| Abstract | |
Most restoration and prosthesis involve the occlusal surfaces of maxillary and mandibular teeth and necessitate functional contact relationships restored in harmony with both dynamic and static conditions. Unfortunately, the occlusion of teeth is frequently overlooked or taken for granted during various restorative procedures. This may be due to the fact that the symptoms of occlusal diseases are often hidden from the clinician not trained to recognize them or appreciate their significance. The aim of this article is to provide basic knowledge to the beginners to diagnose and treat simple occlusal disharmonies, and avoid the creation of iatrogenic occlusal diseases. |
