Sintesi	Occlusal analysis is a systematic clinical and instrumental examination that evaluates the relationships between the maxillary and mandibular teeth, the temporomandibular joint, and the muscles of mastication. Comprehensive occlusal analysis informs diagnosis of malocclusion, temporomandibular disorders, and guides prosthodontic and orthodontic treatment planning. The analysis integrates static occlusal relationships (centric relation, centric occlusion) with dynamic occlusal patterns (jaw movements) to assess functional harmony and identify occlusal interferences.	Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) analysis is a systematic clinical assessment and imaging evaluation of the jaw joint, including the articular disc, condyle, and associated musculature. TMJ analysis evaluates joint function, detects dysfunction (TMD), and guides diagnosis and treatment planning for jaw pain, clicking, locking, and limited opening. Comprehensive assessment integrates clinical examination with imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, cone-beam computed tomography) to characterize joint status and tailor treatment.
