Statistical Study on Complication of Occlusal Trauma and CMD (Craniomandibular disorders) of Adult Periodontitis

Abstract

Although it is a widely accepted notion that craniomandibular disorders (CMD) and occlusal trauma do not arise simultaneously, occlusal trauma is seen in daily clinical treatment where teeth are in premature contact or have occlusal interferences. In addition, there are no small number of cases where CMD arises as a complication. This study carried out clinical investigations on cases where occlusal trauma was associated with CMD in order to better understand this situation.
