    Each tooth can be described as having a mesial surface and, for posterior teeth, a mesiobuccal (MB) and a mesiolingual (ML) corner or cusp. [1] An occlusal view of a complete maxillary denture. The green line, indicating the dental midline, is the defining line when it comes to mesial-distal direction. The blue arrow, which indicates a mesial ...

  3. Inlays and onlays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlays_and_onlays

    Inlays and Onlays are contraindicated in patients with parafunctional habits and heavy occlusal forces. [citation needed] A Parafunctional habit refers to abnormal functioning of oral structures and associated muscles, for example patients who clench or grind their teeth. Occlusal forces are greater on molars when compared to premolars.

  4. Complete denture occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_denture_occlusion

    When exploring different complete denture occlusal schemes, it is more useful to define occlusion as the relative movement of one object to another viz the dynamic relationship between mandible to the maxillae during function. Bilateral balanced occlusion and non-balanced occlusion are two separate entities that make up complete denture occlusion.

  5. Orthodontic indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_indices

    Each tooth is examined from two different aspects: occlusal aspect and then the buccal and labial surfaces with the exclusion of third molars. Tooth that is not in perfect occlusion from both occlusal aspect (in perfect alignment with contact line) and buccal aspect (in perfect alignment with plane of occlusion and in correct interdigitation ...

    The mesial part is that which is towards the incisors. The suffix " -flexus / -flexid " (upper molar / lower molar) is used for the open valleys in the occlusal surfaces of the hypsodont teeth. When this valleys are enclosed, they are called fossetes/fossetids (upper molar / lower molar).

Anterior oblique occlusal mandible – 45° Technique: the collimator is positioned in the midline, thru the chin aiming an angle of 45° to the image receptor which is placed centrally into the mouth, on to the occlusal surface of the lower arch. Indications:

  9. Premolar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premolar

    Premolars are unique to the permanent dentition. Premolars are referred to as bicuspid (has two main cusps), a buccal and a palatal/lingual cusp which are separated by a mesiodistal occlusal fissure. The maxillary premolars are trapezoidal in shape. Whilst the mandibular premolars are rhomboidal in shape.
