High Occlusion?
Posted on 10/1/2014
Chairside adjustments for high occlusal contacts are a truly frustrating experience. And it doesn’t get easier with Emax or Zirconia crowns - they are can be even more difficult than porcelain to adjust.
What can be done to minimize chairside adjustments and reduce the possibility of high occlusion?
Here are some tips:
Our technicians and CAD software use the following defaults for occlusion:
1. Normal Occlusion - 0.3mm gap from the opposing
2. Light Occlusion - 0.5mm gap from the opposing
3. Out of Occlusion - 0.7mm gap from opposing
4. In Occlusion - No gap
Normal occlusion is used by default. But if you are finding crowns coming back with high occlusion, we recommend to change your default to light occlusion or out of occlusion.
How can I change my default preferences?
Use our Digital Rx and click “Settings > Design Preferences”. Set your occlusion to light or out of occlusion.
Alternatively, download our preference sheet from StreamlineDental.com and fax back to us. We’ll update your preferences in our internal system.
