Dental Occlusion
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Dental Occlusion'The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.

Change of lip-line cant after 1-jaw orthognathic surgery in patients with mandibular asymmetry.
29 Sep 2009 
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of lip-line cant (LLC) after 1-jaw orthognathic surgery in mandibular asymmetry patients. METHODS: Preoperative and postoperative data of 22 patients having 1-jaw orthognathic ... Read more...
Effects of preoperative ibuprofen on pain after separator placement.
29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Many patients experience pain with orthodontics, but there is no widely accepted standard of care for controlling orthodontic pain. Previous studies were inconclusive as to the most effective way to manage orthodontic pain. The purpose ... Read more...
Technical note: Occlusal fingerprint analysis: quantification of tooth wear pattern.
30 Jul 2009 Information about food ingestion and mastication behavior during the lifespan of an individual is encoded in the dental occlusal wear pattern. To decode this information, we describe a new method called occlusal fingerprint analysis (OFA). ... Read more...
