Dynamics of Dental Occlusion in Baboons

Journal of Dental Research, 1974
An investigation of the dynamics of dental occlusion in baboons showed mandibular movement to be rotary and cyclic and to include lateral motion. The path of motion was related directly to the dental articulation, and it was not restricted by the overlapping canines, indicating a major premise of the cuspid-rise theory is invalid.

Relationship Between Dental Occlusion and Posture

CRANIO®, 2000
The purpose of this study is to show the effects of dental occlusion on postural position. Thirty subjects were divided into two groups: an experimental group who wore mandibular orthopedic repositioning appliances (MORA) and a control group who wore no oral device. All of the subjects underwent the same Fukuda-Unterberger experimental stepping test to

Ideal versus adequate dental occlusion

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1957
The occlusion of the teeth has been said to be the basis for the science of den­ tistry. In spite of this, the subject of occlusion has been much talked about, but little has been done about it until recently. This paradoxical situation can be traced to the dental curriculum.

Dental Occlusion and Athletic Performance

2017
Many studies support the theory that dental occlusion affects posture, muscular strength and output (Moon and Yong-Keun 2011). Equally, dental interferences increase an athlete’s susceptibility to injury of biomechanical origin.

Occlusion in general dental practice

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1957
Summary The dentist must be aware of the significance of occlusal inequalities in diagnosis and treatment planning. He must avoid producing interfering points in his restorations. Attention must be paid to centric position and to lateral movements, particularly on the balancing side.

Dental occlusion as one cause of tinnitus

Medical Hypotheses, 2019
There is large support in literature linking tinnitus to dental occlusion and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). However, there is no model to explain such a link. This hypothesis explains how the fusimotor system of the muscles innervated by the trigeminal motor nucleus is affected by inadequacies in the occlusion of the teeth that cause changes

THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF DENTAL OCCLUSION: A CRITICAL APPRAISAL

Journal of Public Health Dentistry, 1974
The Editor was glad to publish this review of the literature because Dr. Jago appears to have performed quite a service in bringing together the information now available on indexes of malocclusion.

An engineering analysis of dental occlusion principles

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2009
The purpose of this study was to develop an analytical model of contacting teeth, based on principles of basic engineering statics. The model would be used to demonstrate the interactions between occlusal contacts and tooth loading (forces and moments) and to critique occlusion-related dogma.Free-body diagrams were drawn to depict 2 teeth in occlusal ...

Methodological challenges in the study of dental occlusion

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2012
Summary  This narrative review describes the methodological challenges in the study of dental occlusion. The reigning confusion about the scope of this topic is discussed, and a conceptual framework for understanding dental occlusion research is suggested.
