• Peter E. Dawson stated, ”Patient lose their
teeth in two ways: either the teeth break
down, other supporting structures break
down”

5. INTRODUCTION
• Occlusion is such an important word in
Prosthodontics, that in the bible of
Prosthodontics, GLOSSARY OF PROSTHODONTICS
TERMS, when searched in its soft copy version, it
is repeated for no less than 60 times.
• Occlusion
– 1: the act or process of closure or of being
closed or shut off
– 2: the static relationship between the incising
or masticating surfaces of the maxillary or
mandibular teeth or tooth analogues
The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, 8th Edition J Prosthet Dent 2005;81:63.

• Articulation
– The static and dynamic contact relationship
between the occlusal surfaces of the teeth during
function.

OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES 6/109
7. INTRODUCTION
• The contact of the maxillary and mandibular
teeth in various functional (mandibular)
movements is an important relationship that
should NOT be traumatic to the supporting
tissues and should allow an even load
distribution throughout the dental arch.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES 7/109
8. Terminologies
• CENTRIC RELATION
– the maxillomandibular relationship in which the
condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular
portion of their respective disks with the complex
in the anterior-superior position against the shapes
of the articular eminencies.
– This position is independent of tooth contact.
– This position is clinically discernible when the
mandible is directed superior and anteriorly.
– It is restricted to a purely rotary movement about
the transverse horizontal axis (GPT-5)
The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, 8th Edition J Prosthet Dent 2005;81:63.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES

9. Terminologies
• MAXIMUM INTERCUSPAL POSITION (MI)
– The complete intercuspation of the opposing teeth
independent of condylar position, sometimes
referred to as the best fit of the teeth regardless of
the condylar position—called also maximal
intercuspation
The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, 8th Edition J Prosthet Dent 2005;81:63.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
9/109
10. Terminologies
• Centric Occlusion
– The occlusion of
opposing teeth
when the
mandible is in
centric relation.
This may or may
not coincide with
the maximal
intercuspal
position.
The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, 8th Edition J Prosthet Dent 2005;81:63.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
10/109
11. Points To Clear
– It is clear from the definitions that in natural
dentition, MI position need not coincide with CR.
– When fixed and removable prosthesis are
fabricated with existing natural teeth, they may be
made to coincide with the existing normal MI
position, if sufficient natural teeth are present to
guide the occlusion.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
11/109
12. Points To Clear
– MI position is made to coincide with CR only when
there are insufficient occlusal contacts existing to
guide the occlusion.
– This is different from complete dentures where MI
position is given at CR.

13. IDEAL OCCLUSION
• Ideal occlusion can be defined as an occlusion
which is compatible with stomatognathic
system providing efficient mastication and
good esthetics without creating physiologic
abnormalities.
Hobo(1978)
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
13/109
14. IDEAL OCCLUSION
– Characteristics
• Stable Posterior contact with vertically directed
resultant forces.
• MIP coincident with CR along with freedom in centric.
• No posterior contact in ecentric mandibular
movements.
• Contact of anterior teeth in harmony with functional
jaw movement.
• Occlusion in Angle’s Class I
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
14/109
15. IDEAL OCCLUSION
– Angle’s Class I
– If the mesiobuccal cusp of
the maxillary first molar is
aligned with the buccal grove
of the mandibular 1st molar.
– Orthodontic textbooks have
traditionally described an
arbitrary 2 mm for horizontal
overlap and vertical overlap
as being ideal.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
15/109
16. IDEAL OCCLUSION
– For most patients, however,
greater vertical over lap is
desirable, to prevent
undesirable posterior contact
as a result of flexing of the
mandible during mastication

17. IDEAL OCCLUSION
– Importance of Ideal Occlusion
• Use it as a benchmark for assessment of pre-
treatment records and examination (diagnostic cast).
• Correcting TMD and occlusal interferences (if they
exist) before commencing restorative procedures.
• For final prosthodontic rehabilitation - to accomplish
this a confirmative approach (where patients
pretreatment occlusion is retained for the
prosthodontic rehabilitation), or a reorganized
approach (where a change in occlusal scheme is
planned) is utilizied.

