)
- Repair from PDL, endosteal cells, bone marrow, Haversian systems (rear resorption)
The lesion of Occlusal Trauma can only be confirmed how? so we must use?
The lesion of Occlusal Trauma can only be confirmed
histologically by block section biopsy, so must use
other surrogate indicators:
* Clinical
* Radiographic
