The Role of Bite Block in Dentistry
😫 Keeping the mouth open for a longer duration, not everyone's cup of ☕
Why is it difficult 🤔?
- Depressor muscles
(mainly the inferior belly of the lateral pterygoid) functions to open the mouth.
However it gets tiresome quickly🤕
- Solution
Use a bite block🚧!
- Benefits:
Activates elevator muscles
✨ Temporalis, Masseter, Medial pterygoid
✨ These muscles are larger and more numerous preventing fatigue
✨ Keeps patients comfortable and prevents mouth closure during procedures.

I have a doubt about crown clearance sir. 1. What is the minimum occusal clearance needed for zirconia and what is the minimum clearance need for metal? 2. Is the metal and zirconia have same minimum clearance in functional, non functional cusp and grooves? 3. For patent with minimum clearance which would be best metal or zirconia?
Absolutely true
Yes Doc! Agreed with you! Let's use what God gave us. ❤
