title: [Focus on the occlusal failure].
abstract: The success is evidenced by the longevity of aesthetic and functional therapeutic result. The occlusal «postorthodontic» failure could result in dental instability, functional discomfort, dental or musculo-articular complaint. Analysis of the occlusion research potential occlusal pathogenic dysfunction listed in stabilizing (shimming), centering and guiding anomalies. The large capacity of tolerance of the masticatory system makes it difficult to define the border between physiology and pathology but it is necessary to have benchmarks that can be summarized as follows: - shimming: occlusal contact of mesio-lingual cusp of the first maxillary molars (in Class I, II or III) and occlusal contacts between the canines antagonists; - centering: no transversal deflected occlusion between maximal Intercuspation (ICP) and occlusion in Centric Relation (RCP); - guiding: absence of posterior interference, absence of anterior interference (locking).
