Description

Video 1:

Here the primary discussion is about the role of interferences and how they impact the oral cavity.

With the help of illustrations, Dr. Khakiani explains the concept of 'forced mandibular position' and its influence on the stomatognathic system.

Taking this discussion forward, he speaks about the 'cascading effect', where the manifestation of occlusal prematurities and disc displacement disorders can be seen far beyond the oral cavity.

With a few light moments interposed, this video is curated to deliver a very powerful message.

Video 2:

This video starts with a discussion on the concept of 'Perfected Occlusion'. Static occlusion (in centric) and dynamic occlusion (during excursion) are both addressed, as together they provide 'Mutually Protected Occlusion', the most recommended occlusal scheme for Full Mouth Reconstructions.

A key to the survival of porcelain is simultaneous and uniform intensity contact on all posterior teeth during static loading, with complete disclusion of posterior teeth during excursive movements.

With animated videos, the concept of canine guidance and group function in lateral excursion are explained with recommended scenarios where group function occlusion is preferred over a canine rise.

The video also introduces the term 'pathologic group function', with the mission that clinicians try their best to stay away from such a scheme when restoring natural teeth.

Last a super simplified set of images is presented that can be used as a reference when restoring the occlusal surface for patients with Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusion.

Video 3:

The last part of this series on occlusion is all about making occlusion visible, i.e. the use of articulating papers.

Dr. Khakiani speaks about a personal classification for articulating paper thickness with indications of each. Next, he talks about the use of horseshoe shape articulating papers: blue for static and red for dynamic along with chair positions in which the bite is to be checked.

Next comes shim stock, an articulating foil used to gauge the intensity of occlusal contacts. A must-have tool for every clinician with the desire to achieve predictable occlusion. 

Next, he speaks briefly about Trollfoil, an 8-micron articulating foil that has become a favorite in his practice. Super easy to use, this foil marks even on glazed, polished, moist surfaces making it a go-to paper for tooth and implant-supported dentistry. It is available at https://mikdental.in/product/trollfoil/

Lastly, he shares his perspective on the use of digital occlusal devices like T-scan and Occlusense.
