About This Book
A robust and accessible resource on occlusion for general dental practitioners
Practical Procedures in Dental Occlusion delivers a solid and reliable exploration of dental occlusion. The book offers practical and accessible information about evidence-based techniques applicable to everyday clinical situations encountered in general practice.
The authors provide a straightforward guide to the optimisation of restorative treatment outcomes, including occlusion in simple and advanced restorative care. The inclusion of questions at the end of the book, a glossary of useful terms and phrases in occlusion encourages self-assessment.
Readers will also find:
- Thorough introductions to common prosthodontic terms, neuromuscular philosophies, and the equipment and techniques used in occlusal examination
- Practical explorations of typical problems faced by practitioners when recording occlusal contacts using different articulating papers
- Overviews of "high crown" clinical scenarios, including the importance of opposing alginate impressions and cast mounting
- An insightful treatment of the clinical scenario of a fractured upper central incisor composite restoration
Perfect for undergraduate dental students and general dental practitioners, Practical Procedures in Dental Occlusion is a valuable resource for those seeking a systematic and logical treatment of the management of occlusal problems.

and
Practical
Tips
This
is
a
metal
foil
for
occlusal
testing
(thickness = 8
μ
m)
(Figure 3.2).
It
is
used
as
a
feeler
gauge
between
occluding
teeth
to
check
firmness
of
occlusal
contacts
in
comparison
with
those
on
the
selected
index
teeth.
When
you
fit
a
crown,
both
restoration
and
adjacent
teeth
should
hold
the
shimstock
firmly
in
intercuspal
position
(ICP).
Shimstock
can
also
be
used
to
ensure
the
accuracy
of
the
mounting
of
the
models.
This
can
be
checked
with
shimstock
such
that
the
intraoral
contacts
and
those
on
the

(Figure 3.3).
●
Anterior
teeth
often
have
light
shimstock
contacts
which
should
be
kept
light
after
restoration.
●
Shimstock
contacts
that
are
obviously
firmer
than
the
adjacent
teeth
usually
indicate
heavy
occlusal
loading.
