چکیده

AIM The aim of this study was to find out the nature of occlusion and tooth contact during various eccentric mandibular movements in young adults with class I occlusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of 100 young adults with class I occlusion with full complement of teeth. Anterior disclusion in centric occlusion was demonstrated using a shim stock interposed between the upper and lower anteriors. Disclusion of posteriors was ascertained during 1.5 mm straight protusion and in edge-to-edge protrusion, visually as well as using a silk floss method. Posterior disclusion was also verified during lateroprotrusion and crossover. Besides these occlusal wear of teeth also were observed. RESULTS The results of this study showed that the anterior disclusion is seen only in one-fourth of the subjects compared to almost three-fourth showing posterior disclusion. Mutually protected occlusion was also seen only in one-fourth of the subjects. Canine protective mechanism is seen in a relatively large number of subjects, but it was not overwhelmingly predominant. No correlation could be established between cuspid wear and the type of occlusion. A relatively high percentage of subjects showed wear on posterior teeth when there was no posterior disclusion. CONCLUSION From the above study it is seen that posterior disclusion is acknowledged as a common factor except when a bilateral balance is present. Since bilateral balance is harmful, the ideal occlusal relationship in eccentric movements is in favor of posterior disclusion. Posterior disclusion is easily obtainable when restorations are planned. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE From the findings and results it has been possible to make some contributions on the nature of tooth contacts and disclusion during various eccentric movements and compare it with the requirements of ideal occlusion.

Motor Output Variability during Isometric, Concentric, and Eccentric Contractions in Young and Old Adults

Rapid eccentric contractions of the quadriceps have been shown to produce a more variable motor outcome than isometric and concentric contractions (Christou & Carlton, 1999, 2000). These findings provide additional support to the hypothesis that the central nervous system may control gradation of muscle force differently for eccentric contractions (Enoka, 1996). Several studies suggest that whe...

Electromyographic activity of the jaw muscles and mandibular kinematics in young adults with theoretically ideal dental occlusion: Reference values

BACKGROUND A necessary step to use neuromuscular analysis as diagnostic tool is to establish normal reference values for the physiological range in a healthy population. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity of the jaw muscles and mandibular kinematics were measured in young adults with theoretically ideal dental occlusion to determine normal reference values during different tasks. Differe...

Older adults are less steady during submaximal isometric contractions with the knee extensor muscles.

This study compared the steadiness of submaximal contractions with the knee extensor muscles in young and old adults. Twenty young and twenty old subjects underwent assessment of isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), one-repetition maximum (1-RM) strength, and steadiness during isometric, concentric, and eccentric contractions with the knee extensor muscles. The old adults displayed 33...

Kinesiographic study of the mandible in young patients with unilateral posterior crossbite.

It is generally assumed that children with posterior crossbites have abnormal mandibular movements; however, this assumption has not been clearly evaluated. The purpose of this investigation was to study the movements and the resting position of the mandible in 2 samples of 30 subjects, one aged 10 to 14 years with right posterior crossbite, the other aged 10 to 15 years with normal occlusion. ...

Correlation between facial morphology, mouth opening ability, and condylar movement during opening-closing jaw movements in female adults with normal occlusion.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parameters of facial morphology, maximal voluntary mouth opening ability, and condylar movements in 21 adult females, aged between 20 and 24 years. The subjects had a normal occlusion without sign or symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Mandibular movements were recorded using an opto-electric jaw movement recor...
