A Clinical Approach to the Making of Optimum Occlusion

—Aiming Item for Dentist and Dental Technician—

Abstract

Prosthetics is required to accomplish restoration of the function of the teeth or the dentition. Prostheses placed in the oral cavity are required to be compatible to the living body and to perform their function over a long period. Occlusion is undoubtedly a key to successful prosthetics.
We, therefore, evaluated how dentists and dental technicians should cooperate to implement better occlusion.
In this study, to re-establish this point, we selected a few basic problems and evaluated each of them from the viewpoints of dentists and dental technicians.
