DETERMINANTS OF OCCLUSION IN FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE
Occlusal determinants are the factors that affect how the upper and lower teeth align, supporting proper jaw function and positioning. These factors include tooth contact, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and the neuromuscular system, all of which are essential for efficient chewing and preventing dental problems. Understanding these determinants is crucial for diagnosing occlusal disorders and developing effective treatment planning
