Abstract

This chapter will emphasise the need to:

  • Provide restorations in harmony with a patient’s occlusion

  • Check if patients who require extra-coronal restorations have one or more existing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) or a history of them

  • Appreciate that some patients are susceptible to developing TMDs, but the cause is not usually related to the occlusion

  • Take care in making occlusal changes because patients with a history of TMDs can react with pain and discomfort

  • Diagnose and manage existing symptoms of TMDs before embarking on extra-coronal restorations

  • Be aware of patients who complain of occlusal problems but for which there is no underlying occlusal cause. These patients may require specialist management.
