E-Book Description
This book acknowledges the importance of adopting a clinical approach to understanding occlusion, which can be a difficult subject to understand. We all know it is there and important, but, as it is difficult to visualise, it can sometimes be hard to appreciate this importance. Dentists, whatever their background, will have different perspectives as to how occlusion affects their clinical practice. The authors, a general practitioner (AN), a restorative consultant (FSN) and two senior
academics (JGS and RWW), have integrated their knowledge and experience to emphasise the common ground. To keep the book a manageable size we have restricted its scope to teeth, implants and fixed restorations.
Rather than start with some dry definitions, we have considered a number of situations in which the occlusion causes damage to teeth or restorations: damage that is invariably caused by occlusal instability or parafunction, or both. For all of the theoretical occlusal concepts that have been written about over the years, damage
from occlusion is what actually matters. In many cases this is iatrogenic. A good dentist needs to know how to detect, treat and avoid such problems.
