Sažetak

The occlusal tooth contacts in maximum intercuspidation (centric occlusion) were analyzed in 74 subjects, aged 16 to 19, with complete natural eugnathic dentitions. Using articulation paper, 39.76 marks were determined on the posterior teeth o f both jaws. In regard to the sagittal plane, a symmetry o f equal number o f tooth contacts on the left and right side was observed. In females, the number of occlusal contacts was statistically greater than the number o f contacts in males. The greatest number o f occlusal marks in centric occlusion was found in the region of the first and second molars. The distribution and frequency of contacts at occlusal surfaces o f all posterior teeth are also described.
