You are helping us soo much reon ; thankyou sooo much for clearifying our concepts of such boring subjects ; loads of love from pakistan

[@hoomaan462]

Im watching your videos for my specialty pros board exam! Good job man. There are few things about Bennett angle , immediate side shift , progressive side shift.. ; and also influence of condylar angle on compensation curve which is the other way around of what you described. The steeper the cond.inclination ; the steeper C.C will be. Thanks for videos!

[@mentaldental]

Thank you for watching them! I was hoping you can offer some clarification about some of the concepts you mentioned. For example, when I talked about condylar inclination and compensating curve I was talking about them in relation to disclusion. So a steeper HCI would mean faster disclusion in protrusive as would a shallower compensating curve. But, the steeper your condylar inclination is, the steeper you would have to make your compensating curve of your denture to maintain posterior contacts. Maybe this is what you are talking about? All the best!

[@hoomaan462]

Mental Dental absoloutley right. The confusion , or maybe my confusion was because of the different concepts of occlusion in edentulous patients and balanced occlusion ,and dentate patients with mutually protected occlusion; where we are looking for posterior discolusion as opposed to denture occlusion Anyways. your channel is genius, not only for general dentistry exams but for specialty board exam preparation. Thanks!

[@MattDRT0358]

Hi Dr Ryan, thank you so much for all your videos. Do you have a video that follows on from the occlusion concepts you discussed at the end? Specifically, I'm struggling to understand when you would want early or late disocclusion to be incorporated into denture design. I'm currently a dental student, for context if that helps.

[@drhasnaelfarrash2633]

Dr Ryan I really want to thank you for your kind and professional effort I also ask for a contact for more topics illustration , I’ll be too grateful

[@stevenzhang33]

Thanks!

[@jennifermehrens6398]

Love your videos, just a small correction for the Bennett angle. I'm pretty sure the angle is made by the arc of movement of the condyle and the sagittal plane. Your drawing showed it being made with the coronal plane. Not sure it really matters for the boards but for accuracy sake thought I'd share!

[@nnnnnnnn-b8v]

Thank you

[@Omar-yx7ul]

Can the interocclusal distance be measured also if we substract VDO from VDR?

[@dr.majdzaitouni239]

Hi dr I have a question Do we favor disclusion in complete dentures ?? And if yes , why please Thank you

[@jalalahmed4341]

what is the reason for excessive display of maxillary anterior teeth ?

[@zaraahmed2116]

Where I can get it the part one plz I need more

[@adriennewhelan4548]

Hi Dr.Ryan hypersalivation 3months post insertion could it be due to a reduced occlusal vertical dimension with new denture Its F/ over natural lower teeth

[@fatimaammiri8831]

Merci 🙏

[@zahramunir9949]

I had a confusion and would be really grateful if you could help sort this out for me. I saw this video and the concept that I concluded for me was as follows: When the Bennett movement is greater, the Bennett angle is less steep and the posterior cusps have tall steep declines. And these are all factors favoring Eccentric occlusion. In the Textbook of Prosthodontics by Deepak Nallaswamy, it is stated that when the Bennett movement is greater the cusps of posteriors should be kept shorter (which was a factor favoring disclusion). I find it contradictory. Could you please help me sort out this concept?

[@Marina-gr1dd]

how we get the tripodization?

[@gallegostoledo]

Hi Dr Ryan, a little confused of what we actually want on total dentures.... So WE WANT to favor ECCENTRIC occlusion? (steep incisal guidance / less curve of spee, shallow inclines on molars)?

[@user-pf8fs7oi3b]

is unilateral balancd occlusion the same named “working balancd occlusion” ?

[@Hannah_Tech]

U r awesome..👍👍👍

[@fatimaammiri8831]

Parfait 👍

[@adamdadoun602]

Hi Dr. Ryan, I believe you meant Determinants of Disclusion towards the end of the video?

[@jemimachatla7911]

Thank you so much! Where is that link that you mentioned? I cannot see in the description box. Appreciate if you can paste here. Thanks!

