Occlusion and Temporomandibular Disorders
Kengo Torii
Abstract
The relation between retruded contact position (RCP), oblique slide from RCP to intercuspal position (ICP), and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) has not been demonstrated. Recently, occlusal discrepancy between habitual occlusal position (HOP) and bite plate-induced occlusal position (BPOP) has been reported to be related with sign (TMJ clicking) of TMD in a cross-sectional study. And elimination of the occlusal discrepancy is inferred to cure TMDs.
