제1대구치교합거상으로 일어나는 상하악교두거상거리의 증가에 관한 계측

The trends of restoration on abrased teethis mostly based on gnathology or on practical experience. This study was performed on plaster models from 60 young men whose teeth and occlusion are clinically normal. A pair, upper and lower models, were mounted on HANAU articulator. Iron ball bearing 0.2mm 0.5mm 0.7mm and 1.0mm in diameter was attached on mesiobuccal cusp of upper first molar. [table I] Long ribbon shape of cold cure resin was inserted and jaw was closed gently so as not to move disturb original position of iron ball. The resin bite registration was measured minimun thickness from each lingual cusps of upper jaw and buccal cusps of lower jaw by means of Bowley gauge. The results were as follows (graph). 1) The distance from upper lingual cusps and lower buccal cusps: backward cusps showed smaller than standard cusp (upper mesio-buccal cusp) and forward cusps showed longer than standard. 2) The measurements from upper lingual cusps are not coincide with lower buccal cusps.
