Summary

Dental treatment often relies on theories, not evidence. This article explains how to differentiate normal occlusion from pathologic occlusion needing treatment using signs, symptoms, and diagnostic criteria.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Science
  • Occlusion Theory
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Current dental treatment concepts often lack a strong scientific evidence base.
  • Preconceived notions of a 'normal' state guide many dental interventions.
  • Reliance on clinical observation and theory over empirical data is common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present various theories of occlusion.
  • To outline diagnostic characteristics differentiating physiologic from pathologic occlusion.
  • To provide guidelines for reconstructive occlusal therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing occlusion theories.
  • Analysis of diagnostic signs and symptoms for occlusal assessment.
  • Development of criteria for guiding reconstructive occlusal therapy.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key differences between physiologic and pathologic occlusion.
  • Establishment of diagnostic markers for occlusal pathology.
  • Framework for evidence-based reconstructive occlusal therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Distinguishing between physiologic and pathologic occlusion is crucial for effective dental treatment.
  • Diagnostic evaluation of signs and symptoms should precede treatment planning.
  • Guidelines for reconstructive occlusal therapy can improve treatment outcomes.
