occlusal interference
occlusal contact that interrupts the harmonious closure of the teeth along the CR arc
occlusal prematurity
An interference between posterior teeth on the side of the dental arches to which the mandible is moving laterally in excursion, usually involving a stamp cusp against a shear cusp. Synonym: Laterotrusive Interference.

An interference between posterior teeth on ether side of the dental arches caused by a protrusive movement of the mandible.
protrusive intereference
An interference involving exclusively a maxillary lateral incisor against its opponent during a lateral protrusive excursion of the mandible.

•Goal: A comfortable occlusion
_______ __________is designed to eliminate all premature or deflective tooth contacts that prevent the condyle-disk assembly from complete seating in their respective fossa (centric relation) when the jaw closes to maximum intercuspation (MIP).
proper equilibration
Maximum distribution of occlusal stress in centric relation.
Forces of occlusion should be borne as much as possible by the long axis of the teeth.
