Osseoperception: sensory function and proprioception.

Abstract

Tooth loss and its replacement have significant functional and psychosocial consequences. The removal of intra-dental and periodontal mechanoreception accompanying tooth loss changes the fine proprioceptive control of jaw function and influences the precision of magnitude, direction, and rate of occlusal load application. With the loss of all teeth, complete denture restoration is a compromise replacement which only partially restores function. Implant-supported prostheses restore jaw function more appropriately, with improved psychophysiological discriminatory ability and oral stereognosis. Osseoperception is defined as depending on central influences from corollary discharge from cortico-motor commands to jaw muscles, and contributions from peripheral mechanoreceptors in orofacial and temporomandibular tissues. The processing of central influences is considered with the recognition of the plasticity of neuromotor mechanisms that occurs to accommodate the loss of dental and periodontal inputs.

What is occlusion?

The aim of this series of papers is to explore the role of occlusion in dental practice. The range of opinion in the dental profession as to the importance of occlusion is enormous. It is very important that the profession in general and practising dentists in particular have a balanced view of occlusion. This is more important than every patient having a balanced occlusion. The fact that the study of occlusion is characterised by extremes makes it confusing and possibly difficult for individual dentists to find a philosophy which is in line with contemporary good practice supported by evidence from practice-based research.

Numerical investigation of the factors affecting interfacial stresses in an MOD restored tooth by auto-meshed finite element method.

Many researches have addressed the high correlation between the fracture of restored teeth and the prepared cavity geometry. In addition, concerns about bonding versus debonding dental materials from cavity walls and different occlusal force conditions could also alter the mechanical responses in a restored tooth. This study employed an automatic mesh procedure to investigate the mechanical interactions between different interfacial conditions and cavity parameters such as pulpal wall depth under different chewing functions. The results indicated that when occlusal force was applied directly on the tooth, it could increase unfavourable stress dramatically. When interfacial fixation was simulated as the contact condition between the tooth tissue and restorative material, it might increase the fracture potential exponentially compared with the bonded interface. For pulpal wall depth analyses, greater risks of fracture for the remaining tooth were observed in deeper cavity of mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) restorations and the existence of a pulpal wall is essential even it is only 1 mm above the gingival wall.

The effect of rim mandibulectomy configuration and residual segment size on postoperative fracture risk: an in vitro study.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect that size and shape of rim mandibulectomy has on residual mandibular strength and resistance to fracture, with the ultimate goal of improving the use of this technique and establishing a threshold for the application of prophylactic internal fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten partially dentate dry human mandibles were mounted in a manner replicating the pterygomasseteric musculature. Unilateral midbody serial rim excisions of increasing size were completed in both a curvilinear and right-angled fashion, and physiologic forces were gradually applied to a level of residual segment fracture. Dimensional measurements were taken of the specimens before and after fracture to understand which factors contributed to failure. RESULTS: On average, a curvilinear excision configuration resisted higher occlusal forces with a smaller residual segment than did the right-angled excision configuration. A residual inferior border thickness of less than 9 mm could not predictably withstand force application within the limits of the experimental model. CONCLUSION: These data support the use of a curvilinear excision configuration for rim mandibulectomies. Reproducibility of the location of the residual segment failure and other consistent residual segment dimensional information have implications regarding the limitations of this technique, beyond which the use of adjunctive support in the form of maxillomandibular fixation or prophylactic internal fixation may be indicated.
