Relationship between Occlusion Patterns in Lateral Movement with Some Periodontal Parameters in Patients with Moderate to Severe Periodontitis

Abstract

Aim: Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral disease which without control leads to alveolar bone destruction and mobility of tooth. It has also emotional and social problems. Many factors are involved in beginning and progression of the periodontal disease. One of the important factors is unsuitable and destruction occlusion pattern. So, the aim of the current study was to determine relationship between occlusion patterns in lateral movement with some periodontal parameters in patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. Materials & Method: In this study, 31 patients (19 female and 12 male) with moderate to severe evaluated for occlusion pattern, aspect occlusion pattern were determined using Boucher classification as anterior group function (AGF), canine rise (CR), partial group function (PGF) and total group function (TGF). Then clinical attachment loss (CAL), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and interdental bone destruction patterns were measured. Then the findings at 4 occlusion groups were measured in working side on AGF and CR occlusion patterns. Results: According to the findings, the mean CAL and PD in PGF and TGF were more than CAL, PD in CR and AGF occlusion patterns. In more than 80 percent of the occlusion patterns, bleeding on probing was observed and dominant bone destruction was horizontal. The mean CAL and PD in central and lateral AGF occlusion patterns was more than VAL and PS in premolar, molar and canine. In PGF occlusion pattern, the man CAL and PD in posterior teeth was more than mean CAL and PD in central and canine. Conclusion: These results suggested CAL, PD was less than other occlusion patterns. Also, these parameters on occlusion patterns of the posterior teeth were less in disclusion type.
