Exploring the Importance of Occlusion in Periodontal Disease and POAAT Intervention

Professor Seungho Lee, director Taehoon Joo

When discussing periodontal disease in relation to POAAT, occlusion must always be examined in conjunction with changing periodontal conditions. The process of adjusting the occlusal plane so that the teeth are aligned in their normal positions, the centric relationship is well maintained, and there is. no occlusal disturbance is needed during the function, I think it is very important.

According to Frost’s mechanostat theory, bones maintain their shape when an appropriate force between 200 and 2,500 microstrain is applied, but if it exceeds that range, it atrophies, hypertrophies, or resorbs.

If an adult patient has undergone POAAT along with sequential periodontal management and has decided to improve occlusion through full mouth rehabilitation, obtain centric relation first.

The centric relation is obtained by tracing the Gothic arch and placing the needle 0.5 mm in front of the point where the three lines meet during forward and lateral movements, and the occlusal diameter is 2 mm in the free space at the Height of the ‘m’ or Pronunciation of the ‘f’ It is recommended to reduce the size and use the yellow stone for precise bite registration.

It’s a little difficult to handle the ingredients, like mixing water and powder, diluting the mixture, and then putting it into a plastic syringe, but it’s precise and doesn’t cause any deformation. The KAVO articulator uses a face bow to determine the position of the upper jaw and obtains intra-occlusal registrations anteriorly and laterally to reproduce the movement of the lower jaw.

But in fact, being a periodontist who always has a facebow or semi-adjustable articulator on hand and does not have a specialized clinical practice in prosthodontics, I felt frustrated when it came to large cases, and eventually I turned to the deceased Director Choi Byeong-gun, who was one of the experts in the field, I was looking for him.

Even though I learned something about occlusion from that adult, when I happen to apply advanced prosthetic equipment for full mouth rehabilitation, I am always clumsy and need the help of people around me.
