VIII. Bruxism and Occlusal pattern<br />

1. Compensation curves and Dis<strong>occlusion</strong><br />

Note:The curve of the canine is not a curve of Wilson .<br />

Several compensation curves exist in the dental <strong>occlusion</strong>. These are<br />

closely related to the cusp contact according to the grinding movement of<br />

the mandible. Curve of Spee is called sagittal compensating curve. A strong<br />

curve increases the possibility of molar contacts. Curve of Wilson is called<br />

lateral compensating curve. A strong curve of Wilson increases the<br />

possibility of non-working side contacts.<br />
