The study was aimed to investigate the effects of the occlusal contacts on chewing movements according to the changes of the mandibular first molar crown surfaces in 32 young adults. The study includes three components of the experiments as the control, various types of occlusal contact defects and the excessive conditions of occlusal surface contacts on the tooth. The chewing movement consistency was tested in the control study. The effects of the occlusal contact defects to the chewing movements, i.e., a periodontal mechanoreceptive defect (sensory block), a complete defect of coronal contact, partial defects (buccal or lingual cusp and inclination) of coronal surface, were then examined. Third, the effects of the occlusal deflective interference provided for the subjected tooth to the chewing movement was examined as the experiment in the excessive condition. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The consistency of segmental single tooth chewing movements was tested in the control study and revealed highly reliable among parameters of intra-day variance, but not enough for the inter-day variance in each subject. 2. The effects of occlusal contact defects were significant to the path and the rhythm of chewing movements in a poriodontal mechanoreceptive defect, complete coronal defect, cusp and inclination defects. 3. The effects of deflective occlusal interference were significant in the parameters, such as posterior deviation during closing path and inferior deviation of occluding point, prolonged duration in the closing phase, and shortening of duration in the occluding phase. It is suggested that either the occlusal defects or the interference conditions on one side of the first mandibular molar tooth may provide some effects to the chewing movements, and that appropriate occlusal contacts for the tooth may serve to maintain stabilized the path and the rhythm during chewing movements.
