Abstract
The aims of occlusal adjustment are as follows: to eliminate occlusal interference, to redirect force generated during function to which is favorable for teeth, to improve mastication efficiency and simultaneously establish stable maximal intercuspation or centric occlusion. Also, it should permit mandible to move freely from all positions. The sequence of occlusal adjustment in natural teeth and fixed prosthesis shall be as follows: 1) Eliminate interference that prevent optimal intercuspation and recontouring adjustment 2) Establish maximal intercuspation 3) Eliminate interference in lateral mandibular movement 4) Eliminate interference in anterior mandibular movement 5) Refine occlusal relationships.
