Dental Occlusion

The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.

1.	Open Bite (Openbite) 02/01/1999 - "The system was also very effective for controlling the cant and level of the occlusal plane during orthodontic open-bite correction." 09/01/2020 - "Measurements assessing the vertical dimension showed that GoGn/SN, Frankfurt horizontal (FH)/mandibular plane (MP), palatal plane (PP)/MP, occlusal plane (OP)/MP, and OP-MP/PP-MP measurements were significantly greater in the open bite group (p<0.001). " 04/01/2011 - "Non-breastfed children presented significantly greater chances of having anterior open bite compared with those who were breastfed for periods longer than 12 months, demonstrating the beneficial influence of breastfeeding on dental occlusion." 01/01/2022 - "The results demonstrated that the biomechanics involved in the nonsurgical treatment assisted with miniscrews to distalize the mandibular dentition and flatten the occlusal plane while keeping the mandibular plane stable was effective for treating this hyperdivergent skeletal Class III patient with a convex profile and anterior open bite." 10/01/2002 - "The maxillary occlusal plane did not rotate in group 1, in contrast to the clockwise rotation in group 2. The maxillary incisors were proclined slightly in group 1, but in contrast they were retroclined and extruded in group 2. In conclusion, the force application from near the center of resistance of the maxilla was an effective method to prevent the unwanted side effects, such as counter-clockwise rotation of the maxilla, in group 1. The group 2 results suggest that this method can be used effectively on patients who present as class III combined with an anterior open bite."
2.	Pain (Aches) 05/27/2021 - "Results: similar pain factor (PF) reduction was observed in both the examined groups, regardless of the device used; canine guidance and no guidance were similarly effective in terms of increasing pain resilience." 08/01/2006 - "The authors compared the efficacy of bilateral balanced and canine guidance (occlusal) splints in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain in subjects who experienced joint clicking with a nonoccluding splint in a double-blind, controlled randomized clinical trial. " 10/01/1991 - "Two diagnostic tests, positive tenderness to palpation of the inferior bellies of the lateral pterygoid muscles and a positive stress test, are helpful in determining whether the dental occlusion is a principal etiologic factor in ischemic pain in the muscles of mastication. " 04/01/2008 - "The aims of this study were to examine the 1-year period prevalence, incidence, and course of myofascial pain in the jaw-face region, and to analyze whether female gender, dental occlusion, and oral parafunctions have any influence on these signs and symptoms. " 11/01/2023 - "No changes in measurements of jaw mobility, dental occlusion, or pain on palpation of the temporomandibular joints or masticatory muscles were seen at the follow-up. "
3.	Facial Asymmetry 09/01/2007 - "To study the efficacy of modified simultaneous maxillary-mandibular distraction to correct facial asymmetry in patients with compensated occlusion and a canted occlusal plane. " 10/01/2018 - "Facial asymmetry was corrected and the occlusal plane was improved. " 07/01/2010 - "The postoperative course was stable, and the facial asymmetry and cant of the occlusal plane improved and remained suitable 2 years after surgery. " 03/01/2009 - "The purpose of this study was to compare a computed tomographic (CT) three-dimensional analysis with a model analysis to use it as diagnostic aid for the evaluation of occlusal plane tilting in facial asymmetry. " 05/11/2023 - "A retrospective study was performed including nine subjects diagnosed with UCH type 1B and progressive facial asymmetry around 12 years old with an upper canine progressing towards dental occlusion. "
4.	Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) 01/01/2022 - "Stomatognathic functional improvement in a patient with a canted occlusal plane and temporomandibular disorder treated with an edgewise appliance and miniscrews." 06/01/2014 - "The efficacy of bilateral balanced and canine guidance occlusal splints in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder." 01/01/2018 - "The aims of the present study were to investigate the occurrence of temporomandibular disorders, to evaluate the psychosocial status, and to assess the dental occlusion in a population of adult OI patients. " 10/27/2017 - "English language clinical studies assessing the association between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and features of dental occlusion were considered.Data" 02/01/2015 - "Recently, some published studies show there is a multifactorial origin for Temporomandibular Disorders, but the dental occlusion's contribution to the development of Temporomandibular Disorders, and how it may influence the adaptive capacity of the Stomatognathic system, it's still unclear. "
5.	Overbite 12/01/2018 - "Occlusal cusp-fossa relationships were established and canine relationships were class I. The lower occlusal plane and mandible were rotated counterclockwise, which helped to achieve proper overbite. " 11/01/2019 - "A clockwise rotation (3.9°) of the functional occlusal plane in the treatment group occurred during phase I; a substantial rebound (-3.6°) occurred during phase II. Overjet and overbite improved during treatment, as did molar relationship; the lower incisors proclined (4.2°). " 02/01/1999 - "To study retrospectively natural changes in dental occlusion during this interval, plaster-cast millimetric measurements were recorded of sagittal dental relationships (first molar and canine), overjet, overbite, and crowding/spacing at the two registrations. " 02/01/2022 - "Both treated groups had similar dentoskeletal changes: restrictive effect on the maxilla; clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane; mild increase in lower anterior facial height; limitation on the vertical development of the maxillary molars; labial tipping and intrusion of the mandibular incisors; extrusion of mandibular molars; improvements of the maxillomandibular relationship, overjet, overbite, molar relationship; and retrusion of the upper lip. " 01/01/2022 - "The aim of this case report is to outline the clinical management of the occlusal plane of a growing Class II division 1 deep bite patient treated with aligners and Class II elastics.