19. Concepts of Occlusion
• These can be categorized as
– Bilaterally Balanced Occlusion, 3°
– Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion, and
– Mutually protected Occlusion.
• However, since restorative treatment
requirements vary, the clinician should
understand possible combinations of occlusal
schemes and their advantages, disadvantages,
and indications.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
19/109
23. Bilaterally Balanced Occlusion
• FERDINAND GRAF SPEE was one of the earliest
proposed theories -Bilateral Balanced
Occlusion.
Definition
• The bilateral, simultaneous, anterior, and
posterior occlusal contact of teeth in centric
and eccentric positions
The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, 8th Edition J Prosthet Dent 2005;81:63.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
23/109
24. Bilaterally Balanced Occlusion
• In complete denture fabrication, this tooth
arrangement helps maintain denture stability
because the nonworking contact prevents the
denture from being dislodged.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
24/109
25. Bilaterally Balanced Occlusion
• However, as the principles of bilateral balance
were applied to the natural dentition and in
fixed prosthodontics, it proved to be
extremely difficult to accomplish, even with
great attention to detail and sophisticated
articulators.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
25/109
26. Bilaterally Balanced Occlusion
• In addition, high rates of failure resulted.
• An increased rate of occlusal wear, increased or
accelerated periodontal breakdown, and
neuromuscular disturbances were commonly
observed.
• The last were often relieved when posterior
contacts on the mediotrusive (NON-WORKING)
side were eliminated in an attempt to eliminate
unfavorable loading. Thus the concept of a
unilaterally balanced occlusion (group function)
evolved.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
26/109
27. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• It is based on Schyler’s Concept
Definition:-
Multiple contact relations between
maxillary and mandibular teeth, in lateral
movements on the working side, whereby
simultaneous contact of several teeth acts as a
Group to distribute occlusal forces
The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, 8th Edition J Prosthet Dent 2005;81:63.
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
27/109
28. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• In a unilaterally balanced articulation,
excursive contact occurs between all opposing
posterior teeth on the laterotrusive (working)
side only. On the mediotrusive (nonworking)
side, no contact occurs until the mandible has
reached centric relation.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
28/109
30. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• Thus, in this occlusal arrangement the load is
distributed among the periodontal support of
all posterior teeth on the working side. This
can be advantageous if, for instance, the
periodontal support of the canine is
compromised.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
30/109
31. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• While on the working side, occlusal load is
distributed during excursive movement, and
the posterior teeth on the non- working side
do not contact.
• In the protrusive movement, no posterior
tooth contact occurs.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144

32. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• While on the working side, occlusal load is
distributed during excursive movement, and
the posterior teeth on the non- working side
do not contact.
• In the protrusive movement, no posterior
tooth contact occurs.

33. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• Long Centric (Freedom in centric)
– As the concept of unilateral balance evolved, it was
suggested that allowing some freedom of movement
in an anteroposterior direction is advantageous. This
concept is known as long centric.
– Schuyler was one of the first to advocate such an
occlusal arrangement.
– He thought that it was important for the posterior
teeth to be in harmonious gliding contact when the
mandible translates from centric relation forward to
make anterior tooth contact.
Rosenstiel SF, Land MF, Fujimoto J. Contemporary fixed prosthodontics.
3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
33/109
34. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• Long Centric.
– Others have advocated long centric because
centric relation only rarely coincides with the
maximum intercuspation position in healthy
natural dentitions.
– However, its length is arbitrary. At given vertical
dimensions, long centric ranges from 0.5 to 1.5
mm in length have been advocated.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
34/109
35. Unilaterally Balanced Occlusion
(GROUP FUNCTION)
• Long Centric.
– This theory presupposes that the condyles can
translate horizontally in the fossae over a
commensurate trajectory before beginning to
move downward.
– It also necessitates a greater horizontal space
between the maxillary and mandibular anterior
teeth (deeper lingual concavity), allowing
horizontal movement before posterior
disocclusion.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144

