Occlusion revisited

Tulin Taner. J Contemp Dent Pract. .

Abstract

The evaluation of occlusion is of utmost importance, when planning for dental and orthodontic treatment. The occlusal characteristics of normal occlusion change according to the dentoalveolar maturation stages. In primary dentition, flush terminal plane relationship of the second primary molars is desired for a normal molar relationship. In the early mixed dentition stage, cusp to cusp molar relationship is the normal occlusal feature, when posterior primary teeth are in place and leeway space is preserved.
