INTRODUCTION

Occlusion has been an important consideration in orthodontics.

Orthopedic stability in the masticatory structures should be a treatment goal to

help reduce risk factors associated with developing temporomandibular

disorders.

Change of occlusal conditions will influence masticatory functions during

orthodontic therapy.

HISTORY
Joseph Fox , 1803, first to classify malocclusion.
1st book on malocclusion by Kneisel in 1836.
Gilford coined the term malocclusion.
In 1890, Dr. E.H. Angle gave concept of occlusion in orthodontics.

History of Orthodontics by Andrews I


HISTORY OF OCCLUSION AND TMD IN
ORTHODONTICS

The history of orthodontics must begin with the work of Dr Edward Angle,
considered the father of this specialty.
He divided the occlusion into 3 types:
normal, or Angle Class I;
a retrognathic jaw, or Angle Class II; and
a prognathic jaw, or Angle Class III.

Evolution of occlusion and temporomandibular


disorder in orthodontics: Past, present, and
CONCEPT OF OCCLUSION
The key to occlusion is the relative position of
the first molars.
In normal occlusion the mesio-buccal cusp of
the upper first molar is received in the sulcus
between the mesial and distal buccal cusps of
the lower.

Classification of Malocclusion. [Volume: 41, Issue: 3, March, 1899, pp. 248-


264]
LINE OF OCCLUSION
When the teeth are in normal occlusion the line of
greatest occlusal contact.
The mesial and distal inclined planes of the buccal
cusps of the molars and bicuspids.
The cutting-edges of the cuspids and incisors of
the lower arch.

Classification of Malocclusion. [Volume: 41, Issue: 3, March, 1899, pp. 248-


264]
CLASSIFICATION OF MALOCCLUSION

CLASS 1:
Relative position of the dental arches,
mesiodistally, normal, with first molars usually in
normal occlusion,
although one or more may be in lingual or buccal
occlusion.

Classification of Malocclusion. [Volume: 41, Issue: 3, March, 1899, pp. 248-


264]
CLASSIFICATION OF
MALOCCLUSION
CLASS 2:
Relative mesio-distal relations of the dental arches
abnormal; all the lower teeth occluding distal to
normal.

Classification of Malocclusion. [Volume: 41, Issue: 3, March, 1899, pp. 248-


264]
CLASS 2 MALOCCLUSION
1. The mesiobuccal cusp of the mandibular first molar
occludes in the central fossa area of the maxillary
first molar.
2. The mesiobuccal cusp of the mandibular first molar
is aligned with the buccal groove of the maxillary first
molar.

CLASS 2 DIVISION 1 MALOCCLUSION

The first division is characterized by

a narrowing of the upper arch,

lengthened and protruding upper incisors,

accompanied by abnormal function of the

lips and nasal obstruction

and mouth-breathing.

The second division is characterized by
less narrowing of the upper arch,
lingual inclination of the upper incisors, and
associated with normal nasal and lip function.

CLASS 3 MALOCCLUSION

1. The distobuccal cusp of the mandibular first


molar is situated in the embrasure between the
maxillary second premolar and first molar.

2. The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar


is situated over the embrasure between the
mandibular first and second molar.
3. The mesiolingual cusp of the maxillary first molar
is situated in the mesial pit of the mandibular
second molar.

One of the lateral halves only is in mesial
occlusion.
The other lateral half being normal.

ANDREWS 6 KEYS TO NORMAL OCCLUSION

• Andrews' Six Keys (1972) to normal (or optimal) are a widely quoted
set of static occlusal goals for tooth relationships in the intercuspal
position:
1. Correct interarch relationships
2. Correct crown angulation (tip)
3. Correct crown inclination (torque)
4. No rotations
5. Tight contact points
6. Flat curve of Spee (0.0 - 2.5 mm)
7. Correct tooth size (Bennett & McLaughlin, 1993)

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 1 - Interach Relationships
- The distal surface of the distal marginal ridge of the upper first permanent molar contacts
and occludes with the mesial surface of the mesial marginal ridge of the lower second molar.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 1 - Interach Relationships

The mesio-buccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar falls within the
groove between the mesial and middle cusps of the lower first
permanent molar.
The mesio-lingual cusp of the upper first molar seats in the central fossa
of the lower first.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 1 - Interach Relationships
The premolars enjoy a cusp-embrasure relationship buccally, and a cusp
fossa relationship lingually.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 1 - Interach Relationships
- Maxillary Canine has a cusp-embrasure relationship with Mandibular
Canine & 1st Premolar. The cusp tip is slightly mesial to embrasure
Maxillary Incisors overlap Mandibular Incisors & midlines of arches match.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 2 - Crown Angulation Relation
Crown angulation (tip) Facial axis of the clinical crown (FACC) Best viewed
from the labial or buccal perspective.
For all teeth except molars, is located at the mid developmental ridge
that runs vertically and is the most prominent portion in the central area
of the labial or buccal surface.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 2 - Crown Angulation Relation
Crown Angulation or Crown tip. The degree of crown tip is the angle formed by
the FACC and a line perpendicular to the occlusal plane.
A "+ reading" when the gingival portion of the FACC is distal to the incisal
portion.
A "- reading" when the gingival portion of the FACC is mesial to the incisal
portion.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 3 - Crown Inclination Relation
Crown inclination angle formed by a line which bears 90°to the occlusal
plane and FACC (as viewed from the mesial or distal).
A + reading is given if the gingival portion of the tangent line is lingual to
the incisal portion.
A - reading is recorded when the gingival portion of the tangent line is
labial to the incisal portion.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 4 - No Rotation
• Teeth should be free of undesirable rotations. Rotated molar, would
occupy more space than normal, creating a situation unreceptive to normal
occlusion.

