Functional Occlusion: From TMJ to Smile Design

About this episode

Focuses on the complex masticatory system and the principles of "complete dentistry". The text emphasizes the critical importance of a stable and harmonious relationship between the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), the masticatory muscles, and the occluding surfaces of the teeth for optimal oral health. It covers diagnostic procedures like centric relation determination and load testing, discusses various occlusal disorders such as wear and pain, and details treatment modalities including occlusal equilibration, splint therapy, and restorative techniques. Furthermore, the author advocates for programmed treatment planning and cautions against relying on symptoms alone, stressing the need to address the underlying causative factors of dental instability.
