What is occlusal reconstruction?
Occlusal reconstruction is to treat temporomandibular joint diseases and maxillofacial tissue defects with artificial prostheses, such as occlusal plate, periodontal splint, prosthesis, artificial eye, artificial ear and artificial nose.

Among them, maxillofacial defect refers to the defect of jaw and face. The causes of maxillofacial defects include congenital dysplasia (such as cleft lip and palate? ), trauma, tumor surgery, radiotherapy, inflammation. Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common disease in masticatory system, including many disease states. The main clinical manifestations are joint and related masticatory muscle pain, mouth opening disorder and joint murmur. A considerable number of cases are accompanied by different degrees of headache.

Extended data:

Occlusal reconstruction is a kind of repair method, just like treatment. No disease is definitely incurable, and treatment is needed only if there is a problem with occlusion. It is impossible to reconstruct occlusion without occlusal problems. If there is no occlusion problem, occlusion reconstruction can definitely not be done.

Occlusal reconstruction is actually risky, and you need to go to a regular hospital to check whether it needs to be done, so there is only the difference between need and non-need, and there is no difference between good and bad. For example, antibiotics, antibiotics are definitely not good for normal people, only when they are sick and use the right antibiotics.

Similarly, if the occlusal reconstruction is not done well, the correct positional relationship between the upper and lower jaws is not determined, or the occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth is abnormal, the temporomandibular joint is prone to dysfunction. Once it appears, the lightest thing is smacking. If it is a little heavier, it will cause joint pain and limited mouth opening, which will eventually affect the diet. ?
