#26: Occlusion and Malocclusion
from Dental Hygiene Student Podcast with The Happy Flosser RDH · host Billie Lunt RDH MSDH
Occlusion is part of the assessment process in caring for your patients in the clinical setting. In this episode we will review Angle’s Classification of occlusion for the permanent dentition period. A review of parafunctional habits as well as contributing factors that exist between occlusion and long term dentition stability will be discussed. Implications of malocclusion will be reviewed. As clinicians, it is important to assess, properly document, and review occlusal assessments on all of our patients in the clinical setting. As I say.... "Those who know will grow."
