Concepts of Complete Denture Occlusion: An Imperative Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Occlusion encompasses a wide section in dentistry and has been described as the most important subject in all the disciplines of dentistry. Occlusion is the meeting ground of all phases and all specialties of dentistry. Since then, several balanced and nonbalanced occlusion concepts were proposed in the literature. It is necessary for clinician to have knowledge about occlusion-related issues for good clinical practice in all dental disciplines. Occlusion has attained its current role as ‘the medium of dentistry’. Successfully treated patients has the capability to fundamentally change static and dynamic relationships of occlusion, while aiming for achieving as near ‘‘ideal’’ occlusion as possible. Occlusal surfaces of the teeth should essentially replaced either by restorations in natural teeth, or replacement of some or all of the teeth which is required for the routine functioning of teeth. The masticating mechanism of successfully treated patients carry out its normal physiologic functions while the TMJ, the neuromuscular mechanism, the teeth, and their supporting structures remain in a good state of health. The concepts of occlusion involve not only the static relationship of teeth but also their functional interrelationships and all components of the masticatory system. Studies have been done to investigate the occlusal relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth during protrusion and lateral excursion movements. Based on these studies, there are various occlusal concepts of balanced occlusion, group function cuspid protection and mutually protected occlusion. A balanced occlusion appears to be most appropriate because of tooth contacts observed during nonfunctional activities of patients. This article discusses about different concepts of occlusion in complete denture
