Abstract:
A new method for quantitative occlusal measurement is presented. In this study occlusal contact areas in 79 patients with or without temporomandibular joint symptoms were assessed from the simple wax bite. The area of occlusion has showed no distinct differences between the two groups. The occlusal contacts did not show any significant correlations with temporomandibular joint dysfunctions.
