Abstract
The success is evidenced by the longevity of aesthetic and functional therapeutic result. The occlusal «postorthodontic» failure could result in dental instability, functional discomfort, dental or musculo-articular complaint. Analysis of the occlusion research potential occlusal pathogenic dysfunction listed in stabilizing (shimming), centering and guiding anomalies. The large capacity of tolerance of the masticatory system makes it difficult to define the border between physiology and pathology but it is necessary to have benchmarks that can be summarized as follows: - shimming: occlusal contact of mesio-lingual cusp of the first maxillary molars (in Class I, II or III) and occlusal contacts between the canines antagonists; - centering: no transversal deflected occlusion between maximal Intercuspation (ICP) and occlusion in Centric Relation (RCP); - guiding: absence of posterior interference, absence of anterior interference (locking).

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recently, digital wax-up is proposed as a tool to aid prosthodontic planning. However, there are no data about the effect of prosthodontic planning on lateral occlusion scheme. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the impact of conventional and digital prosthodontic planning on lateral occlusion scheme. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dental models of 10 patients were collected. All models had Angle Class I occlusion and were undergoing prosthodontic treatment that would influence the lateral occlusion scheme. Each set of models had received both conventional wax-up and digital wax-up. In relation to the lateral occlusion scheme, the following variables were evaluated: the prevalence of the different lateral occlusion scheme, number of contacting teeth and percentage of each contacting tooth. Four excursive positions on the working side were included: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mm from the maximal intercuspation position. RESULTS The lateral occlusion scheme of the two wax-up models was subjected to alterations following excursion. There was a tendency for the prevalence of canine-guided occlusion to increase and for the prevalence of group function occlusion to decrease with increasing excursion. The number of contacting teeth was decreasing with the increasing magnitude of excursion. For the 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm positions, the two wax-ups had significantly greater contacts than the pre-treatment models, while at the 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm positions, all the models were similar. For all models, canines were the most commonly contacting teeth, followed by the teeth adjacent to them. No difference was observed between the two wax-ups in relation to the number of contacting teeth. CONCLUSION Although the prosthodontic planning had influenced the pattern of the lateral occlusion scheme and contacts, there was no difference between the conventional and digital prosthodontic planning.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A valid system for assessing and classifying functional occlusion has not been established. The prevalence of anterior protected articulation is not known. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to quantify the prevalence of various functional occlusal contact patterns, including anterior protected articulation, among dental students. MATERIAL AND METHODS Occlusal contacts were examined during lateral excursions from the maximal intercuspal position to the canine-to-canine position in 100 young adults. A combination of 3 common clinical methods was used: a visual examination, articulating paper, and feedback from the participants. RESULTS Data from 3 classification systems were analyzed: (1) Occlusal contacts on the working side only – canine protected articulation was present in 25% of laterotrusions; anterior protected articulation was present in 18.5% of laterotrusions. Group function was present in 56% of laterotrusions. Other schemes were present in 0.5% of laterotrusions. (2) Contacts on both the working and the nonworking side. (3) Contacts on the working and nonworking side during both right and left laterotrusion. Nonworking side contacts were present in 33% of the participants. Nonworking side interference was present in 1 participant. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of anterior protected articulation found in this study was high enough to allow anterior protected articulation to be considered one of the fundamental working side occlusal contact patterns. More studies will be necessary to confirm this finding.

Abstract
The existing classification systems like canine-guided and group function are insufficient to classify all clinical conditions and chances of subjective variations are always there, as there is no standardization in examination method. Hence a study was planned to find out the frequency of tooth contacts in different lateral positions and to assess whether existing occlusal schemes like canine protection and group function can classify all occlusal guidance in the natural dentition. 100 systematically healthy undergraduate students between the age group of 18 to 25 years were selected. Occlusal contacts were examined with shim stock in lateral positions, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mm from the maximum intercuspation. Frequency of tooth contacts in different lateral positions was examined. The SPSS version 15.0 statistical software and Chi- Square test were used for statistical analysis. Out of all the four lateral positions, 0.5 mm position showed maximum contacts which progressively decreases for further positions. Out of all teeth, canine showed consistent contact frequency throughout all four positions. Most contact patterns belonged to group function, and a few to canine protection. Majority of the contact patterns were those other than canine protection and group function and were unclassifiable. On the basis of the results of this study, it does not seem appropriate to describe and classify the patterns of occlusal contact using only existing classification system. A clear description regarding the position of mandible should be included in definition for research as well as clinical situations. Here an attempt is made to classify eccentric occlusal contact at different lateral positions so as to get consistent result for future studies.

