An article about occlusal trauma in dentistry
Occlusal trauma refers to injury to the periodontium resulting from excessive occlusal forces. It is a significant factor in the progression of periodontal disease and can lead to tooth mobility, tooth migration, and periodontal bone loss.
Types of Occlusal Trauma[edit]
Occlusal trauma can be classified into two main types:
Primary Occlusal Trauma[edit]
Primary occlusal trauma occurs when excessive occlusal forces are applied to a tooth or teeth with normal periodontal support. This type of trauma is often seen in cases of bruxism or malocclusion.
Secondary Occlusal Trauma[edit]
Secondary occlusal trauma occurs when normal or excessive occlusal forces are applied to a tooth or teeth with compromised periodontal support. This is commonly associated with periodontitis, where the supporting structures of the teeth are already weakened.
Clinical Features[edit]
The clinical features of occlusal trauma may include:
- Increased tooth mobility
- Tooth migration
- Fremitus
- Wear facets on the occlusal surfaces
- Pain or discomfort on biting
- Periodontal bone loss
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of occlusal trauma involves a thorough clinical examination, including:
- Assessment of tooth mobility
- Evaluation of occlusal contacts using articulating paper
- Radiographic examination to assess periodontal bone loss
Management[edit]
Management of occlusal trauma involves:
- Occlusal adjustment to redistribute occlusal forces
- Use of occlusal splints to protect teeth from excessive forces
- Treatment of underlying periodontal disease
