  2. Inlays and onlays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlays_and_onlays

    The key comparison between them is the amount and part of the tooth that they cover. An inlay will incorporate the pits and fissures of a tooth, mainly encompassing the chewing surface between the cusps. An onlay will involve one or more cusps being covered. If all cusps and the entire surface of the tooth is covered this is then known as a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_(dentistry)

    Canine guidance during right lateral excursions (Institute of Dentistry University of Aberdeen) Canine Guidance. Dynamic occlusion that occurs on the canines (on the working side) during lateral excursions of the mandible. These teeth are best suited to accept horizontal forces in eccentric movements due to their long roots and good crown/root ...

  4. Curve of Spee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_Spee

    In anatomy, the Curve of Spee (also called von Spee's curve or Spee's curvature) is defined as the curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane beginning at the canine and following the buccal cusps of the posterior teeth, continuing to the terminal molar. According to another definition the curve of Spee is an anatomic curvature of the occlusal ...

    Dog's titanium TPLO implant [1] TPLO , or tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy , is a surgery performed on dogs to stabilize the stifle joint after ruptures of the cranial cruciate ligament (analogous to the anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] in humans, and sometimes colloquially called the same).

    A cusp is an elevation on an occlusal surface of posterior teeth and canines. It contributes to a significant portion of the tooth's surface. Canines have one cusp. Maxillary premolars and the mandibular first premolars usually have two cusps. Mandibular second premolars frequently have three cusps--- one buccal and two lingual.

    The occlusal view is not included in the standard full mouth series. 1. Anterior oblique occlusal mandible – 45° Technique: the collimator is positioned in the midline, thru the chin aiming an angle of 45° to the image receptor which is placed centrally into the mouth, on to the occlusal surface of the lower arch. Indications:

  8. Occlusal trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusal_trauma

    Occlusal trauma; Secondary occlusal trauma on X-ray film displays two lone-standing mandibular teeth, the lower left first premolar and canine. As the remnants of a once full complement of 16 lower teeth, these two teeth have been alone in opposing the forces associated with mastication for some time, as can be evidenced by the widened PDL surrounding the premolar.

  9. Orthodontic indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_indices

    Occlusal Feature Index is introduced by Poulton and Aaronson in 1961. The index is based on four primary features of occlusion that is important in orthodontic examination. [12] The four primary features are as following: [12] Lower anterior crowding (canine to canine area) Posterior cuspal interdigitation (right posterior premolar to molar area)
