This presentation brings the concept of orthopedic stability presented in lecture #3 (part 1) into the precise role of
occlusion as an etiologic factor of temporomandibular disorders. Dr. Okeson discusses two considerations that help
explain how the occlusal condition may relate to TMD. He separates the role of occlusion in muscle disorders from the
role of occlusion in intracapsular disorders. Understanding these concepts helps the clinician better appreciate how
the patient’s TMD complaint may or may not relate to the occlusal condition. Understanding these concepts also gives
the clinician the insight needed to develop an appropriate treatment plan. This presentation puts occlusion into its
proper perspective in the practice of dentistry and in the management of TMD patients.