Abstract
The objective was to characterise the patterns and forces of occlusal contacts during lateral mandibular excursions in a young Chinese adult population. Angle Class I normal occlusions in 85 dental students aged 20-29 were evaluated using the T-Scan II occlusal imaging and analysis system. The frequency of occlusal contacts was recorded for right and left lateral excursions at the position of lateral disclusion, at the canine-to-canine position and at the lateral maximal position. At the canine-to-canine position, the occlusal contact patterns were classified, and the relative forces were compared by multiple regression analysis, with α = 0·05. At the position of lateral disclusion, a high percentage of canine contacts (58·5%) and individual posterior tooth contacts on the working side was observed. At the canine-to-canine position, the canines on the working side contacted most frequently (68·9%), and the occlusal contact patterns could be classified into six groups. At the lateral maximal position, incisors (39·0%) and canines (32·3%) contacted most frequently. At the canine-to-canine position, subjects with occlusal contacts only on canines or on first premolars on the working side had the lowest relative occlusal forces (P < 0·001). Canine protection and group function do not identify all descriptors for lateral occlusal contact patterns in the natural dentition. Six occlusal contact patterns were found at the lateral canine-to-canine position.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether the state of occlusal contact on lateral excursion is related to the pattern of masticatory movement path. The masticatory movement during mastication of softened chewing gum and the occlusal contact on lateral sliding of the mandible by 1 mm (L1), 2 mm (L2) and 3 mm (L3) were recorded in 50 healthy subjects. The path of masticatory movement was classified into one of seven patterns. The number of teeth involved in the occlusal contact in each pattern was investigated and compared among different lateral occlusal positions. The occlusal contact was then classified into 15 types based on one or a combination of the following four regions; incisal region, canine region, premolar region and molar region. The number of occlusal contact type for each pattern was investigated and compared among patterns. The number of teeth involved in occlusal contact decreased as the degree of lateral excursion increased, and significant differences were observed among the lateral occlusal positions (P < 0.001). The occlusal contact tended to decrease in the molar region and increase in the canine or premolar regions as the degree of the lateral excursion increased. When comparing among patterns, significant differences were observed at L2 and L3 (L2; P < 0.001, L3; P = 0.030) but not at L1 (P = 0.318). The difference was remarkable at L2. It was suggested that the state of occlusal contact at L2 and L3, particularly at L2 was related to the masticatory path pattern.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the short-term impact of an occlusal highspot on the occurrence of orofacial symptoms by collecting self-evaluation and using electromyography (EMG) evaluation. A rigid unilateral intercuspal occlusal highspot (A cast onlay of 0.5 mm) was placed on the right lower first molar of six adult volunteers (three males, three females), and remained for 6 days. Continuously all the induced orofacial symptoms were collected and the subjects scored the orofacial pain on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) during the placement of onlay. The surface EMG was recorded before the placement of onlay, during (on the 3rd and 6th day) and after the onlay was removed. Then the contractile symmetry of bilateral masseter (MAL, MAR) and anterior temporalis (TAL, TAR) was measured by using an asymmetry index. On the 3rd day of the placement of the occlusal highspot, all subjects complained of headache in right temporal region (mean VAS +/- s.d.=3.7+/-0.5); the activity of TAR at rest position of mandible increased significantly (P=0.027). In addition, on the 3rd and 6th day with the highspot the EMG activity of the tested muscles during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) was significantly reduced; the asymmetry index of bilateral anterior temporalis during MVC was increased significantly (P(3rd)=0.028; P(6th)=0.046). A unilateral occlusal highspot may make the ipsilateral anterior temporalis become tenser at rest position. Furthermore, the activity of bilateral anterior temporalis becomes more unsymmetrical during MVC although there are inter-individual differences between subjects. The changes in muscular activity may have some relationship with the occurrence of tension-type headache in temporal region.

