Do clinicians today indeed consider application of occlusal concepts a mechanistic approach (see EBD) or rather part of the functional biology?
Article A preliminary wax-up as diagnostic aid in occlusal rehabilitation
physiologic and biological laws related to the articular and neuromuscular coordination apply to the masticatory system as well. these physiologic and biological laws are controlling the occlusion mechanism, making the mechanistic concept not consistent. I believe more that the occlusal concepts are part of the functional biology
Thank you for your reply.
Will need to divulge a secret as such!
Evidence base do not value occlusal considerations as significant - it is regarded as mechanics and not biologic.
How is that?
Thank you for this question upon a subject I would like to understand better. Could you mention some interesting studies/theories/practical approaches on this issue, even if they belonged to the "grey" area outside EBD/EBM? I would much appreciate it.
Dr Liviu
To be honest most of the clinicians go by the laboratory designed/suggested occlusion, Where it end up purely mechanical... as most of the labs go for hinge/plaster slab articulator to reduce the workload and simplify the work.
I also would like to add
how many clinicians opt to use semi/fully adjustable to design the occlusal schemes in case of oral rehabilitation?
so,i would rather call it as a mechano-biology.. do you agree with it?
To add with my previous answer, actually it should be mechano-biology, but it is considered as mechanical by many of the practitioner, in a way the occlusal concept was abused.......
Sir,
your reply is much appreciated. Thank you!
The summary of EBD points at mechanics of occlusion as an overruled rudimentary
inheritance from the times of Gnathology. Personally I have to admit that I heavily disagree with the statement. The problem I intended to point at is that the speciality is in heavy duty to continue to perform research to prove EBD wrong. I am the first one to volunteer to initiate similar studies but support is highly needed.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for the reply .
count on me ,i am in support of your view.
it would be a great initiative and much needed.
I am in sir.
Wonderful. Aren t those good news?
Should we get in contact via private mail as such?
my mail address is:
Looking forward to your contact!
Thats fabulous sir.
It would be my privilege.
my personal mail is [email protected]
i will mail you shortly.
