Treatment of Trauma from Occlusion Flashcards
True of False
occlusal trauma may, under certain circumstances accelerate attachment loss
True
True or False
immobilization is essentail for periodontal regeneration
True
What are four reversible methods of occlusal therapy
night goals
extracoronal splints
muscle relaxants
muscle exercises
What are four irreversible methods of occlusal therapy
intracoronoal splints
occlusal adjustment; selective grinding
ortho
orthognathic surgery
What are five indications of occlusal adjustments
periodontal occlusal trauma post ortho prior to extensive restorations certain types of TMD certain wear patterns
What are five contraindications of occlusal adjustments
severe malocclusion non-ideal but well tolerated severe wear or if occlusal adjustment would expose dentin patient in pain if no suitable endpoint can be reached
What are the goals in occlusal adjustment
occlusal stability over time
axial loading of forces
anterior guidance in excursions
smooth gliding unrestrained
What are the two types of comprehensive occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
centric relation
excursions
What is limited occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
mainly excursive movements; directed toward eliminating lateral “jiggling-type” forces
What is a long centric occlusal adjustment
so that CR-CO is not an inclined deflective contact
What is axial loading of forces occlusal adjustment
to prevent “jiggling” bucco-lingual forces
In which three ways can you reduce wear facets
grooving
spheroiding
pointing
It is important to not have these kinds of contacts
non-working contacts
What are the six steps in comprehensive occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
CR-CO hit and slide non-working side (balancing) interferences working contacts protrusive contacts sharp or irregular incisal edges polish all teeth that were adjusted
What are the most ideal and the worst contact relationsips
ideal - cusp to fossa
worst - cusp to cusp
Where are two centric relation interferences
mesial inclines maxillary
distal inclines mandibular
