• This shifting can result in uneven teeth alignment, bite issues, and even periodontal problems as the teeth are more prone to trapping food particles and bacteria. (natrusmile.com)
  • Poorly aligned teeth or a misaligned bite can result in uneven distribution of forces during biting or chewing, increasing the risk of abfraction. (gumdiseaseguide.org)
  • This post explains what abfraction lesions are, what causes them and the link with periodontal disease and gingival recession. (gumdiseaseguide.org)
  • It generates masseter hypertrophy, headaches, temporomandibular articulation changes, flare or thickening of the periodontal ligament, and wear facets on the posterior teeth and anterior 18,19 . (bvsalud.org)
  • These repetitive, often unconscious behaviors can force teeth out of their proper alignment. (natrusmile.com)
  • These habits can lead to an open bite (where the upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed), an overjet (where the upper front teeth protrude excessively), or a narrowing of the upper jaw. (natrusmile.com)
  • Teeth grinding or clenching can exert excessive force on the teeth, making them more susceptible to abfraction. (gumdiseaseguide.org)
  • For example, teeth with thin enamel, reduced thickness of dentin near the gum line, or uneven distribution of forces due to tooth shape irregularities could be more prone to abfraction. (gumdiseaseguide.org)
  • This is characterized by the application of excessive forces in the masticatory muscles, may cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction, headaches and tooth wear. (bvsalud.org)
  • They are often caused by excessive forces and abrasion. (gumdiseaseguide.org)
  • It is thought that the excessive forces cause flexure or bending of the tooth structure, particularly at the thin cementum layer near the gum line, leading to microfractures and eventual loss of tooth substance. (gumdiseaseguide.org)
  • Both models were subjected to loads simulating maximal bites on the left upper third premolar (P 3 ) and left upper second molar (M 2 ), under the assumption that the chewing muscles were acting at peak activity levels on both sides of the cranium. (nature.com)
  • This is characterized by the application of excessive forces in the masticatory muscles, may cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction, headaches and tooth wear. (bvsalud.org)
  • Studies have shown varying amount of occlusal forces and marginal bone levels around implant-retained restorations and natural tooth. (allenpress.com)
  • Elderly patients often need more frequent visits to stay healthy, as they are at a higher risk of oral complications, including extraction, tooth decay, and periodontal (gum) disease. (cvilledentalimplants.com)
  • The study measured the maximal occlusal forces (MOFs) and marginal bone levels (MBLs) around single implant-retained restorations over a period of 1 year and studied the correlation between them. (allenpress.com)
  • The occlusal forces affect the bone surrounding an implant-retained restoration. (allenpress.com)
  • Mechanical stress can have both positive and negative consequences for bone tissue and thereby also for maintaining osseointegration of an oral implant-retained restoration. (allenpress.com)
  • It has been speculated that osseointegrated implants without periodontal receptors could be more susceptible to occlusal overloading and crestal bone loss because the load-sharing ability, adaptation to occlusal force, and mechanoperception are significantly reduced in dental implants. (allenpress.com)
  • Very few studies have been done to study the correlation between occlusal forces and radiographic evidence of marginal bone loss and implant failure, and no study has been done on the Indian population. (allenpress.com)
  • There are no clinical indices available to quantify these occlusal forces and their impact on prosthesis and oral implants, as they are available for plaque accumulation and peri-implant mucositis. (allenpress.com)
