Selective Grinding in Prosthodontics

Aim: The primary goal is to obtain Balanced Bilateral Occlusion (BBO) without causing changes to the Centric Relation (CR) or Vertical Dimension (VD).

Objectives of Occlusal Adjustment

• Achieve stability and maximum distribution of forces.
• Maintain the Vertical Dimension (VD).
• Ensure occlusal harmony and sharp cusps.
• Reduce lateral forces.

Rules for Correcting Premature Contacts

• Tooth movement causing a high cusp: For premature contact, lower the opposing fossa.