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 5 - Tight Contacts

• Contact points should be tight contacts (no spaces).

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 6 -Flat Curve of Spee
• Occlusal plane (curve of spee), depth of curve of Spee ranges from flat
plane to slight concave surface (0- 2.5 mm).

The Six Keys to Normal


Occlusion
Nasir Alhamian
Key 7 - Correct tooth size (Bennett & McLaughlin,
1993)
Correct tooth size Bennett & McLaughlin.
If Andrews' non orthodontic models have shown tooth size discrepancy, it
would have resulted in either spacing or crowding in either of arches,
until compensated by tip & torque in anterior segment Prior to treatment
by Bolton analysis.

HISTORY OF OCCLUSION AND TMD IN
ORTHODONTICS

Role of joint position in jaw function ?


Dr. Ronald Roth began to write a series of article in the orthodontic literature
suggesting importance of joint positions in orthodontic therapy.

future
ROLE OF ORTHODONTIC
THERAPY IN TMD

A thorough review of the literature shows that there are at least 5 major
etiologic factors that can be associated with TMD:
occlusion
trauma
emotional stress
deep pain input and
parafunction.

There were claims of orthodontic therapy's always causing TMD.


But the data did not suggest that orthodontic therapy was a significant risk
factor for the development of symptoms of TMD.

ROLE OF ORTHODONTIC THERAPY
IN TMD

Perhaps poorly completed orthodontic therapies do reveal risk factors for

TMD.

Another consideration patients receiving the orthodontic therapy were

young, healthy, and adaptive.

Providing orthodontic therapy in a developing masticatory system may

help patients to adapt to the occlusal changes and joint positions.

CURRENT FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT GOALS FOR
ORTHODONTIC THERAPY

The most orthopedically stable joint position as dictated by the muscles


is where the condyles are located in their most superoanterior positions
in the articular fossae, resting against the posterior slopes of the
articular eminences.
The definition of the most orthopedically stable joint position is when the
condyles are in their most superoanterior positions in the articular
fossae, resting against the posterior slopes of the articular eminences,
with the articular discs properly interposed.-GPT 2023 10th edition.

CURRENT FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT GOALS FOR
ORTHODONTIC THERAPY
The major muscles that stabilize temporomandibular joints are the elevators:
temporalis, masseter, and medial pterygoid muscles.
These three muscles are primarily responsible for joint position and stability.

CURRENT FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT GOALS FOR
ORTHODONTIC THERAPY
The purpose of the articular disc is to separate, protect and stabilise the
condyle in mandibular fossa during functional movements.
Positional stability is determined by the muscle pull across the joint which
prevent separation of the articular surfaces.

(temporalis, masseter, and medial pterygoid) is to seat
the condyles

CURRENT FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT GOALS FOR
ORTHODONTIC THERAPY
Developing an orthopedically stable occlusal condition can minimise risk
factors of TMD.
Stable masticatory system includes stable occlusal position in harmony with
stable joint.
In establishing an orthopedically stable occlusal condition the anatomic
structures of TMJ should be closely examined.

Types of Mandibular Movements

Two types of movement occur in the TMJ:


rotational and
translational.
1. Rotational: Dorland's Medical Dictionary
defines rotation as "the process of turning
around its own axis”

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Okeson, DMD
Types of Mandibular Movements
Mandibular movement around the horizontal axis
is an opening and closing motion.
It is referred to as a hinge movement, and the
horizontal axis is referred to as the hinge axis.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Terminal hinge axis.
When the condyles are in their most superior position in the articular
fossae and the mouth is purely rotated open, the axis around which
movement occurs is called the terminal hinge axis.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Frontal (Vertical) Axis of Rotation
Mandibular movement around the frontal axis occurs when one condyle
moves anteriorly out of the terminal hinge position with the vertical axis of
the opposite condyle remaining in the terminal hinge position.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Sagittal Axis of Rotation
Mandibular movement around the sagittal axis occurs when one condyle
moves inferiorly while the other remains in the terminal hinge position.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Okeson, DMD
Translational Movement
Translation can be defined as a movement in which every point of the
moving object has simultaneously the same velocity and direction.
In the masticatory system, it occurs when the mandible moves forward,
as in protrusion.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Okeson, DMD
Sagittal Plane Border and Functional Movements

Mandibular motion viewed in the sagittal plane can be seen to have four
distinct movement components:
1. Posterior opening border
2. Anterior opening border
3. Superior contact border
4. Functional.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Okeson, DMD
Posterior Border Movements
Posterior opening border movements in the
sagittal plane occur as two-stage hinging
movements.
In the first stage the condyles are stabilized
in their most superior positions in the
terminal hinge position.
The mandible can be lowered(mouth
opening) in a pure rotational movement
without translation of the condyles.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Okeson, DMD
Anterior Border Movements
With the mandible maximally opened, closure accompanied by contraction
of the inferior lateral pterygoids (which keep the condyles positioned
anteriorly) will generate the anterior closing border movement.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Superior Contact Border Movements
• Fig.1 Common relationship of the teeth when the condyles are in the centric
relation position (CR).

• Fig.2 Force applied to the teeth when the condyles are in centric
relation (CR) will create a superoanterior shift of the mandible

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion 8TH EDITION Jeffrey P.


Superior Contact Border Movements
• Fig.3 As the mandible moves forward, contact of the incisal edges of the
edges of the mandibular anterior teeth with the lingual surfaces of the
maxillary anterior teeth creates an inferior movement.

Conclusions

Occlusion has been an important consideration in orthodontics.


Achieving orthopedically stable relationship between the occlusal position
and joint position is important.
It is important for proper masticatory function throughout patient lifetime.
Achieving these goals will most likely reduce patient risk for developing
TMD.
