About this document
Understanding Occlusion Classes by Kaaroma Tamoaieta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Occlusion refers to the contact between opposing teeth. Ideal occlusion is harmonious static and dynamic tooth relationships, while malocclusion is deviation from ideal. Understanding occlusion allows for better diagnosis and treatment planning. Occlusion is controlled by three determinants: the temporomandibular joint, teeth, and neuro-masticatory system. Common classifications of malocclusion include Classes I, II, and III. Terms are also used to describe specific malocclusions and jaw relationships.
