Bite registration is a technique carried out in dental procedures, where an impression is taken of the teeth while biting together, to capture the way they meet together in a bite. This process is crucial for creating dental restorations, such as crowns , bridges , and dentures , as well as for diagnosing and treating bite-related issues like ...
As the primary (baby) teeth begin to erupt at 6 months of age, the maxillary and mandibular teeth aim to occlude with one another. The erupting teeth are moulded into position by the tongue, the cheeks and lips during development. Upper and lower primary teeth should be correctly occluding and aligned after 2 years whilst they are continuing to ...
Impression paste is traditionally used to take the working (secondary) impressions for a complete denture. When used with a special tray it requires 1 mm of spacing to allow for enough thickness of the material; this is also termed a close fitting special tray. [2] It is available as a two-paste system: Base paste: zinc oxide; Catalyst paste ...
Maxillary and mandibular record bases with notched wax rims. Wax rims are devices that are used in dentistry to help in the fabrication of removable prostheses, such as complete and partial dentures.
An open bite malocclusion is when the upper teeth don't overlap the lower teeth. When this malocclusion occurs at the front teeth it is known as anterior open bite. An open bite is difficult to treat due to multifactorial causes, with relapse being a major concern. This is particularly so for an anterior open bite. [58]

Occlusion (dentistry), the manner in which the upper and lower teeth come together when the mouth is closed Occlusion miliaria, a skin condition; Occlusive dressing, an air- and water-tight trauma dressing used in first aid
Bilateral balanced occlusion and non-balanced occlusion are two separate entities that make up complete denture occlusion. Bilateral balanced occlusion is observed when simultaneous contacts achieved in both centric and eccentric positions. Non-balanced occlusion is seen when teeth do not occlude in simultaneous contacts.