Abstract
Masticatory performance is the outcome of a complex interplay of several factors. This study was carried out to determine the relationship between masticatory performance and several muscular-related and occlusion-related factors in a population with a full or near-full complement of natural teeth. One-hundred dentate young adults participated in this cross-sectional study. Maximum muscular force with jaw, hand, tongue, and cheek were measured by means of a gnatodynamometer. Occlusal contact area and number of teeth in contact were determined in the maximal intercuspal position and in a 1.5-mm right and left lateral excursion by means of interocclusal registrations that were scanned and analysed using image software. Masticatory performance was determined by sieving the Optosil particles resulting from 20 chewing cycles. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that the maximum bite force in the region of the first molar had the best correlation with masticatory performance and explained 36% of its variation. Static occlusion characteristics such as occlusal contact area, the lack of lateral crossbite and the number of anterior teeth in contact explained an additional 9% of the variation in masticatory performance. These findings suggest that variables related to dynamic occlusion or tongue or cheek force do not enhance the prediction of masticatory performance.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Occlusal load has frequently been suggested to be involved in the development of a noncarious cervical lesion (NCL). However, there is a lack of clinical studies evaluating NCLs and occlusal parameters in sleep bruxism (SB) subjects. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to assess the frequency of NCLs and determine potential occlusal differences between SB subjects and healthy control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 91 volunteers, 58 women and 33 men, with a mean (SD) age of 28.37 (4.89) years (range of 20 to 39 years), participated in this investigation. The clinical assessment of SB was based on the criteria of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The participants were divided into 2 groups; 58 subjects were assigned to the SB group and 33 subjects to the control group, following a thorough dental examination that was performed by a single trained dentist. Additionally, the following parameters were recorded: mean number of teeth present, existence/absence of NCLs, frequency of NCLs relating to the type of tooth, type of occlusal guidance scheme, existence of a slide from centric occlusion (CO) to maximum intercuspation (MI), length of the slide, and report of tooth hypersensitivity. Group differences were statistically analyzed using chi-square tests for the qualitative variables and Mann-Whitney U tests for the quantitative variables (alpha=.05). RESULTS NCLs were significantly more prevalent in SB subjects (39.7%) than in the control subjects (12.1%) (P=.006). In SB subjects, the first premolars were the teeth most affected, and in control subjects, the first molars were most affected. Tooth hypersensitivity was reported in 62.1% of the SB subjects and in 36.4% of the control subjects (P=.018). The evaluation of occlusal guidance schemes revealed no significant difference between the groups. In SB subjects (70.7%), a slide from CO to MI was significantly more prevalent than in control subjects (42.4%) (P=.008). Moreover, SB subjects demonstrated a significantly longer mean (SD) slide of 0.77 (0.69) mm compared to that of control subjects of 0.4 (0.57) mm (P=.008). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, SB subjects demonstrated significantly more NCLs than the control group; whereas, the type of occlusal guidance scheme seems to be of minor importance in the development of NCLs.

Abstract
Objective: to analyze the pattern of disocclusion during excursive mandibular movements and presence or absence of occlusal interferences and occlusal pathologies (gingival recession and abfraction). Method: examination of 120 individuals divided into two groups, as follows: Group 1-90 patients with complete cleft lip and palate (study group), subdivided into 30 patients with complete left unilateral cleft lip and palate, 30 patients with complete right unilateral cleft lip and palate and 30 patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate; Group 2-30 individuals without clefts (control group). Results: 58.8% of patients in Group 1 presented unilateral or bilateral canine guidance, 26.6% presented unilateral or bilateral group function and 54.4% presented lateral movements through the posterior teeth. Regarding protrusive movements, 80% presented anterior guidance and 20% presented posterior guidance. In Group 2, 69.6% of individuals presented unilateral or bilateral canine guidance, 43.2% presented unilateral or bilateral group function and only 13.3% presented lateral movements through the posterior teeth; 3.4% presented protrusion through the posterior teeth. Conclusions: there was no difference in the pattern of disocclusion between subgroups of patients with clefts. Group 2 presented predominance of bilateral group function, whereas Group 1 presented a higher prevalence of posterior guidance during lateral movements. Protrusion occurred primarily through anterior guidance in Group 2 and through the posterior teeth in Group 1. There was high prevalence of occlusal interferences at the molar area for both groups, yet with no correlation with occlusal pathologies (recession and abfraction).

