Sažetak

The influence of occlusion on the occurrence of sound in the temporomandibular joint had not been complately proved.
The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect of type of occlusion on the occurrence of sounds in the TMJ.
A group of 96 subjects, aged from 24-52 years (x = 35.03 ± 6.92) was examined. The type of occlusion was dentermined by clinical examination. Depending on the contacts on the laterotrusal and mediotrusal side the subjects were categorized into three groups (canine guided occlusion, group function and balanced occlusion). The existence of sounds was registred by means of a clinical examination and auscultation by stethoscope.
In the examined group 70.83% of examinees had canine guidance, 16.66 % group function and 12.5 % balanced occlusion. Temporomandibular joint sound was present in 41.6 % of subjects. The results of the statistical analysis (Pearson ?2) shows no statistically significant difference between these 3 groups (?2 = 2.09 p = 0.351).
The results of this study suggest that the type of occlusion does not have an influence on the occurrence of sound in the TMJ.
