  • Title: The role of occlusion in periodontal disease.
    Author: Walton G, Heasman P.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1998 Jun; 25(5):209-10, 212-4, 216. PubMed ID: 18170956.
    Abstract:
    Observations made from animal experiments have implicated jiggling forces' in the aetiology of some infra-bony defects. However, this article develops the hypothesis that advanced, localized bone defects may develop when teeth are overloaded and that these changes occur in patients who suffer from only a mild gingival inflammation.
