Understanding the Influence of Static and Dynamic Occlusal Forces on the Musculoskeletal System With Digital Occlusal Analysis
Abstract
Health literature explains poorly the association that the dental occlusion and the occlusal forces have on the human body. Quantified occlusal contact force and timing parameters have been largely ignored in studies that assessed human health. This chapter introduces a novel concept where biometric technologies objectively measure all the components of the Stomatognathic System (occlusion - T-Scan 10), muscles (EMG), Temporomandibular Joints (TMJ-JVA), mandibular movements (kinesiology-jaw tracking), nerves (TENS) and positional posture (Matscan), to relate their findings to human conditions that have escaped adequate therapeutic resolution. Clinical evidence from combining all of these technologies has linked opposing posterior teeth excursive friction and masticatory muscular hyperactivity to the etiologies of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), Meniere's Disease (MD), postural abnormalities, and cervico-cranio mandibular dysfunction (CCMD). This chapter will illustrate that resolution of some of these confounding conditions can be achieved by performing computer-guided occlusal adjustments aimed at reducing the occlusal surface excursive friction with Disclusion Time Reduction therapy (DTR) and the Immediate Complete Anterior Guidance Development Coronoplasty (ICAGD).
