Abstract

Purpose: We gathered data and evaluated the conditions associated with patients with occlusal discomfort at multiple institutions. Subjects and Methods: A total of 202 outpatients were recruited, and 180 patients were selected for further evaluation. We designed a questionnaire and analyzed the parameters of sex, age, illness duration, chief complaint, tooth, affected part and state of occlusal discomfort, and past dental treatment before consultation. Results: There were 143 female and 37 male patients, with a median age of 55.0 (42.0, 65.0) years. The median illness duration was 5 (1, 13) months. The most common chief complaint was contact of the intercuspal position. Although the site of occlusal discomfort was often the molars, at times it also presented in the incisors. Additionally, occlusal discomfort was experienced in various parts, not only on one side but also on both sides, and many patients experienced discomfort in their full dental arch. Although metallic prostheses for teeth often cause occlusal discomfort, there were also many cases of occlusal discomfort with natural teeth. In the past, the most common treatment was prosthetic dental care. Conclusion: Although the sex and median age of the patients were the same as those in previous reports, the duration of illness varied. The patients experienced occlusal discomfort not only in the treated teeth but also in the natural teeth of various parts.
