Abstract

The longevity of dental restorations like fillings, crowns, and bridges is critically influenced by occlusal forces exerted during biting and chewing. These forces vary among individuals based on diet, masticatory habits, and the structural soundness of the dental arch and can range from 11 to over 450 Newtons, depending on circumstances. The choice of restorative material is important for withstanding these forces. While amalgam is durable, modern dentistry has shifted towards aesthetic restoratives such as composite resins and ceramics. However, these materials respond differently to occlusal forces. Ceramics might fracture under excess load, whereas composite resins resist wear but can degrade over time due to other factors. Precision in restoration is crucial to preventing undue occlusal forces that might lead to restoration failure. Tools like T-scan assist in this precision. The manner and distribution of occlusal forces, along with the health of the periodontal ligament, are critical for restoration durability. Bruxism, a parafunctional habit, can significantly impact restorations, necessitating protective measures like occlusal splints and patient education. The interplay of occlusal forces and the chosen restorative material greatly affects the success and lifespan of dental restorations.
