Abstract　： [Abstract] Many opinions have been put forward in medical literature during the past century regarding the relationship between occlusion factors, especially sleep bruxism, and oral diseases, but the matter is still controversial. The purpose of this review is to introduce recent research regarding occlusion and oral diseases, such as periodontal diseases, non-carious cervical lesions, and temporomandibular disorders. We applied a simple device called a BruxChecker and examined the relationship between occlusion contact patterns during sleep and the prevalence of oral diseases. We concluded that there is a correlation between the prevalence of these diseases and occlusion contact patterns during sleep. We believe that occlusion contact patterns should be considered in daily treatment. [Introduction] In daily practice, most dentists treat patients suffering from periodontal diseases, dental carious, non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). It is well known that the cause of carious dental and periodontal diseases is related to certain bacterial factors.
