Occlusion in fixed partial denture

The goal of Prosthodontic treatment is to create occlusal contacts in posterior teeth that stabilize instead of creating deflective contacts that may destabilize the mandibular position. The occlusion in a restoration should be made in harmony with the optimum condylar position centric relation: an anteriorly superiorly braced position along the articular eminence of the glenoid fossa with the articular disc interposed between the condyle and eminence.The science of occlusion is individual centered. The dentist should recognize a wide range of adaptation that allows successful treatment with diverse occlusal theories
