Pathways

Developing the Occlusion

1.Evaluate the TMJ’s

2.Evaluate muscles

3.Evaluate the teeth

4.Mount Models

5.Develop the occlusion

Step 1: Examine the joints, muscles, and

teeth to determine if the existing occlusion is

physiologic or pathologic

Step 2: Following the examination make a

diagnosis of the current occlusion

Physiologic Pathologic

If the patient’s current occlusion is

physiologic

Are you going to alter it?

If so, where are you going to alter it?

If the patient’s current occlusion is

pathologic

How are you going to alter it?

Occlusal Positions

1) The position of maximum intercuspation MIP

Male 45 years old

• Desires esthetic

improvement of maxillary

teeth with veneers

• Has cracked maxillary right

first and second molars

• No joint or muscle symptoms

Relationship between the

occlusion and muscles

The lateral pterygoid pulls the

condyle in an anterior direction

producing translation

Relationship between the

occlusion and muscles

The lateral pterygoid pulls is

programmed by the posterior teeth

to hold the mandible so that when

we close we close into MIP

Intercuspal Position Options

• Use the patient’s existing intercuspal position

Useful when the existing position is asymptomatic, and your treatment plan won’t destabilize the occlusion

Intercuspal Position Options

• Create a new intercuspal position

Useful if your treatment plan will destabilize or remove the existing occlusion, or when the existing occlusion is

pathologic

Occlusal Positions

1) The position of maximum intercuspation

2) Excursive pathways anterior or lateral to MIP

Male 55 years old

• Fractured left lateral incisor

• No esthetic complaints

• No room for a restoration


Pathway wear End to end wear Crossover

X

The goal in pathway wear patients is to

increase the overjet!

Occlusal Positions

1) The position of maximum intercuspation

2) Excursive pathways anterior or lateral to MIP

3) End to end and crossover occlusion

Male 20 years old

• Fractured left lateral incisor

• No esthetic complaints

• No room for a restoration

The edge to edge treatment plan will be created on models first

Protrusive

Right lateral

Left lateral

1. Establish maxillary tooth position

2. Transfer desired esthetic changes to the

models

3. Move the articulator end-to-end and correct lower

anteriors

The goal in edge to edge wear patients is broad smooth contacts

3. Move the articulator end-to-end and correct lower

anteriors

4. Evaluate centric contacts in anterior

Equilibrate posteriors Add palatal compositeOR

Female 50 years old

• Unhappy with the esthetics

of her maxillary anterior

teeth

• Concerned about the wear

on her mandibular anterior

teeth

• No joint of muscle symptoms

Pathway wear facets, only on the facial surfaces


X

There is some evidence of erosion as well as attrition

The radiograph shows the lower anteriors occluding at the palatal

aspect of the uppers

The facets show the depth of the overbite

Her intercuspal position is not Class I, but is acceptable

Not missing any teeth

The model shows a combination of attrition and erosion

Correction by intruding and proclining the upper incisors and

intruding the lower incisors

The gingival levels and occlusal plane illustrate the mandibular

anterior over-eruption

Treatment Alternatives

1. Procline upper incisors

5. Orthognathic surgery

Ortho set up simulating tooth movements and restoration

Note: no changes are being made to the posteriors

Maxillary anteriors proclined

Mandibular anteriors intruded and restored

Ortho vs Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening could be

done on the lower instead of

ortho if there is adequate root

length since the tooth position

is good, just over-erupted

Ortho vs Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is not a

good option for the upper due

to the retroclined position of

the teeth, the subsequent

tooth preparation would leave

no tooth structure

Composite bonded to allow for bracket placement

Composite bonded to molars to hold open the vertical

Maxillary proclination and intrusion, mandibular anterior intrusion

Brackets removed for composite bonding

Incisor length corrected with composite prior to re-bracketing

Pencil line represents previous tooth length

Brackets replaced ideally for ortho finishing

Veneers
