Tx of trauma from occlusion Flashcards
when is the best time to treat traumatic occlusal forces
Best time to do it is after SRP
We want to wait until all the inflammation is gone because inflammation leads to mobility
primary TFO results in _ PDL
primary TFO - excessive forces (e.g. high amalgam restoration, bruxism)
on normal periodontium (no bone loss)
widened PDL space
we want to put the forces in the axial direction
reducing PDL space and injury
what is secondary occusal trauma
occlusal trauma on a reduced periodontium
normal or excessive forces applied to a weakened periodontium (weakened tooth)
we want to corerct it with splints for stabilization
methods of occlusal therapy that are reversible
night guard - bite plane
extracoronal splints
muscle relaxants - meds
muscle exercises
methods of occlusal therapy that are irreversible
intracoronal splints - require tooth preparation
occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
orthodontics
orthognathics surgery
principles of Occlusal adjustment
oocclusal adjustment by _ is one of the most irreversible dental procedures you will ever do - know the limitations
selective grinding
principles of Occlusal adjustment
knowing the _ to occlusal adjustment is more important than knowing the indications to adjust
contraindications
occlusal adjustment by selective grinding _
periodontal occlusal trauma post-orthodontics - fine tuning prior to extensive restorations certain types of TMD certain wear patterns
indications
occlusal adjustment by selective grinding _
severe malocclusion
non-ideal but well tolerated occlusion
severe wear or if occlusal adjustment would expose dentin
patient in pain
if no suitable end point can be reached (because of malocclusion or tooth malposition)
contraindications
goals in occlusal adjustment
_ overtime
_ loading forces
_ guideance in excursions that are smooth gliding and unrestrained
occlusal stability over time
axial loading of forces
anterior guidance in excursions that are smooth gliding
Occlusal adjustment by selective grinding _ a. CR b. excursions non-working side (balancing) working side protrusive
comprehensive
Occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
- _: mainly excursive movements
a. directed toward eliminating lateral “jiggling-type” forces
limited: mainly excursive movements
Occlusal adjustment: general concepts
- _ so that CR-to-CO is not an inclined deflective contact
- _ of forces to prevent jigglying buccolingual forces
- reduction of wear facets by _ _ _
- NO _ contacts
- working contacts = _ guided if possible. _ if needed(with less force on molars)
- Protrusive: anterior contacts no _ protrusive contacts
- long centric
- axial loading of forces
- grooving, spheroiding, pointing
- no non-working balancing contacts
- canine guided if possible, group function if needed
- no posterior protrusive contacts
steps in comprehensive occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
- _ hit and slide - eliminate or reduce
- non-working side “balancing inferences
- working contacts
- protrusive contacts
- sharp or irregular incisal edges
- _ all teeth that were adjusted
- CR-CO hit and slide - eliminate
- eliminate them
- canine guide smooth and gliding
- anterior
- recontour them
- polish all teeth that were adjusted
what jaw position do we adjust in
jaw positioning
contact relationships
