BASIC OCCLUSAL FORMS

    

1. Anatomic, balanced occlusion. 2. Semi-anatomic, balanced occlusion. 3. Nonanatomic, balanced occlusion. 4. Neutrocentric occlusion. 5. Lingualized occlusion. : Balanced or : Non-balanced

Advantages of Anatomic Occlusion

   

1. Esthetics. 2. Better penetration of food bolus, 3. Decrease of vertical stresses. 4. Harmony with muscles of mastication and TMJ during functional and non-functional movements.

Disadvantages of Anatomic Occlusion

  

1. precise technique required. 2. greater lateral forces 3. more time, not long-lasting, require occlusal adjustment 4. difficult to tooth position in class II, III, Xbite

SEMI-ANATOMIC, BALANCED OCCLUSION

Advantages of Semi-anatomic Cusp Teeth

    

1. Esthetics 2. Good chewing efficiency 3. Balanced occlusion 4. Less lateral forces 5. Functional occlusal balance

Disadvantages of Semi-anatomic Cusp Teeth

 

1. Same as for anatomic teeth. 2. More difficult to achieve cross arch, cross tooth balance. 3. Esthetics reduced somewhat by decreasing the incisal guidance of anterior teeth.

NONANATOMIC, BALANCED OCCLUSION

Balanced occlusion for non-anatomic teeth may be accomplished by: 1.compensating curve 2.tilting the second molar 3.placing the balancing ramp

Advantages of Nonanatomic Occlusion



1. Slightly more esthetic than neutrocentric occlusion. 2. patients with poor neuromuscular coordination, difficult to obtain precise, repeatable jaw relation records.

Advantages of Nonanatomic Occlusion

 

3. Less time involved in set up and articulation.. 4. patients with cross bite or Class III relationships and particularly for patients with Class II relationships who move the mandible far forward in functional relationships.

Disadvantages of Nonanatomic Occlusion



1. Use of a compensating curve may cause the same damaging effects as cuspal inclines. 2. Occlusal adjustments are more difficult to accomplish.

NEUTROCENTRIC OCCLUSION


"neutralizing cuspal inclines and centralizing occlusal forces". Position Proportion Pitch Form Number

    

Advantages of Neutrocentric Occlusion

  

1. simple and less time consuming. 2. less precise jaw relation records. 3. lateral forces are reduced by eliminating (neutralizing) cuspal inclines.

Advantages of Neutrocentric Occlusion

  

4. simpler and easier occlusal adjustments 5. occlusion is not locked 6. good for patients with Class II (Retrognathic), Class III (Prognathic) and crossbite ridge relations. 7. for the geriatric patient

Disadvantages of Neutrocentric Occlusion

  

1. least esthetic 2. poor bolus penetration 3. disclusion of the posterior teeth in Class II patients. 4. can not be balanced in eccentric excursions.

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION
  

A lingualized occlusal scheme can be: 1. Bilaterally balanced. 2. Non-balanced

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

Balanced lingualized class I arrangement Tooth- to- tooth Max. Li cusp to central fossa

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

A 20-degree occlusal template being used to generate the occlusal plane

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

Cross-arch contacts during an excursive movement

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

Balanced lingualized class II arrangement Narrower mand. anterior Drop mand. first premolar

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

Balanced lingualized class III arrangement Wider mand. Anterior Drop max. first premolar

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

Cross-bite, Li cusp plays no role at all

LlNGUALIZED OCCLUSION

Nonbalanced lingualized class I Blunt max. Li cusp and mand. limited occlusal anatomy

Advantages of Lingualized Occlusion

   

1. Esthetics 2. Better penetration of the food bolus 3. Decrease of vertical and lateral forces 4. Simpler technique. less precise CR records 5. Useful in a wide variety of patients

Advantages of Lingualized Occlusion



 

6. Added stability is gained during parafunctional movements with a balanced occlusion. 7. Easier to adjust occlusion 8. May be used in Class II, Class III and crossbite 9. may be used to incorporate many of the advantages but few of the disadvantages of other occlusal schemes.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS



There is no one ideal occlusal scheme to fit all the variety of patient situations and requirements. There is not clear cut research in occlusion to support one occlusal scheme over another
