Occlusal Analysis in Gurugram
When worn teeth are being restored, assessing how the upper and lower teeth meet can help plan contacts and available space. Jaw records or models can support that decision, but they do not decide treatment by themselves. Dr. Supreet Kaur Sawhney, MDS in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, is a Senior Consultant and Senior Implantologist with 20+ years of experience.

What occlusal analysis means
Occlusion means how the upper and lower teeth contact when the jaws meet. In restorative planning, a dentist may consider these contacts alongside tooth wear, available space and the proposed restoration.

This is an assessment aid. A contact pattern or mounted model (models of the upper and lower teeth arranged to show their contact) by itself does not establish a diagnosis of a jaw disorder or decide that teeth need irreversible adjustment.
What records can contribute
For significant tooth wear, the dentist may take jaw records or models and examine how the upper and lower teeth meet. A planning preview of proposed restorations can help show possible changes in bite height and appearance before treatment is chosen.
Sources
Whether records or a preview are useful depends on the wear pattern and the proposed restoration. The examination and the person's history remain part of the interpretation; records are not a stand-alone test.

Limits and next steps
The purpose is to help plan a specific restorative question, not to promise a particular result or prescribe routine bite adjustment. The dentist can explain what each record adds and what decision remains after review.

If the underlying dental problem involves severe or persistent pain or increasing mouth swelling, seek prompt dental assessment. Uncontrolled mouth bleeding or swelling that affects breathing needs emergency medical care.
If the findings call for coordinated restoration across several teeth, see full-mouth rehabilitation for the wider planning choices.
