Occlusion

An in-depth academic treatise on the complex subject of dental occlusion, focusing on the contact and articulation of teeth, jaw movements, and the associated musculature and temporomandibular joints. It emphasizes the need for a three-dimensional perspective in understanding occlusion, often lamenting the confusion caused by widely used but poorly defined terms like "centric." The material extensively covers the diagnosis and treatment of occlusal disturbances and disorders, such as the mandibular dysfunction syndrome (MDS), through procedures like occlusal adjustment and the use of specialized instruments like articulators and pantographs for accurate analysis and reconstruction. Furthermore, the text addresses the historical evolution of the human dentition, discusses the biomechanics of muscle activity and joint function, and provides clinical guidance for fixed and removable prosthetic restorations, stressing the importance of achieving a reproducible intercuspal position (IP) and balanced function.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
