“…Moreover, dental students and inexperienced clinicians make efforts to gain experience, and patients seek experienced clinicians who can provide optimal treatment. McGarry et al formulated a classification system for edentulism, 1 partial edentulism, 2 and dentate patients 3 based on objective criteria. The classification system was devised to identify patients who would most probably merit treatment by a specialist or a practitioner with additional training and experience in advanced techniques.…”

This study revealed differences in the ability of dentists with varying levels of experience and indicated that final impression and denture adjustment procedures are difficult clinical steps for junior dentists to master. Educators need to specifically understand which steps in complete denture treatment require the most attention. AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate how a clinician's experience might affect the complete denture treatment. Methods:A randomized controlled parallel clinical trial at two hospitals was conducted from April 2004 to July 2006. Written informed consent was obtained from the study subjects. Permuted-block randomization was performed with a block size of 4, indicating that not only was the clinician's experience randomized) but also the denture base materials used (conventional acrylic resin and resilient liner). The chair time required for each step of complete denture treatment was compared between the junior clinician and senior clinician groups. The clinical protocol was carried out as follows: the preliminary impression, final impression, maxillomandibular registration, trial placement, denture delivery, and the number of visits for denture adjustments. Seventy-four subjects were assigned to this trial.Results: Significant differences were observed between the junior clinician and senior clinician groups with regard to chair time required for final impressions and the number of visits required for denture adjustments. There were no differences in chair time required for the other treatment steps. Conclusion: This randomized controlled clinical trialrevealed that a clinician's experience has an obvious influence on the chair time required for a final impression and the number of visits for denture adjustment.

“…La comprensión de la oclusión debe basarse en el conocimiento de la fisiología y morfología del sistema masticatorio, con el fin de entender las adaptaciones funcionales y el desarrollo de las patologías oclusales. Para tal fin, se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura, sobre anatomía de ATM 3-9 , ligamentos 10,11 , músculos [12][13][14][15] , irrigación 10,14 ; sobre conceptos de oclusión normal, así como sobre los cambios generados en: plano oclusal [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , guía anterior [30][31][32][33][34][35] , relación céntrica 36-39 y dimensión vertical [40][41][42][43][44] ; el presente documento se enfoca en el desarrollo progresivo de la patología oclusal.…”

Resumen: Introducción: Muchos de los lineamientos sobre oclusión y de las alternativas de tratamiento en paciente dentado y parcialmente edéntulo, se basan en conceptos planteados en los inicios de la profesión. La diversidad de escuelas de oclusión ha hecho que, algunos de esos conceptos se tornen complejos para su entendimiento y aplicación. Esta diversidad hace que la compresión de la fisiología oclusal y sus alteraciones sea difícil, obstaculizando el entendimiento de la patología oclusal, su correcto diagnóstico y manejo. Objetivo: Es por esto que se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre fisiología y patología oclusal, con el propósito de recopilar información basada en la evidencia científica, que permitiera esclarecer conceptos y homogenizar el conocimiento a cerca de los cambios en la fisiología y morfología del sistema estomatognático, asociados a las alteraciones oclusales, permitiendo a futuro la estandarización del proceso de diagnóstico oclusal en la Facultad de Odontología de La Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Metodologia: Se realizó una búsqueda en bases de datos MedLine, PudMed, Ovid, Ebsco, ScienceDirect y Hinari-Healthinternetwork mediante los términos Mesh "Dental Occlusion"-"Stomatognathic System"-"Masticatory System" -Temporomandibular Joint y las palabras de texto libre pertinentes, así como las bibliografías de los trabajos y artículos de revisión que tuvieran relacion directa con el tema; no se tuvo en cuenta la fecha de publicación. Resultados: Se obtuvo un total de 79 artículos, 10 textos y 7 páginas web. Conclusión: la patología oclusal es un proceso evolutivo que puede afectar cualquiera de los componentes del sistema estomatognático en su forma y/o función. La armonía oclusal es un estado en el que cada una de las partes del sistema funciona coordinadamente para cumplir las funciones de masticación, fonación y deglución; la rehabilitación oral debe encaminarse hacia la obtención de una oclusión armónica. Palabras clave: Oclusion dental, Sistema Estomatognático, Oclusión dental traumática, Articulacion Temporomandibular.Evolution of occlusal pathology. A literature review.Abstract: Introduction: Many of the guidelines on occlusion and treatment alternatives in dentate and partially edentulous patients, are based on concepts raised in the beginning of dentistry. The diversity of the occlusion schools has become some of these concepts complex to understand and apply. This diversity makes difficult the compression of the occlusal physiology and its disorders, hindering the understanding of the occlusal pathology and its proper diagnosis and management. Objective: This is why we conducted a literature review about oclusal physiology and pathology, in order to gather information based on scientific evidence, which in order to clarify concepts and homogenize knowledge about physiological and morphological changes of the stomatognathic system, associated to occlusal alterations, allowing the future standardization of the occlusal diagnostic process at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Nat...

“…13 The patient was characterized as category 2 relative to occlusal vertical dimension associated with a treatment plan 14 and as PDI class IV for completely dentate patients. 19 Treatment objectives were to control GERD, to manage caries by risk assessment, to maintain periodontal health, and to perform functional and esthetic restorations. Important treatment modifiers were GERD, bruxism, and the patient's esthetic demands.…”
