The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice
|May 3, 2016
Summary
This systematic review evaluates the impact of various lateral occlusion schemes in prosthodontics. Findings are crucial for optimizing dental restoration outcomes and patient function.
Area of Science:
- Prosthodontics
- Dental Occlusion
- Systematic Reviews
Background:
- Lateral occlusion is a critical factor in complete denture stability and function.
- Understanding the impact of different occlusion schemes is essential for effective prosthodontic treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and synthesize the existing literature on the impact of lateral occlusion schemes.
- To provide evidence-based insights into the effects of different occlusal designs on prosthodontic outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive systematic review of relevant studies was conducted.
- Literature search included databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.
Main Results:
- The review identified varying impacts of different lateral occlusion schemes on factors such as stability, chewing efficiency, and patient satisfaction.
- Specific schemes demonstrated advantages in certain clinical scenarios, while others showed limitations.
Conclusions:
- The choice of lateral occlusion scheme significantly influences the success of prosthodontic rehabilitation.
- Further research is recommended to establish definitive guidelines for optimal lateral occlusion schemes in complete dentures.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:30Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Surface, Infiltration, and Conduction Block Anesthesia
2.5K
Depending on the target organ, local anesthetics (LAs) can be administered via various routes. In surface anesthesia, LAs are applied directly to the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. It is widely used for topical skin numbing before venipuncture or minor surgical procedures. Commonly used surface local anesthetics are lidocaine or benzocaine sprays or creams. Surface anesthesia occurs within 5 minutes and lasts for about 60 minutes. One of the main disadvantages of topical anesthesia is...

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.6K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
