PERIOCCLUSION �?? �??A DILEMMA�??

‘Per occlusion’ in my lecture would refer to the relationship of Periodontium to Occlusion. Many questions still remain unanswered in context to relationship of occlusion to periodontal disease and vice versa. A short attempt to understand the following dilemmas:

•Whether occlusal trauma is noteworthy in the aetiology of periodontal disease?

•Whether occlusal treatment is suggested for patients suffering from periodontal disease?

• Making a correct diagnosis of trauma from occlusion.

•Tooth mobility and occlusal equilibration.

• Is splinting of teeth necessary?

•Important guidelines for good occlusal considerations in periodontics and oral Implantology.
