What is Cervical Stress

Chapter 9
Handbook of Research on Computerized Occlusal Analysis Technology Applications in Dental Medicine
The resultant vectored deformation in the cervical regions of teeth upon the hydroxyapetite crystal arrangement, in response to tensile and/or compressive force applied on the tooth’s occlusal surface. Adequate periodontal bone levels assist in the tooth’s deformation by resisting the applied occlusal load, inducing the tooth to accommodate the load by flexing.

Abstract
This chapter introduces the Air Indexing method for detecting and quantifying cervical dentin hypersensitivity as a companion to the T-Scan Occlusal Analysis System, which evaluates occlusal force and timing values of contacting teeth. The chapter discusses detection, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical signs and/or symptoms of Cervical Dentin Hypersensitivity (CDH). A 17-year-long retrospective study conducted between 1979 and 1996 is presented that illustrates the correlation between Cervical Dentin Hypersensitivity and its resolution following occlusal adjustment. Resulting stress from occlusal contact force is etiologic for non-carious cervical lesion formation and root degradation. This chapter details how biocorrosion and lost protective glycoproteins hasten the effects of applied force, creating CDH symptoms and cervical abfractions. Lastly, the Air Indexing method of CDH diagnosis is melded with T-Scan occlusal analysis to diagnose and treat CDH symptoms. Together, these two methods yield more CDH/occlusal insight than either method can alone.