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The relationship between temporomandibular disorders and occlusal tooth contacts is unclear and controversial. PURPOSE This study assessed whether unilateral temporomandibular disorders were associated with the absence of bilateral symmetry in the number of occlusal contacts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen university dental students who had complete natural dentition and normal occlusion and exhibited unilateral signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders were compared to 15 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects. All participants met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Occlusal contacts were recorded in the intercuspal position with wax registrations. Dental impressions were made and poured in type I stone. Contacts were classified according to location and intensity. Four experienced dentists using an established protocol made all measurements. Assessment of the reliability of the occlusal registration procedure showed a small (<4%) within-subject variability. Statistical analysis was based on the binomial distribution and nonparametric tests (P < .05). RESULTS Subjects with unilateral temporomandibular disorders had greater bilateral difference in the number of contacts than controls. The median (95% confidence interval) difference was 3 (2 to 4) and 2 (1 to 2), respectively. In unilateral temporomandibular disorder subjects, the number of occlusal contacts was greater on the side with, rather than without, disorder (median number 20 vs. 16). The median (95% confidence interval) difference between sides with and without unilateral temporomandibular disorders was 3 (2 to 4) for all contacts and 2 (1 to 3) for contacts on the posterior teeth. CONCLUSION Within the population of this study, a weak association was found between unilateral temporomandibular disorders and asymmetry in the number of occlusal contacts.

