Occlusal disease revisited: Part I--Function and parafunction.

This article will address the evolution of occlusal disease from childhood and the deciduous dentition forward. It will include the evolution of anterior wear with emphasis on "cross over" of the mandible. Having classified the types and extent of occlusal disease, new evidence will be shown, on the adult dentition with pathognomonic manifestations, of cross-over or bruxed-braced occlusal disease. Its potential effect on restorative dentistry and dental implants will be discussed.

Occlusal disease revisited: Part II.

In part I of this article, the evolution of bruxism from childhood was discussed. Further, the different types of anterior tooth wear were reviewed. Specifically, the type of wear noted in bruxed-braced or cross-over position was pointed out. Examples were illustrated to allow the practitioner to recognize the type of parafunction in advance of treatment. This article will continue the discussion of cross over with moderate to extreme examples. Suggestions for treatment are discussed depending on the severity of the problem. Restorative failure and the implications for implant dentistry are noted.
