Dr. Kamaris: Occlusal Concepts for Natural Tooth & Implant Supported Restorations

Introduction

Understanding occlusal concepts is essential for achieving optimal function and aesthetics in both natural tooth and implant-supported restorations. Dr. Kamaris emphasizes the importance of these principles in clinical practice.

Key Occlusal Concepts

• Centric Occlusion: The occlusion of opposing teeth when the jaw is closed in the maximum intercuspation.

• Functional Occlusion: The relationship between upper and lower teeth during functional movements, such as chewing.
