Occlusion
occlusion[ə′klü·zhən] (anatomy) The relationship of the masticatory surfaces of the maxillary teeth to the masticatory surfaces of the mandibular teeth when the jaws are closed. (computer science) In computer vision, the obstruction of a view. (engineering) The retention of undissolved gas in a solid during solidification. (medicine) A closing or shutting up. (meteorology) occluded front (physics) Adhesion of gas or liquid on a solid mass, or the trapping of a gas or liquid within a mass. (physiology) The deficit in muscular tension when two afferent nerves that share certain motor neurons in the central nervous system are stimulated simultaneously, as compared to the sum of tensions when the two nerves are stimulated separately. Occlusion the absorption of a substance from a gaseous medium by solids or melts. During occlusion, gases are absorbed by the entire volume of the absorbent rather than by the surface layer. In this sense, occlusion is similar to absorption, which is the dissolution of gases in liquids. The most common type of occlusion involves the absorption of gases by metals; for example, hydrogen is occluded by metals of Group VIII of the periodic table of elements. At room temperature, one volume of iridium absorbs more than 800 volumes of hydrogen, and one volume of palladium absorbs more than 700 volumes of hydrogen. The occluded gas interacts with the metal to form a solid solution; sometimes a part of the gas combines with the metal to yield other chemical compounds, for example, hydrides and nitrides.
Occlusion (also bite), the relationship between the surfaces of the upper and lower teeth when in contact. The various forms of occlusion are established only when all the permanent teeth are present. With normal occlusion, each upper tooth, except the central incisors and the wisdom teeth, must touch the corresponding bottom tooth and the tooth behind it when the jaws are in contact. The sagittal surface passes between the central incisors of the upper and lower jaws. There are four types of physiological occlusion. With orthognathous occlusion, the front teeth of the upper jaw cover the corresponding teeth of the lower jaw. Biprognathous occlusion is similar but with a more pronounced slant forward of the upper and lower teeth and of the alveolar processes. With a straight bite, the front teeth close on the edges of the incisors, and with an opisthognathous bite, the front teeth of both upper and lower jaws are inclined backward. Pathological occlusion, which includes overbite, decreases the chewing efficiency of the teeth. It may be a congenital anomaly of development of the dentomaxillary system or a result of tooth removal or jaw disease or injury. REFERENCESGavrilov, E. I., and I. M. Al’shits.

The acquired or congenital closure, or state of being closed, of a passage. Synonym: imperforation2. Alignment of the mandibular and maxillary teeth when the jaw is closed or in functional contact. Synonym: dental occlusion See: malocclusion3.

The opposing teeth may be artificial or natural. arterial occlusionA blockage of blood flow through an artery. It may be acute or chronic and occurs, for example, in coronary or in peripheral arteries. Patients with acute arterial occlusion have severe pain (as in angina pectoris), decreased or absent pulses, and mottling of the skin of an affected extremity. The occlusion is removed and blood flow restored if possible. balanced occlusionThe ideal and equal contact of the teeth of the working side of the jaw by the complementary contact of the teeth on the opposite side of the jaw. Synonym: balanced bitecentral retinal artery occlusion Abbreviation: CRAO Blockage of blood flow to the retina (that is, to the central retinal artery or one of its branches), resulting in sudden visual loss. The condition usually affects one eye. When the retinal artery is blocked by a blood clot, early thrombolysis sometimes provides sight-preserving therapy. EtiologyCRAO is typically caused by a tiny embolus that lodges in the retinal circulation. It usually occurs in people with high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, cardiac valve disease, or atrial fibrillation, which predispose to atherosclerosis or arterial embolization. Other causes include inflammatory or autoimmune diseases affecting the circulation (arteritis), clotting disorders, hyperlipidemia, injected drugs or contaminants, and tumor metastases. centric occlusionIn dentistry, the vertical and horizontal position of the mandible that produces maximal interdigitation of the cusps of the maxillary and mandibular teeth. This is the ideal position or type of occlusion.

Examples: vision with an occluder, a vessel with an embolus. occlusion amblyopia See amblyopia; occlusion treatment. o nystagmus See occlusion nystagmus. punctal occlusion Sealing of the lacrimal punctum, temporarily (e.g. with a plastic plug) or permanently (e.g. by heat cauterization), to preserve the natural tears or prolong the effect of artificial tears. This method is commonly used in the management of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Occasionally a plug made of collagen is used prior to insertion of a more permanent type of punctal plug, because it dissolves within a week. This is done to determine whether permanent or semi-permanent occlusion (as with a silicone plug) is likely to succeed. See neurotrophic keratopathy. retinal arterial occlusion See retinal arterial occlusion. retinal vein occlusion See retinal vein occlusion. occlusion test See cover test. occlusion treatment A method of treating amblyopia or strabismus by covering the good eye. Such a method is most effective below the age of four years and with little effect after the age of nine years, that is beyond the critical period of development. However, this technique must be used with caution as prolonged occlusion in very young children can lead to a reversal of eye dominance in which the previously good eye becomes amblyopic (called occlusion amblyopia). Moreover, it has been shown that the effect of occlusion does not improve beyond six hours at a time. Alternate occlusion is preferred as both eyes are thus stimulated. Syn. patching See form-deprivation myopia; penalization; critical period; pleoptics.oc·clu·sion (ŏ-klū'zhŭn) 1. The act of closing or the state of being closed. 2. Any contact between the incising or masticating surfaces of upper and lower teeth. 3. Relationship between occlusal surfaces of maxillary and mandibular teeth when in contact.
