Nine factors governing the articulation are
called as”Laws of articulation”
• Horizontal condylar guidance
• compensating curve
• Protrusive incisal guidance
• Plane of orientation
• Buccolingual inclination of the tooth axis
• Sagittal condylar pathway
• Sagittal incisal guidance
• tooth alignment
• Relative cusp height
6).Boucher’s concept-
✦ Orientation of the occlusal plane, incisal guidance &
the condylar guidance.
✦ Anguation of the cusp.
✦ Increase in the height of the cusp without changing
the form of the teeth.
7). Lott’s
concept-
Shallow condylar guidance
produces lesser tooth
separation during
protrusion
• Reverse curve is
used in the
bicuspid area for
lever balance
5). CUSPAL ANGULATION -
“Angle made by the average slope of a cusp
with the Cuspal plane measured
mesiodistally or buccolingually”.
• It is an important factor that modify the
effect of plane of occlusion & the
compensating curves.
• Mesiodistal cusps are reduced to prevent
the locking of cusps
• In shallow bite cases- cuspal angle should
be reduced to balance the incisal guidance.
In Deep bite cases with steep incisal
guidance , the jaw separation is more
during protrusion .Teeth with high cuspal
inclines are required for these cases
“ Occlusal reshaping is done after teeth
arrangment to produce balanced
occlusion.”
2).MONOPLANE Or NON-
BALANCED OCCLUSION
• Shepherd gave the statement “ Enter bolus
and exit balance”
• According to this multiple uniform contacts in
centric relation was sufficient to avoid
harmful lateral forces, non anatomic teeth
were preferred
• Following concepts developed
(ii)Spherical theory
(iii)Organic occlusion
(iv)Occlusal balance theory
Pound’s concept- proposed
monoplane occlusion with
sharp upper lingual & wide
lower central fossa with
buccal cusp reduced,
thus suggesting lingualised
occlusion.
Cusp form gold occlusal concept - suggests the use o
teeth with a 33o cusp form made on a gold surface.
Occlusal pivot by Sears
Kurth’s concept
Philip M. Jones Scheme of non-balanced occlusion
Neutrocentric concept-
a). Non-anatomic teeth
b). Plane of occlusion parallel to the
residual ridge.
C).No compensating curves, teeth are
set flat
d). Maxillary & mandibular teeth
arranged without any vertical overlap.
(e). Complete intercuspation between
the upper & lower posterior teeth
except second molar.
(f).Narrow teeth selected to decrease
occlusal forces.
3) LINGUALISED
First proposed by Alfred Gysi in 1927.
1941 Payne desired a modification of
anatomic teeth.
Involves the use of a large upper palatal cusp
against a wide lower central fossa.
Buccal cusps of upper & lower teeth do not
contact each other.