Abstract
The features that constitute an "ideal" functional occlusion have not been conclusively established. Orthodontic treatment has the capacity to change static and functional occlusal relationships fundamentally. In this article, we present the evidence on which features of the occlusion are reported to be detrimental to the teeth and masticatory system Deficiencies in this research area are highlighted, together with the need for prospective longitudinal trials to clarify the requirements of an ideal functional occlusion Based on the existing evidence this paper suggests which occlusal features may be significant in producing an "ideal" functional occlusion As no long-term studies exist to measure the impact of non-ideal occlusal relationships on the dentition, it is debatable whether orthodontic treatment should be prolonged in order to ensure that "ideal" occlusal contacts are achieved As the occlusion tends to "settle" in the period following appliance removal, we propose that it may be more appropriate to examine the functional occlusal relationships after retention has ceased rather than prolong active orthodontic treatment to achieve "ideal" functional occlusal goals.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Static and dynamic occlusal interference frequently needs to be corrected by selective grinding of the occlusal surface of conventional cast and ceramic-fused-to-metal restorations. CAD/CAM techniques allow control of the dimensional contours of these restorations. However, parameters responsible for the occlusal form need to be determined. In most articulators, these parameters are set as default values. Which technique is best for minimizing the introduction of occlusal interference in restorations has not been determined. PURPOSE This study investigated differences in crown structure of a crown designed in static occlusion (STA) with designs adapted for dynamic occlusal interferences. Therefore, values from an optoelectronic registration system (String-Condylocomp, KAVO), an occlusal generated path (OGP) technique and default settings (DEF) were used in the CICERO CAD/CAM system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Morphology of CON, DEF, and OGP crowns was compared with that of the STA crown with respect to differences in a buccolingual section and frequency of occlusal distances in an interocclusal range of 1 mm, measured from the occlusal surface of the crown. RESULTS All crown types fulfilled the esthetic and morphologic criteria for restorations in clinical dentistry. Difference in the morphology of the OGP crown, compared with that of the STA crown, was greater than that for the CON and DEF crowns. These differences were seen especially in the distobuccal part of the occlusal surface; however, the number of occlusal contacts was considered sufficient to stabilize occlusion. CONCLUSION Functional occlusion, adapted to dynamic occlusion in a CICERO crown for the first mandibular molar, can be obtained using data acquired with the String-Condylocomp registration system. The OGP technique was preferred to other techniques because of the simplicity of the technique for eliminating potential problems with opposing teeth during motion. However, this is achieved at the cost of fewer points of contact during occlusion than with the CON crown.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was based on the hypothesis that conflicting findings and inconclusive consensus regarding the role of occlusal factors in the masticatory system are due to the variations in the definitions and methods used to describe and examine the occlusal factors. The object of this study was to determine whether contact patterns during lateral movement vary with mandibular positions and whether the contact pattern in lateral positions close to the maximum intercuspation has characteristics distinct from those in an edge-to-edge position. METHODS Occlusal contacts of 86 young adults were examined using shim stock in regulated lateral positions: 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mm from the maximum intercuspation, where the 0.5, 1 and 2 mm positions were defined as lateral positions close to the maximum intercuspation and the 3 mm position as an edge-to-edge position. RESULTS The occlusal contact pattern in the 0.5 mm position showed a marked prevalence of posterior tooth contacts on the working and the non-working sides, compared with the 1, 2 and 3 mm positions. The occlusal contact pattern in the 3 mm position predicted the presence or absence of the occlusal contact in the 1 and 2 mm positions (sensitivity > 0.7) but not in the 0.5 mm position (sensitivity < 0.6). CONCLUSION The occlusal contact patterns during lateral movement varied greatly with mandibular positions. The examination method of the occlusal contact pattern in one unregulated position will be invalid. It is necessary to distinguish the occlusal contact patterns between a position close to the maximum intercuspation and an edge-to-edge position when investigating its role in the masticatory system and in oral disease.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The concept of canine protection and group function lack consistency in the definitions and examining methods, and a valid system for evaluating and classifying occlusal contact patterns has not been established. PURPOSE This study assessed the use of canine protection and group function in classifying occlusal guidance in the natural dentition. MATERIAL AND METHODS Occlusal contacts of 86 young adults were examined with shim stock in regulated lateral positions, 0.5,1,2 and 3 mm from the maximum intercuspation. The patterns of occlusal contacts varying with the lateral position were described. RESULTS Focusing on the working-side contact only, most contact patterns belonged to group function, and a few to canine protection. Focusing on both the working and nonworking side contacts, nearly half the contact patterns were those other than canine protection and group function and were classified into balanced occlusion. CONCLUSION The validity of the classification system using canine protection and group function is questionable. A new classification system of occlusal guidance is desirable.

Abstract
Using the mouth as an "in vivo articulator," the bilateral nonmasticatory ("empty") contact patterns of opposing cuspid and first molar teeth were determined in two healthy subjects with well-defined cuspid function and two healthy subjects with well-defined group function. The electronically recorded "empty" contact patterns pertained to the static intercuspal position and dynamic laterotrusion to the right and the left. On the basis of the "empty" tooth contact patterns and the number of electronically recorded masticatory cycles of one masticatory sequence, we postulated two simple models that attempted to predict the masticatory ("functional") tooth contacts of one sequence of unilateral mastication of apple and banana. Statistical comparisons between the predictions of the two models and the actual ("functional") contacts of in vivo mastication showed that the models predicted fairly well the observed tooth contacts on the nonchewing-side of the mouth, but not the observed tooth contacts on the chewing-side of the mouth. In consequence, "empty" (nonmasticatory) tooth contact patterns should not be equated with "functional" (masticatory) tooth contact patterns.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint alterations have been associated with abnormal mandibular movements in the open/close cycles and in the laterotrusive border movements. The quantitative analysis of these movements could allow a better or earlier diagnosis for patients and offer some insight into the pathophysiology of the disorder. Maximum opening and mandibular laterotrusive border movements were studied and measured in a group of 165 patients with a considerable lateral deviation (equal to or greater than 5mm) in maximum opening. Movements were directly performed by the patients and recorded with a mandibular kinesiography. The slope of the lateral guidance (frontal plane projection) was measured in the first millimeters of motion and started from the maximum intercuspal position. On average, slopes were significantly flatter on the same side with the opening deviation. These slopes were significantly flatter than previously published physiologic ranges, whereas contralateral slopes were similar to normal references. The results may be explained by a correlation between the insufficient lateral protection and a temporomandibular mandibular joint dysfunction (ipsilateral low mobility).

