The acronym for Occlusal Cranial Balancing Technique is OCB. The OCB concept is based on the architectural principle of a level foundation. The principles of Occlusal Cranial Balancing are a monumental discovery and if applied will enhance total body function.

Occlusal splints are often constructed to aid in treatment of temporomandibular joint meniscus displacement. Techniques for arthrographically locating the point of meniscal displacement and for fabrication of an appropriate occlusal splint are described.

subject in the communities of researchers. Most authors consider occlusal anomalies as a fundamental factor in causing the symptoms, while other studies suggest that occlusal dysfunctions represent only one of the numerous factors associated with temporomandibular joint disorder (Landi et al 2012; Pullinger et al 1993; Sipila et al 2012). The occlusal factors must be analyzed both static and dy...

Pain management after root canal treatment is a very important issue in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal reduction on postoperative pain in teeth with irreversible pulpitis and tenderness to percussion. This was a prospective, randomized study conducted in Operative Department of dental section of Bahria Dental College and Hospital from June 20...

Amyloid-β (Aβ) plays a causative role in Alzheimer's disease. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is involved in Aβ accumulation, whereas occlusal disharmony increases Aβ production in the rat hippocampus. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of apoE deficiency and occlusal disharmony on Aβ production and spatial memory. Wild-type (WT) (n = 12) and apoE-deficient [ApoE(-/-)] (n =...

INTRODUCTION Pain management after root canal treatment is a very important issue in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal reduction on postoperative pain in teeth with irreversible pulpitis and tenderness to percussion. METHODS Fifty-four posterior vital teeth with sensitivity to percussion requiring endodontic treatment were included in this stu...
