occlusal check

The occlusion relationship check examines the molar relationship of the maxillary first molar near the mid-abdominal cheek and in the proximal middle cheek groove of the mandibular first molar. And in the examination of the occlusal relationship, the teeth are cut and bitten in the lingual side of the upper teeth. The patient opened the mouth and the doctor used a flashlight and an endoscope to observe the relationship between the patient's teeth. Basic Information Specialist classification: oral examination classification: physical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Before the check: taboo: protect your teeth and don't get damaged. Normal value 1 The size and shape of the teeth are normal. Orderly rows. 2 The occlusal relationship between the upper and lower jaw teeth is normal, and the upper and lower teeth's cusps are relatively and widely contacted, and the coverage and coverage are normal. 3 The abutment relationship of each tooth is normal, the shape, length and width of the upper and lower arches are appropriate, and the midline is aligned. 4 The size, shape and mutual position of the upper and lower jaw bones are normal. 5 The development and function of the facial and perioral muscles are normal. 6 The structure and function of the mandibular joint are normal. 7 When the mandibular function is exercised, the balance is reached, and when the mouth is closed, it is in a positive relationship. Clinical significance Abnormal results The occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth is often disturbed by the displacement of the jaw fracture. This is the most obvious symptom of the jaw fracture and is of great significance for the diagnosis of jaw fracture. The mandibular transverse fracture, the fracture segment is displaced downward, so that the maxillary posterior teeth and the mandibular posterior teeth are in early contact, so that the anterior teeth are in an open occlusion state. After the mandibular fracture, due to the displacement of the fracture segment, the occlusal relationship of the teeth is disordered. If there is no displacement of the fracture segment, there is no obvious confusion in the tooth occlusion. The teeth that need to be examined are inaccurate. Precautions Contraindications before inspection: Pay attention to protecting your teeth and not be damaged. Requirements for inspection: The mouth should be opened for the convenience of the doctor. Inspection process The patient opened the mouth and the doctor used a flashlight and an endoscope to observe the relationship between the patient's teeth. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate crowd: None.
