Sažetak
Despite numerous studies of the subject conducted so far, the occurrence of pathologic abrasion has not yet been fuMy clarified in all its aspects. The causes associated with the masticatory system dynamics, i. e. greater or lasser masticatory forces as well as individually higher or lower resistance of hard dental tissues to abrasion, may be the major factors for the onset of this lesion. As our attempt was to provide answers to at least some of the mentioned
qgustions, this study was directed towards finding the causal relationship between the magnitude of masticatory forces and the occurrence of pathologic abrasion. The gmathodynamometric testing was therefore carried out in a representative sample of subjects presenting with clinical picture of pathologic abrasion. The control group consisted of male subjects aged 18— 22 years, with intact, complete sets of teeth. The results, recorded in special po II questionnaires, were statistically processed and comprehensivevly scientifically analyzed. On the basis of the results obtained, the mean masticatory force values in the subjects with pathologic abrasion were found to be apparently lower than those observed in the control group subjects, whereas in patients with bmx'ism and parafu notional occlusion the masticatory forces were higher than the mean walues of these forces in the total sample of subjects with pathologic abrasion.
