Proposed score for occlusal-supporting ability
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our previous studies, we developed the normal periodontal ligament index (nPLI) and residual periodontal ligament index (rPLI) to estimate residual periodontal ligament support for individual teeth during treatment planning for partially edentulous patients. To illustrate the applicability of the nPLI and rPLI, an occlusal-supporting ability (OSA) score calculated using these indices for the remaining teeth corresponding to Eichner’s subclasses of partial edentulism was charted by numerically assessing the average occlusal support. This OSA score based on the nPLI and rPLI is proposed as a suitable tool for epidemiologic research on the progression of tooth loss and the survival of prostheses. The Ethics Committee for Epidemiologic Study of Hiroshima University approved the study protocol (No. 331).

The purpose of this 2-part paper is to review current knowledge concerning conventional and new diagnostic methods for occlusal...
متن کاملRole of occlusion in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases - A review
Trauma from occlusion is defined as injury to the supporting structures of the teeth from occlusal forces which exceed the reparative capacity of the attachment apparatus. It is of two types. Primary occlusal trauma, where the cause of tissue changes in the supporting structures of the teeth are the occlusal forces. Secondary occlusal trauma, where the tissue support to the tooth is compromised...
