  2. Occlusion (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_(dentistry)

    Occlusion is a fundamental concept in dentistry yet it is commonly overlooked as it's perceived as being not important or too difficult to teach and understand. Clinicians should have a sound understanding of the principles regarding occlusal harmony in order to be able to recognise and treat common problems associated with occlusal disharmony.

  3. Orthodontic indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_indices

    Class I: The molar relationship of the occlusion is normal or as described for the maxillary first molar, with malocclusion confined to anterior teeth [4] Class II : The retrusion of the lower jaw with distal occlusion of the lower teeth (or in other words, the maxillary first molar occludes anterior to the buccal groove of the mandibular first ...

  4. Posselt's envelope of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posselt's_Envelope_of_Motion

    Intercuspal position (ICP), also known as centric occlusion, is a position in which teeth occlusion plays an important role. In the majority of population, centric occlusion is said to be averagely 1 mm anterior to centric relation in the natural dentition. [5]

  5. Malocclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malocclusion

    Class I with severe crowding and labially erupted canines Class II molar relationship Edward Angle , who is considered the father of modern orthodontics, was the first to classify malocclusion. He based his classifications on the relative position of the maxillary first molar . [ 33 ]

  6. Complete denture occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_denture_occlusion

    Lingualized occlusion is defined as a form of denture occlusion that articulates the maxillary lingual cusps with the mandibular occlusal surfaces in centric, working, and non-working mandibular positions. [1] The concept of lingualized occlusion was again influenced by Gysi, when he designed a crossbite posterior teeth model concept. [8]

  7. Maximum intercuspation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_intercuspation

    This is an important jaw position, as it defines both the anterior-posterior and lateral relationships of the mandible and the maxilla, as well as the superior-inferior relationship known as the vertical dimension of occlusion. These are important considerations in orthodontic treatment as well as for dental prostheses and their design and use.

  8. Vertical dimension of occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Vertical_dimension_of_occlusion

    Vertical dimension of occlusion, or VDO, also known as occlusal vertical dimension (OVD), is a term used in dentistry to indicate the superior-inferior relationship of the maxilla and the mandible when the teeth are occluded in maximum intercuspation.

    In 2008, Carl Malamud published title 24 of the CCR, the California Building Standards Code, on Public.Resource.Org for free, even though the OAL claims publishing regulations with the force of law without relevant permissions is unlawful. [2] In March 2012, Malamud published the rest of the CCR on law.resource.org. [3]
