MASTICATORY STRESSES IN NORMAL AND MODIFIED OCCLUSION

D. J. ANDERSON PH.D., M.SC., B.D.S.1 and D. C. A. PICTON B.D.S., F.D.S., R.C.S. (ENG.)1

1. Masticatory loads recorded on a lower first molar tooth in 4 subjects during unilateral chewing of bread show a great similarity between those on the chewing side and those on the empty side of the mouth.

2. With the recording apparatus and tooth surface artificially raised above the general occlusal level by about 0.5 mm., the loads are at the most twice the normal. This is much less than would be expected if no force-regulating mechanism were operating.

3. With the recording apparatus lowered by about 0.5 mm., the pattern and magnitude of the loads differs markedly from normal.
