occlusion

Any contact between the incising or masticatory surfaces of maxillary and mandibular teeth.GPT

Periodontal tissues

In natural occlusion,the teeth are retained by periodontal tissues In artificial occlusion, all the teeth are on bases seated on slippery tissues.

Occlusal pressure

In natural occlusion, teeth receive individual pressure and can move independentely.

In artificial occlusion, they move as a unit on their base

malocclusion

In natural occlusion, may be uneventful.

In artificial occlusion, evokes an immediate response and involves all of the teeth and the base

Nonvertical forces

In natural occlusion, affect only the teeth involved and are usually well tolerated. In artificial occlusion, the effect involves all of the teeth on the base. It is usually traumatic to the supporting structures.

Incising

In natural occlusion, does not affect the posterior teeth.

In artificial occlusion, affects all of the teeth on the base.

The favored area for masticating hard food

The second molar region, in natural occlusion in artificial occlusion, Heavy pressures of mastication in the second molar region with the will tilt the base .

Bilateral balance

In natural occlusion, its rarely found; if present it is considered balancing side interference In artificial occlusion, its considered necessary for base stability.

properioception

In natural occlusion, gives the neuromuscular system control during function In artificial occlusion, not present and the mandible in function will end its chewing stroke in the most favorable physiologic position, which is very close to centric relation

54%- CLASS ONE IN STATIC OCCLUSION. 78% -CANINE GUIDED OCCLUSION IN DYNAMIC OCCLUSION.

The relationship between static and dynamic occlusion.

Conclusion

The above difference make it necessary to consider occlusion for complete denture as a special problem with different requirements if it is to function efficiently with the least amount of trauma to the supporting tissue.