36. Mutually Protected Occlusion
• During the early 1960s, an occlusal scheme called
mutually protected occlusion was advocated by
Stuart and Stallard, based on earlier work by
D'Amico.
• In this arrangement, centric relation coincides
with the maximum intercuspation position.
• The six anterior maxillary teeth, together with the
six anterior mandibular teeth, guide excursive
movements of the mandible, and no posterior
occlusal contacts occur during any lateral or
protrusive excursions

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
36/109
38. Mutually Protected Occlusion
• The relationship of the anterior teeth, or
anterior guidance, is critical to the success of
this occlusal scheme.
• In a mutually protected occlusion, the
posterior teeth come into contact only at the
very end of each chewing stroke, minimizing
horizontal loading on the teeth.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
38/109
39. Mutually Protected Occlusion
• Concurrently, the posterior teeth act as stops
for vertical closure when the mandible returns
to its maximum intercuspation position.
• Posterior cusps should be sharp and should
pass each other closely without contacting to
maximize occlusal function.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
39/109
40. Mutually Protected Occlusion
• Investigations of the neuromuscular
physiology of the masticatory apparatus
indicate advantages associated with a
mutually protected occlusal scheme.
• However, in studies involving unrestored
dentitions, relatively few occlusions can be
classified as mutually protected

41. Mutually Protected Occlusion
• Advantages
– Patient’s tolerence
– Ease of Construction
• Disadvantages
– Periodontally weak anterior teeth
– Missing Canine
– Class II and Class III situation
– Cross-bite situation

42. Optimum Occlusion
• In an ideal occlusal arrangement, the load
exerted on the dentition should be distributed
optimally.
• Occlusal contact has been shown to influence
muscle activity during mastication.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES

43. Optimum Occlusion
• Direct Effect
– Any restorative procedures that adversely affect
occlusal stability may affect the timing and
intensity of elevator muscle activity.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
43/109
44. Optimum Occlusion
• Horizontal forces on any teeth should be
avoided or at least minimized, and loading
should be predominantly parallel to the long
axes of the teeth.
• This is facilitated when the tips of the centric
cusps are located centrally over the roots and
when loading of the teeth occurs in the fossae
of the occlusal surfaces rather than on the
marginal ridges.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
44/109
45. Optimum Occlusion
• Horizontal forces are also minimized if
posterior tooth contact during excursive
movements is avoided. Nevertheless, to
enhance masticatory efficiency, the cusps of
the posterior teeth should have adequate
height.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
45/109
46. Optimum Occlusion
• The chewing and grinding action of the teeth
is enhanced if opposing cusps on the
laterotrusive side interdigitate at the end of
the chewing stroke.
• The mutually protected occlusal scheme
probably meets this criterion better than the
other occlusal arrangements.

47. Features of Mutually Protected
Occlusion
1. Uniform contact of all teeth around the arch
when the mandibular condylar processes are
in their most superior position
2. Stable posterior tooth contacts with vertically
directed resultant forces
3. Centric relation coincident with maximum in-
tercuspation (intercuspal position) (CR = MI)

49. Features of Mutually Protected
Occlusion
• In achieving these criteria, it is assumed that
(1) a full complement of teeth exists,
(2) the supporting tissues are healthy,
(3) there is no cross bite, and
(4) the occlusion is Angle Class I.

50. Rationale.
• At first glance it might seem illogical to load the
single-rooted anterior teeth as opposed to the
multirooted posterior teeth during chewing.
• However, the canines and incisors have a distinct
mechanical advantage over the posterior teeth:
the effectiveness of the force exerted by the
muscles of mastication is notably less when
the loading contact occurs farther anteriorly.

52. Dawson (1974) stated that,
• “When canines cannot be used ,lateral
movements have posterior dïsclusion guided
by anterior teeth on the working side, instead
of canine alone”
• He called this “Anterior Group Function”
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
52/109
53. Rationale.
(Dawson presented his Theory Of Nutcracker)
• The canine-with its long root, significant
amount of periodontal surface area, and
strategic position in the dental arch-is well
adapted to guiding excursive movements.
• This function is governed by pressoreceptors
in the periodontal ligament, receptors that are
very sensitive to mechanical stimulation.

