TOOTH CONTACT DURING CHEWING

D. J. ANDERSON PH.D., M.SC., B.D.S.1 and D. C. A. PICTON B.D.S.1

1 Physiological Laboratory and Dental Department, Guy's Hospital, London, England

1. Contact between opposing teeth during chewing was recorded electrically in 10 subjects with 5 food materials.

2. The results confirm the hitherto unsupported assumption by many periodontologists that the teeth make contact during chewing.

3. The teeth came into contact for more than one half the chewing thrusts in most subjects. In some subjects every thrust made contact, but this was never the case with biscuit.

4. The results strongly suggest that when contact occurred it was centric occlusal contact over the entire arch.
