The purpose of this study is to clarify whether the state of occlusal contact on lateral excursion is related to the pattern of masticatory movement path. The masticatory movement during mastication of softened chewing gum and the occlusal contact on lateral sliding of the mandible by 1 mm (L1), 2 mm (L2) and 3 mm (L3) were recorded in 50 healthy subjects. The path of masticatory movement was classified into one of seven patterns. The number of teeth involved in the occlusal contact in each pattern was investigated and compared among different lateral occlusal positions. The occlusal contact was then classified into 15 types based on one or a combination of the following four regions; incisal region, canine region, premolar region and molar region. The number of occlusal contact type for each pattern was investigated and compared among patterns. The number of teeth involved in occlusal contact decreased as the degree of lateral excursion increased, and significant differences were observed among the lateral occlusal positions (P < 0.001). The occlusal contact tended to decrease in the molar region and increase in the canine or premolar regions as the degree of the lateral excursion increased. When comparing among patterns, significant differences were observed at L2 and L3 (L2; P < 0.001, L3; P = 0.030) but not at L1 (P = 0.318). The difference was remarkable at L2. It was suggested that the state of occlusal contact at L2 and L3, particularly at L2 was related to the masticatory path pattern.

D008409 Mastication The act and process of chewing and grinding food in the mouth. Chewing
D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
D010512 Periodontal Index A numerical rating scale for classifying the periodontal status of a person or population with a single figure which takes into consideration prevalence as well as severity of the condition. It is based upon probe measurement of periodontal pockets and on gingival tissue status.

D003766 Dental Occlusion The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.