3rd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier; 2000. p. 110-144
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
53/109
54. Rationale.
• The elimination of posterior contacts during
excursions reduces the amount of lateral force
to which posterior teeth are subjected.
• Therefore, molars and premolars in group
function are subjected to greater horizontal
and potentially more pathologic force than
the same teeth in a mutually protected
occlusion.

55. Organic occlusion features by
THOMPSON (1967)
• CRP and MIP are coincident
• Posterior teeth are in a cusp fossa relation, one tooth to
one tooth contact
• Each functional cusp contacts the occlusal fossa at three
points
• In protrusion maxillary incisors guide the mandible and
disocclude the posteriors
• In lateral movements – lingual surface of maxillary canine
glides along the distal inclines of mandibular canine and
mesial ridge of 1st premolar cusp

55/109
56. BEYRON’S OCCLUSAL CONCEPTS
• Based on functional convenience and avoidance of discomfort.
• An optimal occlusion would be one that requires less muscular
activity and is in harmony with the neuromuscular system and TMJ.
• Beyron revealed that the majority of the subjects had
anteroposterior slide, in the Centric Position , in the range of 0 to 2
mm.
• Only 10% of them presented a coincidence of CO=CR.
• He also advocated freedom in centric concept & canine guided
occlusion
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
56/109
57. BIOLOGIC OR PHYSIOLOGIC
OCCLUSION
• It is defined as an occlusion in which a
functional equilibrium or state of homeostasis
exist between all tissues of masticatory
system.
• A physiologic occlusion implies a balance
between occlusal stress and tissue resistance.
• The biologic processes and local
environmental factors are in balance.

59. Occlusal Intereferences
• Interferences are undesirable occlusal
contacts that may produce mandibualar
deviation during closure to maximum
intercuspation or may hinder smooth passage
to and from the intercuspal position.

60. Occlusal Interferences
• Four types of interferences:
– Centric Interference
• Mandible is closed in centric relation until initial tooth
contact occurs.
• If increasing the the closing forces deflects the
mandible, premature contact or interference exists.
• Leads to deflection of the mandible, can be in a
posterior, anterior and/or lateral directions.

to the muscles, non-axial nature of forces and inability
of patient to incise food.

70. PATHOGENIC OCCLUSION
• A pathogenic occlusion is defined as an
occlusal relationship capable of producing
pathologic changes in the stomatognathic
system.
• In such occlusions sufficient disharmony exists
between the teeth and the TMJs to result in
symptoms that require intervention

71. PATHOGENIC OCCLUSION
• Signs & Symptoms
– Teeth
• Mobility
• Open contacts
• Abnormal wear like fracture or chipping of incisal edges
– Periodontium
• Chronic Periodontal disease
• Widened PDL Space (Radiographically)
• Tooth Movement and A compromised C:R Ratio.

• Trauma From Occlusion
– There is no convincing evidence that chronic
periodontal disease is caused directly by occlusal
overload.
– However, a widened periodontal ligament space
(detected radiographically) may indicate
premature occlusal contact and is often associated
with tooth mobility

88. Pankey-Mann- Schulyer Philosophy Of
Complete Occlusal Rehabilitation
• Advantages
– It is possible to diagnose and plan the treatment
for entire rehabilitation before preparing a single
tooth.
– It is a well- organized logical procedure that
progresses smoothly with less wear and tear on
the operator, patient and technician. There is
never a need for preparing or building more than
8 teeth at a time.

Complete Occlusal Rehabilitation
• Advantages
– It divides the rehabilitation into separate series of
appointments. It is neither necessary nor
desirable to do the entire case at one time.
– There is no danger of getting at sea and losing
patient’s vertical dimension. The operator always
has an idea where he is at all times.