[@mentaldental]

You're very welcome! I don't remember which links I mentioned in the video--was it about my other occlusion videos? Here is the link to the one on dynamic occlusion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4nbg4aofsh6oLc

[@dentistasnamerica]

Is that correct, the balancing side maxilary lingual cusps contatct lingual incline of mand. BUCCAL CUSTS? don´t should be a lingual Cups?

[@alanoudsaudalshammari866]

Amazing work! apperciate it

[@tambui1505]

I so appreciate your helps in creating those amazing videos. Thank you so so much for that. They do help me a lot in the study. I just have a question as if you feel free to help me here. Could you please explain to me what is "gagging" in excessive VDO? I tried to look up the internet but nothing helps... thank you so much for your help.

[@mentaldental]

You are so welcome! Basically, the elevator muscles cannot relax normally if the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) exceeds the vertical dimension at rest (VDR). This can lead to muscle spasm and depression of the soft palate which then presses against the posterior border of the denture triggering a gag reflex.

[@tambui1505]

@@mentaldental Oh I got it. Thank you so much for your help. ❤️

[@Sariine436]

I had 4 PREMOLARS EXTRACTed and have a vertical jaw and I strain my muscles and had my tongue at the bottom my whole life :(

[@sabeer10]

[@ammoula2974]

Hi Rayan, in the determinants of occlusion, I was confused how is disclusion equals (no eccentric). I thought eccentric is diclusion as it’s the opposite of centric which is occlusion. 😟

[@mentaldental]

Hi there! Good question. Disclusion refers to the separation of teeth, while eccentric refers to tooth contact during movement of the mandible. So eccentric contacts on some teeth may lead to the disclusion of other teeth-they are tangentially related, but not the same.

[@houstoncambodia]

If we are favoring disclusion, why is it that we would want less Bennett movement? I thought that more side shift would equal faster disclusion, since opposing cusps are sliding along each other, pushing the jaws apart?

[@mentaldental]

More side shift or “looseness” at the condyles means that the teeth do not do as much lateral movement. Tighter condyles means the teeth will be able to experience more lateral movement and thus disclude better. It’s hard to explain in words but think of it like a door hinge. A tight hinge means the door can function well and swing open and closed fully. A loose, malfunctioning hinge means the door might only open slightly before the hinge gets displaced too far.

[@houstoncambodia]

@@mentaldental It's great that you're actually replying to questions! Sorry for posting so many. Your explanation makes sense. Thanks again.

[@TJ-dl4te]

Thanks for your video. Very helpful, I may have VDO. Any suggestions?

[@TJ-dl4te]

Insufficient VDO

[@mentaldental]

You're welcome! Are you having any symptoms? I would suggest following up with your dentist to see if there is any treatment they recommend.

[@swatishinde451]

does the last slide indicate occlusion in Complete denture?

[@mentaldental]

It can apply to complete dentures as well as fixed prostheses and natural teeth!

[@joanbaczek2575]

So dentists who don’t take vo measurements are just leaving it to chance and I should find a new dentist? I have to have my teeth removed and don’t want mistakes made with the dentures cuz my insurance will only pay for one set. So I gotta get it right the first time. Who should I determine who the best for the job is in my area? What list of questions should I ask?

[@mentaldental]

These are some great questions you bring up. It's my professional opinion that a quality set of custom dentures require multiple appointments and several steps to get as optimized as possible including measuring vertical dimension and using a wax rim to test phonetics. If I were you, I would tell your dentist what you are expecting (esthetics, function, fit, comfort) and perhaps ask for a referral to a prosthodontist in your area.

[@sushumakollata]

You told that you will leave a link about dyanamic occlusion..... please leave that I couldn’t find in description box

Are you saying ''Canada'' instead of Candida? I thought I lost my mind studying but I checked the auto-subtitles and that's what it understood too hahaha

No, I’m saying Candida, haha.
