Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Analysis of the occlusion and function of the masticatory system should be part of a thorough examination of the patient. This is especially important when signs or symptoms of functional disturbances are present or when planning extensive occlusal restorations. This article has strived to present (1) indications for occlusal analysis; (2) how to perform occlusal analysis and diagnostic aids that can be helpful in occlusal analysis; and (3) how information gained through occlusal analysis can be used in differential diagnosis of the three most common functional disturbancies of the masticatory system: trauma from occlusion, parafunction, and TM disorders. |