Complete Occlusal Rehabilitation
• Advantages
– The functionally generated path and centric
relation are taken on the occlusal surface of the
teeth to be rebuilt at the exact vertical dimension
to which the case will be reconstructed.
– All posterior occlusal contours are programmed by
and are in harmony with both condylar border
move ments and a perfected anterior guidance.
– There is no need for time consuming techniques
and complicated equip ment.

92. HOBO’ S TWIN STAGE PHILOSOPHY
• In order to provide disocclusion, the cusp angle should
be shallower than the condylar path.
• To make a shallower cusp angle in a restoration, it is
necessary to wax the occlusal morphology to produce
balanced articulation so the cusp angle becomes parallel
to the cusp path of opposing teeth during eccentric
movement.
• Since anterior teeth help produce disocclusion, when a
dental technician waxes the occlusal morphology and
tries to reproduce a shallower cusp angle, the anterior
portion of the working cast becomes an obstacle.

93. HOBO’ S TWIN STAGE PHILOSOPHY
• Also, when fabricating the anterior teeth to produce
disocclusion, some guidance should be incorporated. In
this methodical approach described by Hobo, a cast with
a removable anterior segment is fabricated.
• Reproduce the occlusal morphology of the posterior
teeth without the anterior segment and produce a cusp
angle coincident with the standard values of effective
cusp angle (Referred to as ‘Condition’).
• Secondly, reproduce the anterior morphology with the
anterior segment and provide anterior guidance which
produces a standard amount of disocclusion (Referred to
as ‘Condition 2’).

98. Difference
• In the Twin Stage
procedure, the cusp
angle was considered as
the most reliable
determinant of
occlusion. This was in
accordance with the
proven data from
studies that cusp angle
was 4 times more
reliable than condylar
and incisal paths.
Pankey Mann Schyuler’s
philosophy advocates that
condylar guidance does not
dictate anterior guidance.
Thus it believes in
harmonization of the anterior
guidance for best possible
esthetics, function and
comfort and the
determination of an occlusal
plane based on anterior
guidance.

103. • The occlusal scheme can be classified by the location
of the occlusal contact made by the functional cusp
on the opposing tooth in centric relation
• There are two types:
– cusp-fossa
– cusp-marginal ridge
OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES

Occlusal Scheme
104. • The cusp-marginal ridge relation is the type of
occlusal scheme in which the functional cusp
contacts the opposing occlusal surfaces on the
marginal ridges of the opposing pair of teeth, or in a
fossa.

Cusp-Marginal Ridge
105. • The cusp-fossa relation is an occlusal pattern in
which each functional cusp is nestled into the
occlusal fossa of the opposing tooth

Cusp-Fossa
106. • Although considered to be an ideal occlusal pattern,
it is rarely found in its pure form in natural teeth.
• Each centric cusp should make contact with the
occlusal fossa of the opposing tooth at three points.

Cusp-Fossa
107. • The contact points are on the mesial and distal incline and the
inner facing incline of the cusp, producing a tripod contact.
Since the cusp tip itself never comes in contact with the
opposing tooth, the cusp tip can be maintained for a long
time with a minimum of wear

In simple words it is the static contact relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth in any given position.
Compared to occlusion this is a contact relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth in function.
It is interrelated with the TMJ and the associated muscles. It is important to understand what is normal so that any deviation can then be assessed for diagnosis and treatment.
Long Centric The mandible is able to move anteirorly for a short distance in the horizontal and saggital plane while maitaining centric tooth contact
Histologically, the study of occlusion and articulation has undergone an evolution of concepts.
Lever system of the mandible. A, The elevator muscles of the mandible insert anterior to the TMJs and posterior to the teeth, forming a class III lever system. B, The fulcrum (F) is the TMJ, the force or effort (E) is applied by the muscles of mastication, and the resistance or load (L) is food placed between the teeth. The load will diminish as the lever arm increases. Therefore less load is placed on the anterior than on the posterior teeth.
Interefence occurs between the mesial inclines of maxillary posterior teeth and the distal inclines of mandibular posterior teeth.
Inter… occurs on the max lingual facing cusp inclines and mandibular buccal facing cusp inclines
