For me, occlusal disease is like ergonomics of the oral cavity.   If
you don't use it, you don't have to worry.  Wear, tear, compensation.

Everything wears and wear shows up differently for different people.
Maybe the right phase should be occlusal ergonomics.

My book tries to discuss this, and it is available  also  as an ebook
at only $6.

Occlusal ergonomics has implications for bone loss, cracked teeth,
bruxism, tmj pain, root canals, decay, broken fillings and possibly
sleep apnea.
