Occlusion and the Potential Effects of Occlusal Interferences on Patients

Every restoration, extraction, prosthetic device and orthodontic treatment changes the static and dynamic occlusion. Smallest occlusal interferences of just a few microns, are disruptive for the proprioreceptors of the stomatological system. This can cause bruxism (clenching or grinding), which can result in functional disorder of the cranio mandible system. Overstraining of teeth, periodontium, muscles and…