Abstract
Tooth contact in mediotrusion as well as the signs and symptoms of periodontal and mandibular dysfunction were recorded in healthy patients aged between 20 and 31 with Angle class I or II. Non-functional side contact (NFSC) was found in 94% of the patients, indicating that it is a common phenomenon. In cases of NFSC, the entire range of movement, and not only the final stage of tip-to-tip contact on the working side, should be recorded. Slight positive mobility with tooth faceting, as compared to the adjacent and contralateral teeth, was observed in 56 patients. There was no correlation between mediotrusion and mandibular dysfunction. The cumulative effects of NFSC are not well documented, and longitudinal follow-up studies should be carried out to clarify these.

Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of occlusal disharmonies requires an understanding of the variables that affect occluding tooth contacts. Quantitative recordings of tooth contacts and near tooth contacts are necessary for detailed analysis of occlusion. In this study, different thicknesses of registration strips were used to assess the influence of occlusal force and mandibular position on tooth contacts and clearance. This assessment was made for nonworking side molars and working side premolars. There was a significant decrease in clearance with increased occlusal force on both the nonworking and the working sides. A significant increase of clearance was noted as the mandible moved to the most lateral position on the nonworking side. These results indicate that the variables of occlusal force and mandibular position represent potential sources of disparity in the recording of tooth contacts. These variables should be considered when occlusal examination procedures are conducted.

Abstract
In spite of differences in embryologic origin, central nervous organization, and muscle fiber distribution, the physiology and action of mandibular elevator muscles are comparable to those of skeletal muscles of the limbs, back, and shoulder. They also share the same age-, sex-, and activity-related variations of muscular strength. With respect to pathogenesis, the type of muscular performance associated with the development of fatigue, discomfort, and pain in mandibular elevators seems to be influenced by the dental occlusion. Clinical research comparing the extent of occlusal contact in patients and controls as well as epidemiologic studies have shown reduced occlusal support to be a risk factor in the development of craniomandibular disorders. In healthy subjects with full natural dentition, occlusal support in the intercuspal position generally amounts to 12-14 pairs of contacting teeth, with predominance of contact on first and second molars. The extent of occlusal contact clearly affects electric muscle activity, bite force, jaw movements, and masticatory efficiency. Neurophysiologic evidence of receptor activity and reflex interaction with the basic motor programs of craniomandibular muscles tends to indicate that the peripheral occlusal control of the elevator muscles is provided by feedback from periodontal pressoreceptors. With stable intercuspal support, especially from posterior teeth, elevator muscles are activated strongly during biting and chewing with a high degree of force and masticatory efficiency, and with relatively short contractions, allowing for pauses. These variables of muscle contraction seem, in general, to strengthen the muscles and prevent discomfort. Therefore, occlusal stability keeps the muscles fit, and enables the masticatory system to meet its functional demands.

Abstract
Correlations between facial morphology and tooth contacts in excursive mandibular positions were studied in 75 men aged 20 to 33 years. The morphology of the dentition was verified on dental casts and the face was measured by use of roentgen cephalometry. No correlation was observed between facial morphology and the number of tooth contacts in the retruded position; however, wide dental arches and jaws displayed many contacts on protrusion. Numerous contacts on the functional side in group function were noted in individuals with a facial morphology associated with distal occlusion, such as Angle class II, division 1. Wide dental arches were associated with multiple functional-side contacts whereas tooth contacts on the nonfunctional side were related to the inclination of the mandible. A "long-face" morphology was related to contacts on the nonfunctional side. There was a negative correlation between the extent of the overbite (vertical overlap) and the number of tooth contacts on the nonfunctional side.
