Stress analysis of human teeth crowns in terms of proper occlusions

Standards of occlusion for human teeth are individually distinguishable and are determined by face shape, tooth location, the shape of the alveolar arch and the particular individual movements of the mandible during the physiological activities of biting and mastication.

Standards of occlusion for human teeth are individually distinguishable and are determined by face shape, tooth location, the shape of the alveolar arch and the particular individual movements of the mandible during the physiological activities of biting and mastication (W. Lasinski [1], B. Kahl-Nieke [2]).

However, only some types of occlusion, including the so-called edge-to-edge and end-to-end bites are considered to be proper. The features of the occlusal loadings corresponding to the above bite types are illustrated in Figure 1.
