FUNDAMENTALS OF OCCLUSION AND MASTICATORY FUNCTION
and mandible (Fig. 14, 15). After a few days, the
headache was gone.
Summary and outlook
From the perspective of dentistry, occlusal
interferences are the main risk factor for uncoordinated
hyperactive muscles and thus also for CMD. In severe
malocclusion, which cannot be immediately eliminated
for various reasons, for example infraocclusions,
the initial occlusion is performed on the basis of a
corresponding point registration with occlusion aids.
Only after successful treatment of CMD, which is
accompanied usually by achieving a physiological
centric, definitive occlusal and / or restorations and
orthodontics can be planned and carried out.
An initial, relatively reliable, short clinical function
and occlusion diagnosis to exclude CMD is the
condensed clinical report (Fig. 16).
