occlusal

The occlusal view is not included in the standard full mouth series.

He was the first to define occlusal trauma in 1917.

Occlusal X-rays may also be used to find a foreign object.

There are two types of occlusal trauma, primary and secondary.

However, occlusal interferences are extremely common and usually do not cause any problems.

Teeth are constantly subject to both horizontal and vertical occlusal forces.

This is usually the outcome associated with untreated secondary occlusal trauma.

As expected, wear usually begins on the incisal or occlusal surfaces.

The occlusal surface is poorly preserved, but its dimensions are at least 2.14 x 2.42 mm.

The occlusal pattern of m2 resembles that of m1.

Occlusal X-rays are larger and show full tooth development and placement.

Embrasures are usually found in between fossa of adjacent and occlusal teeth.

In the occlusal surface, these three infundibula merge into a single islet.

In a minority of cases, sleep bruxism may be made worse by an occlusal splint.

There are a number of hypotheses regarding the basis of occlusal dysesthesia.

Tooth movement that occurs during occlusal loading is sometimes termed fremitus.

A cusp is an occlusal or incisal eminence on a tooth.

Specific types of occlusal splint are discussed below.

Microscopically, there will be a number of features that accompany occlusal trauma:

The oblique ridge is found on the occlusal surfaces of maxillary molars.

Planned occlusal changes can be tested using a removable appliance prior to permanent treatment.

Occurs at proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth when they move against one another on occlusal loading.

Occlusal splints are typically made of a heat-cured acrylic resin.

If this occlusal relationship is not balanced properly it may result in pain, tenderness and even mobility of the affected teeth.

A cusp is an elevation on an occlusal surface of posterior teeth and canines.
