Description
Irena Bogatinovska and Irena Gavrilovikj compare how teeth meet in two kinds of bad bite in this 2026 study. One kind has the upper teeth pushed far forward; the other has the lower jaw set ahead. The team used digital scans of the mouth, rather than paper or foil, to count and map every contact point between teeth.
They scanned sixty adults who had not yet had treatment, thirty in each group. The forward-lower-jaw group had more molar contacts at a small set gap. The other group had more full-surface contacts, yet also more molars that never touched at all. The authors say exact digital maps like these can help dentists plan treatment for each mouth, rather than by rule of thumb.
