[Clinical results of functional bite analysis. III. The effect of objectifiable factors upon the therapeutic results].
The influence exerted by objectifiable factors on the therapeutic result of temporo-mandibular joint disorders was analyzed in follow-ups carried out in 73 patients. As the most frequent cause of still existing complaints occlusal interferences, especially balance contact, were found. The majority of these balance contacts had developed after termination of our therapy, as a result of occlusal surfaces having an unfavorable shape with regard to masticatory function or as a result of spaces in the dentition that had not been treated prosthetically. It was possible to demonstrate that lasting therapeutic success is mainly due to the consistent securing of an interference-free centric and eccentric occlusion. Function controls should also be carried out as a routine measure in people with healthy temporo-mandibular joints, in order to guarantee improved prophylaxis of disorders in the stomatognathic system.
