Occlusive disease

It is present when disproportion between mutual location of upper and lower teeth and the correct location of temporomandibular joints takes place. The tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the organism and in proper conditions it abrades on the level of 11 µm yearly what gives 1 mm per 100 years!

Many times, teeth give the impression of suitably located and the troubles are not observed as compensation mechanisms take place which protect from the negative consequences of the occlusive disease. However they are efficient until the time the patient starts to feel pain or observe mechanical damage to teeth structure.

If any of the troubles are observed, they may be the symptoms of the occlusive disease:

• gnashing of teeth
• cavities in tooth wedges
• gingival recession (root uncovering)
• toothaches without clear reasons
• cold sensitive teeth
• abraded teeth, change in shape, flattening of cusps in lateral teeth
• feeling of face muscle fatigue or toothache after waking up
• headaches - in the morning of unknown origin, often mistakenly considered as migraine pain
• cracks in joints, the effect of the jaw moving, shifting while opening it wide
• pain in temporomandibular joints
• fatigue while chewing hard and taffy food products
• humming in ears

At first, doctors diagnose patients properly by means of carrying out the deprogramming procedure, occlusion registration in the articulator and preparing photographic documentation. Based on the above data, they are able to plan complex treatment and with the use of DSD protocol, to set the teeth aesthetically.

Occlusive disease detected in time will allow to keep your teeth in good condition for many years!
