Published: February 2008

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of position of occlusal interference on the track of mandibular incisal point during lateral movement.

Methods: The changes of track of mandibular incisal point along with the changing of occlusal interference position were recorded by Arcus DigMa mandibular moving track analysis system. The relativity between occlusal interference position and mandibular incisal point moving track on arrowy axis, vertical axis and horizontal axis was analyzed. Regression analysis was performed for linear correlation between occlusal interference position and mandible lateral moving track using SAS 9.0 software package.

Results: The results showed that along with the retrusive of occlusal interference, the moving distance of mandibular incisal point on horizontal axis both to contralateral side and to ipsilateral side tended to increase. The linear regression equation of mandibular incisal point moving distance on horizontal axis along with the occlusal interference position was as follows,to ipsilateral side,y;=8.2262+0.1082 x 1,delta=0.1786,P<0.001; to contralateral side,y;=9.1098+0.07099 x 1-0.02650 x 2,delta=0.05989,P<0.001.

Conclusion: The position of occlusal interference affects the track of mandibular incisal point during lateral movement significantly, along with the retrusive occlusal interference, the mandible lateral moving distance on horizontal axis tends to be increased and shows linearity.Supported by Shanghai Leading Academic Discipline Project (Grant No. T0202).

The human tooth's morphology, which includes variations in cusp numbers and patterns, is of tremendous interest to anthropologists, morphologists, and dentists. Cusp 6 is an additional cusp that is very seldom encountered in primary or permanent mandibular molars, especially first molars. A supernumerary cusp located lingual to the distobuccal cusp at the crown's distal border is cusp 6.

Self -reported bruxism in patients undergoing Orthodontic treatment - a cross-sectional study.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Department of Surgery, Program Director Orthodontics Residency Program, Section of Dentistry, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Stadium Road, P.O Box 3500, Karachi, 74800, Pakistan.

Background: Orthodontic treatment involves manipulation of tooth position that can temporarily lead to occlusal interferences capable of inducing bruxism. The objectives of this study were to determine the self-reported incidence of bruxism and its association with factors such as facial type, divergence, skeletal and dental malocclusions in orthodontic patients.

Materials And Methods: 80 patients who underwent a minimum of six months of orthodontic treatment were surveyed using a validated self-reported bruxism questionnaire for the presence or absence of bruxism.

A clinical comparative analysis using an optical tracking device versus conventional tracking device in the production of occlusal appliances.

J Prosthodont

December 2024

Advanced Graduate Prosthodontics, Department of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials Sciences, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Purpose: Optical tracking devices (OTDs) hold promise for enhancing patient-centered prostheses, but their efficacy remains underexplored. This clinical study aimed to comprehensively evaluate differences in static and dynamic occlusions among occlusal appliances fabricated using optical tracking, conventional tracking, and average articulator values (AAVs), providing insights into their efficacy in clinical and research-based practices.

Materials And Methods: Twelve dentate participants aged over 25 years, with Angle Class I and II occlusal relationships, were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the difficulties of designing prosthetic occlusal surfaces that accurately reflect a patient's jaw movements, highlighting the need for precision in avoiding occlusal interferences during lateral excursions.
  • It aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digitally replicating mandibular movements to identify and correct these interferences in CAD-CAM zirconia crowns through two different adjustment methods.
  • Results showed that crowns adjusted using only buccal records (Group I) had higher lateral pressure measurements compared to those adjusted with both buccal and lateral records (Group II), suggesting that the latter may lead to better occlusion outcomes.
