5. • Centric relation: The maxillo-mandibular relationship
in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest
avascular portion of their respective disks with the
complex in the anterior-superior position against the
shapes of the articular eminencies.
• Condylar guidance: Mandibular guidance generated
by the condyle and articular disc traversing the
contour of the glenoid fossae.

6. • Anterior guidance : The influence of the
contacting surfaces of anterior teeth on tooth
limiting mandibular movements.
• Non working side: That side of the mandible
that moves toward the median line in a lateral

of equalizing occlusal stress, producing
simultaneous occlusal contacts or harmonizing

There are 5 requirements for occlusal stability. These must become a dominant factor in any occlusal analysis and every occlusion should be evaluated to see wheteher or not all requiremnts r fullfilled or not. Anterior guidance play the key role. Anterior teeth are better able to resist stress than posterior teeth, because of their relation to tmj fulcrum and muscle force. Posterior teeth should not interfere with complete seating of the jaw joints and should not interfere with the anterior guidance. The ideal occlusal scheme is complete separation of all the posterior teeth by anterior guidance the moment the condyles leave the centric relation. When in centric realtion the goal is to have simultaneous equal intensity contact of all posterior teeth at the same instance the anterior teeth contact.
Some of the most stable occlusion can appear serious malocclusion if analysed on the basis of Angle,s classification. Many occlusion can be maintained in good health and stability. Before any treatment is initiated it is important to recognize if the occlusion is stable or not. There are definete, recognizable signs that tells whether the occlusion is stable or not.
Some disharmony between teeth and movement of mandible
Surface to surface contact also called as mashed potato occlusion. It results if articulator is closed when the wax is in molten state. It is stressful and produces lateral interference in anything other that vertical chop chop function. In tripod contact the tip of cusp never touches the opposing tooth. Contact is made on the sides of the cusp that are convexly shaped.3 points in the cusp is made to contact at three points on the sides of the opposing fossa.lateral n protrusive disclusion is necessary in this type of contact because convex lower cusp cant follow normal concave border path against upper teeth which are also convex. If cusp tip are properly located in the opposing fossa it provides excellent function and stability with flexibility to choose any degree of distribution of lateral forces. It is the easiest occlusion to equilibrate. Excellent resistance to wear.
The lower cusp-fossa inclines are determined by the anterior guidance and the condylar guidance. If the lower lingual cusp is to have functional contact in working side, its buccal incline must be the same as the lateral anterior guidance. If lower lingual cusp is to be disoccluded in working excursion , its buccal incline must be flatter than the lateral ant guidance.
Most conservative treatment choice. Can be combined with other treatment choices. If rules are not understood, guesswork grinding can be more mutilative and unpredictable. But if the requirements for stabiltiy and masticatory system equilibrium is understood and a strict rationale for occlusal correction is followed then it is one of the most successful procedures
Proper equilibration requires knowing in advance that it will be successful. It is designed to eliminated all premature or deflective tooth contacts that prevent condyle disk assembly from complete seating in their fossa when jaw close in max intercusaption. Key to prdictability is to know with certainity that TMj are nt source of pain or discomfort. Any disorder that would prevent the musculature from a comfortable , cordinated response should be evaluated. Equilibration indicates selective grinding of tooth structure, doesnt eliminate possibility of restoring tooth contours.
If occlusal euilibration leads to occlusal awareness or if they force a patient to function wher jaw is not comfortable. The equilibration is improperly done or not completed. Proper equilibration frees the mandible to move consiously and unconsiously.it eliminates tooth-tooth interferences that trigger the “erasure” mechanism of bruxism. Occlusal eqilibration just don’t eliminate the interferences but the resultant tooth contacts are such that forces are favourable .
Improper manipulation is main cause of failure in occlusal equilibration. Don’t force the mandible in centric relation. Forcing ll activate stretch reflex contraction of lateral condyle muscle, causing them to hold the condyles forward of centric relation. Centric relation position shud be confirmed before tooth contacts are marked.continue slow opening-closing movement until the first tooth contact occurs.hold that position and then squeeze. This ll determine direction n degree os slide
Most important concept. A stamp cusp is the cusp that fits into the fossa. Normally they are palatal cusp of upper and buccal cusp of lower . The reason for narrowing the cusp first is because in many deflecting occlusion the cusp tip have worn out to a wider contour. If first reshaping is directed towards widening the fossa to accept bulky stamp cusp, it unnecessarily grinds away more enamel than would be needed to accommodate narrower stamp cusp.
Instead of shorterning the stamp cusp, grind the sides of stamp cusp. Avoid the cusp tip.
Tilted teeth or wide cusp teeth can be adjusted to improve stability as well as to eliminate interferences. Should not be done if it will require shortening of cusp out of occlusion
Path followed by the lower posteriors as they leave centric relation and travel laterally is dictated by 2 determinants. The border movement of condyle- posterior determinant and the anterior guidance- anterior determinant.
Mandible should be guided with firm upward pressure through the condyles to ensure that all interferences are recorded and eliminated through the upper most range of motion that can occur at true border path. If unguided excursion, ther ll be a tendency to mark anterolaterally
Rule doesn’t specify cusp, it refers to incline and can be applied to all situation including crossbite cases.
