21Occlusion (dentistry) — Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest.… …
22Maximum intercuspation — Models of human teeth in maximum intercuspation. The models are transparent to allow the viewer to perceive the roots of the teeth as they reside naturally within the alveolar bone. In dentistry, maximum intercuspation refers to the occlusal… …
23Vertical dimension of occlusion — A patient prepared for measurement of VDO. Two stickers have been affixed to her face in order to establish the distance between the dots drawn on the stickers when her mandible is in a position that matches her VDO. Because this patient is… …
24Centric relation — In dentistry, centric relation is the mandibular jaw position in which the head of the condyle is situated as far anterior and superior as it possibly can within the mandibular fossa/glenoid fossa. This position is used when restoring edentulous… …
25Crown-to-root ratio — This X ray film reveals a poor crown to root ratio for tooth #21 (right), the lower left first premolar. The tooth exhibits 50% bone loss, adding roughly 5 7 mm to the clinical crown of what is actually anatomical root. The fulcrum, existing… …
26Dahl effect — The Dahl effect or Dahl concept is a concept used in dentistry where changes are planned in the occlusion of the dentition. Dahl first described this phenomenon: a Dahl appliance uses an anterior bite plane to increase the available interocclusal …
27Diagnostic wax-up — An idealized diagnostic wax up for a partially edentulous maxilla. In dentistry, diagnostic wax up is used to visualize the results of a prosthetic case prior to the treatment being executed. References …
28Masticatory force — or force of mastication is defined as a force, which is created by the dynamic action of the masticatory muscles during the physiological act of chewing. Contents 1 Masticatory muscles 2 Measuring masticatory force …
29Nankali's Masticatory Force Systematization — The Nankali’s systematization of distribution of the Masticatory Force categorize the locations of the forces on different part of mandible/Maxilla, which are important in designing a prosthetic and implant treatment in dentistry. The… …
