This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: ACTIVITY 5 LATEST UPDATE, MUTUALLY PROTECTED OCCLUSION FEATURES No contact of posterior teeth, Useful in complete dentures because this arrangement helps denture stability, BILATERAL BALANCED OCCLUSION by Von Spee and Monson, MUTUALLY PROTECTED OCCLUSION Advantages easily fabricated, MUTUALLY PROTECTED OCCLUSION also known as Canine protected occlusion, use of sophisticated articulators hence abandoned for application, UNILATERAL BALANCED OCCLUSION is also known as Group Function, excessive contact of the anterior teeth in maximum intercuspation through Number of roots, Muscles with the proprioceptor activity on canine guided occlusion, significant periodontal Surface area helps in adapting to guiding excursive movement, Orientation of teeth which allow forces to be directed from the functional cusps to the long axis of the opposing tooth, Observed the destructive nature of tooth contact on the non-working side whereas cross-arch balance was not necessary in natural teeth, posterior teeth to have contact on working sides, on the other hand, teeth on the non-working side are contoured to to be free of any contact, Length of the root for example Canine, canine which has long root, occlusion wherein all teeth on the working side are in contact on the other hand, teeth on the non-working side are contoured, abandoned for application in natural teeth, posterior teeth does not occlude, bear all the load during excursive mandibular positions
