Occlusal Load Distribution and Periodontal Status

NCT07199062 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Occlusal forces are unevenly distributed among teeth during mastication, potentially predisposing certain teeth to higher functional loads. Teeth subjected to increased occlusal loading may be at greater risk of periodontal breakdown, especially in patients with pre-existing periodontal disease.

Technological advances, such as mandibular movement recording systems, allow for precise assessment of occlusal contacts and load distribution. However, the relationship between occlusal loading patterns and periodontal status remains insufficiently investigated.

This study aims to evaluate whether teeth exposed to higher masticatory loads show an association with periodontal disease severity.
