The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• Increasing awareness and fear
• Roth’s interests– Belief that functional dynamics of occlusion imp. for
stability– To prove that no harm was being done to his pts. – To disprove that PM extractions could cause TMD
![Page 3: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• Equilibration –
– Time consuming and difficult
– Only possible if there are minor problems
– Jaws had to have stable relation – i.e.. after growth.
– More important to straighten teeth better.

Functional Occlusion
• SIX KEYS of Occlusion, with the mandible in CENTRIC RELATION

The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• The condyles should be seated superior and anterior in the fossae against the articular disks and the distal slope of the articular eminence, and centered transversely.
» Electromyographic study by Williamson

The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• Incisors in Class I occlusion• 4 mm overbite• 2-3mm overjet at incisors• 1mm overjet at canines• U Canine cusp tip below occl. plane – at level of
contact point b/w L3 & 4/5• U canine, slightly mesial axial incliation, so that it
touches disto – incisal slope of L canine

The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• Signs that mand. is not in centric – – Occlusal wear– Excessive tooth mobility– TMJ sounds– Limitation of mouth opening– Myofacial pain– Tightness of mandibular musculature
![Page 9: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• Important to diagnose a patient from centric• Guide mandible into centric, and check for first
tooth contact– Articulator mounting may be necessary.– Splint therapy may be needed.
![Page 10: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Functional Occlusion
• Once mandible is stabilized in centric, Rx planning can begin.
• If large difference, ceph should be taken in centric, or adjusted accodingly.
• Jarabak ceph analysis and Ricketts VTO

The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Anchorage considerations
Factors that result in mesial migration of molars – • Heavy wires for leveling COS• Attempts to gain rapid alignment with heavy
wires• Uprighting distally tipped canines• Lingual root torque of max. incisors• Arch expansion with labial archwire• Retracting extremely procumbent anterior teeth
![Page 53: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Anchorage considerations
• Procumbent teeth offer a lot of anchorage• Once teeth are upright, they retract easily.
• Space closure can be done on any wire, as long as it is done slowly.
![Page 54: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Anchorage considerations
• Initial alignment on light wires – – 0.015 Coaxial wire then 0.017/0.019 Coaxial wire– Heavier wires (esp with COS – tend to procline teeth)
• For leveling COS – where do incisors need to be?– Intrusion with - 19 square Utility arch
• Then go to continuous wire
![Page 55: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Minimal use of HG
1. Leveling on light wires – usually Coaxial
2. If procumbent incisors – upright with HG
– 6-8 weeks with HG – then reciprocal space closure
3. Band 2nd molars from the beginning
4. Intrude the incisors to level the COS
![Page 56: Roth's Prescription / orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052405/577cc9ce1a28aba711a4aaeb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Expansion with the Quadhelix
• Quadhelix can be used to correct molar rotation
• Mild buccal expansion– Buccinator mechanism and buccal musculature
retract the 1st molars ----- ???
– Truncated cone effect - used in Crozat appliance

The Roth Rx Dr. Punit Thawani
Upper arch
• Upper arch treatment slightly behind the lower
arch
• When lower arch is in 21 x 25 SS – and upper in
