2021年6月5日 · Understanding the occlusal contact relationship impacts the providers' ability to design and place dental implants, implement orthodontic braces, fit dentures, re-establish masticatory function, and restore a patient’s native bite after maxillofacial trauma.

Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest.

The T-Scan III system can display and quantify accurate occlusal contact information and occlusal force from clinical occlusal treatment, which overcomes the known limitations of bite...

Occlusal contacts are defined as contacts between the occluding surfaces of teeth when the distance is less than 50 μm [1]. When the distance is between 50 and 350 μm, they are called near-occlusal contacts. Adequate functional occlusal contacts are required for good masticatory performance and a healthy temporomandibular joint [2].

The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the type of occlusal contacts in the maximum intercuspal position (MIP), and the occlusal interferences and methods of their marking and detection.

2023年12月14日 · Occlusal contacts between arches may affect the transmission of masticatory forces, thereby influencing the biological response of the periodontal and the oromandibular system. Occlusion factors...

Occlusal contacts refer to the points of contact between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth closes. Proper occlusal contacts are essential for efficient chewing, maintaining tooth alignment, and preventing excessive wear.

2021年5月16日 · Three different methods were used to evaluate occlusal contacts: (I) a digital examination of the patients’ casts, using the Ortho 3D Models (O3DM) software and measuring the total occlusal contact area in square millimeters (DE); (II) an examination involving the measurement of the total number of occlusal contacts on stone casts mounted in ...

This second part of the two-part article discusses different types of occlusal contacts and their interferences. It also provides a practical guide to what is required to optimise the restorative treatment outcome. Occlusion and its effect on dental implants are also presented.

Occlusal contacts between arches may affect the transmission of masticatory forces, thereby influencing the biological response of the periodontal and the oromandibular system. Occlusion factors that may influence the stability after orthodontic tooth …
