Aspectos clínicos do ajuste oclusal na dentição natural

Abstract

The position of the teeth in the dental arches and their relationship during occlusion with antagonist teeth, are fundamental to the basic activities of the stomatognathic system as swallowing, speaking, chewing and others. The occlusal adjustment by selective grinding, duly noted, seeks to obtain harmonization of the occlusion, acting as an artificial compensation mechanism of occlusion, which modifies the occlusal surface of natural teeth, restorations, prostheses, among others, through selective worn. Therefore, occlusal adjustment provides a better relationship between the dental arches, providing uniforms stimulus to the teeth and periodontal so they can perform their duties efficiently.These study aims to define the directions and goals of occlusal adjustment and to describe their consequences.
