what is stable occlusion
- Stable holding contacts on all teeth when the condyles are in centric relation.
- Anterior guidance in harmony with the envelope of function.
- Immediate disclusion of all posterior teeth the moment the mandible moves forward of centric relation.
- Immediate disclusion of all posterior teeth on the non working side…
- Non-interference of all posterior teeth on the working side with either the lateral anterior guidance or the border moyements of the condyles (immediate disclusion is ideal if achievable).
