Disease relevance of Dental Occlusion

This review, divided into two parts, evaluates the literature on the relationship between dental occlusion and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and the need for occlusal therapy in the management of TMD [1].
OBJECTIVE: Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital abnormality that causes three-dimensional facial asymmetry, affection of the dental occlusion, and failure of growth of the midface in the growing child [2].

High impact information on Dental Occlusion

Mandibular distraction in adults with hemifacial microsomia, who usually have stable dental occlusion, produces good aesthetic results but also severe alterations in the occlusion requiring complex orthodontic treatment over a long period [3].
Group function was the preferred design of the occlusal contact pattern (53.4%), followed by 37% for canine guidance and about 9% for balanced articulation [4].
Temporomandibular joint involvement and dental occlusion in a group of adults with rheumatoid arthritis [5].

Anatomical context of Dental Occlusion

This study investigated the role of occlusal balance and canine guidance or group function guidance in masseter muscle function of normal subjects [6].
Effect of canine guidance of maxillary occlusal splint on level of activation of masticatory muscles [7].

Gene context of Dental Occlusion

Micrognathia, temporomandibular joint changes and dental occlusion in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis of adolescents and adults [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Dental Occlusion

AB to maxillary occlusal plane angle (MxOP) represented the anteroposterior denture base discrepancy to the occlusal plane [9].
The effects of subsequent growth on the esthetic, occlusal, and skeletal results achieved immediately following surgery were evaluated through analysis of profile esthetics, dental occlusion, and skeletal changes which occurred from the immediate postoperative period to longest follow-up examination [10].
OBJECTIVE: Two occlusal concepts exist for the setup of complete dentures: canine guidance and balanced occlusion [11].
