Determining the occlusal plane is crucial for restorative dentistry success. Using the Broadrick flag on a semi-adjustable articulator simplifies achieving an ideal occlusal plane, minimizing patient issues.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • The occlusal plane significantly impacts the success of dental restorations.
  • Posterior occlusal interferences can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, muscle pain, and dental problems.
  • Accurate occlusal plane determination is essential for predictable restorative outcomes.

Observation:

  • Monson's theory provides a foundational concept but requires clinical adaptation.
  • Individual patient anatomy and mandibular incisor positioning necessitate personalized occlusal plane analysis.
  • The Broadrick flag, used with semi-adjustable articulators, offers a practical method for determining the ideal occlusal plane.

Findings:

  • The Broadrick flag, when used on semi-adjustable articulators, facilitates easy and accurate determination of the occlusal plane.

  • This method helps minimize posterior occlusal interferences in dental reconstructions.
  • Adaptability to various articulator systems (Hanau, Denar, Jensen, Kavo) enhances its clinical utility.

    • Implications:

    • Proper occlusal plane determination reduces the incidence of dental, muscular, and TMJ-related complications.
    • Integrating the Broadrick flag into practice can improve the predictability and longevity of restorative cases.
    • Dentists and laboratory technicians can enhance patient care through consistent application of this technique.
