Why balanced occlusion is important?

Why balanced occlusion is important?

Mandibular teeth centralize vertical forces. Food bolus is well-penetrated. When bilateral balanced occlusion is used with LO, it accords more stability and a favorable stress distribution in parafunctional and excursive movements than single LO.

What is balanced occlusion?

Balanced Occlusion is defined as the bilateral, simultaneous, anterior, and posterior occlusal contact of teeth in centric and eccentric positions. Balanced occlusion in complete dentures is unique, as it does not occur with natural teeth.

What is a healthy occlusion?

Occlusion is the term used when discussing your bite and how your teeth come together and move side to side in your mouth. Healthy occlusion, or a healthy bite, can be affected by multiple factors that your doctor will evaluate during the course of your exam.

When do we use Lingualized occlusion?

5) This occlusion can be used for a wide variety of residual ridge conditions. Lingualized occlusion is a compromise between using anatomic and nonanatomic posterior tooth forms. In a nonbalanced set‐up, the dentures may still tip in contact positions other than centric occlusion due to the lack of balancing contacts.

What is Christensen phenomenon?

[C. Christensen, Danish dentist and educator] A gap occurring in the natural dentition or between the opposing posterior flat occlusal rims when the mandible is protruded (posterior open bite). It can lead to instability in full dentures unless compensating curves are incorporated into the dentures.

What is non balanced occlusion?

Occlusion according to The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms Ninth Edition is defined as ‘the static relationship between the incising or masticating surfaces of the maxillary or mandibular teeth or tooth analogues’. Non-balanced occlusion is seen when teeth do not occlude in simultaneous contacts.

What are the different types of occlusion?

6 Types of Occlusion

• Underbite. One of the types of occlusion is the underbite.
• Overbite. This is the complete opposite of underbite.
• Crossbite. Another type of teeth occlusion is the crossbite.
• Crowding.
• Overjet.
• Open Bite.

What is normal occlusion?

Normal occlusion occurs when the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar is received in the buccal groove of the lower first molar (Angle class I occlusion).

What is an occlusion?

An occlusion is a complete or partial blockage of a blood vessel. While occlusions can happen in both veins and arteries, the more serious ones occur in the arteries. An occlusion can reduce or even stop the flow of oxygen-rich blood to downstream vital tissues like the heart, brain, or extremities.

What is Bennett angle?

Bennett angle – the angle formed by the sagittal plane and the path of the advancing condyle during lateral mandibular movement as viewed in the horizontal plane. Bennett movement – the bodily lateral movement or lateral shift of the mandible during a laterotrusive movement.

What is combination syndrome?

Combination syndrome (CS) is a dental condition that is commonly seen in patients with a completely edentulous maxilla and partially edentulous mandible with preserved anterior teeth.

What is centric and eccentric occlusion?

central occlusion (centric occlusion) occlusion of the teeth when the mandible is in centric relation to the maxilla, with full occlusal surface contact of the upper and lower teeth in habitual occlusion. eccentric occlusion occlusion of the teeth when the lower jaw has moved from the centric position.
