Sažetak
An over-early occlusive contact causes periodontal impairments known as direct occlusive trauma. The examination of patients with the diagnosis of periodontal impairments at the point of the over-early occlusive contact has shown that periodontal impairments also frequently occur at more distant points of dentition as a result of indirect occlusive trauma. The frequency and the intensity of these impairments were investigated in 60 patients with direct occlusive trauma, by the analysis of masticatory system function and the registration of periodontal indexes. The results have shown that 47% of patients with indirect occlusive trauma effects have periodontal impairments which are more expressed at the point of indirect effect of occlusive trauma and which are characterized by deeper periodontal sockets, a higher resorption of the alveolar bone and a higher mobility of the teeth. Such a high number of impairments shows the great importance of the diagnosis of the over-early occlusive contact, since the effects occurring on distant points of dentition can be prevented or stopped only by the elimination of this
contact.
