Occlusal objectives in orthodontic treatment.

R B Aubrey

    American Journal of Orthodontics
    |August 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Preventing temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome in orthodontic patients involves ensuring centric relation occlusion and performing occlusal adjustments. This approach aims to eliminate interferences and protect the jaw joint post-treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

    Background:

    • Postorthodontic patients not in centric relation with occlusal interferences are at risk for temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome.
    • Current diagnostic and treatment approaches may not adequately address the prevention of this syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a method for preventing temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome in postorthodontic patients.
    • To emphasize the importance of terminal hinge position manipulation and occlusal adjustments.

    Main Methods:

    • Manipulate the mandible to the terminal hinge position at each visit, diagnosing from this position.
    • Ensure final occlusion is in centric relation.
    • Equilibrate occlusion to eliminate all occlusal interferences.

    Main Results:

    • Treating to centric relation and performing occlusal equilibration can effectively manage occlusal interferences.
    • Cases treated to centric relation can be equilibrated without an articulator.

    Conclusions:

    • A treatment concept focused on fitting occlusion to the jaw mechanism can virtually eliminate temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome in postorthodontic patients.
    • Proactive occlusal management is key to preventing long-term temporomandibular joint issues.
