title: Distribution of different types of occlusal contacts at maximal intercuspal position in deciduous dentition.
abstract: Since there is a lack of standardization of occlusal contacts for deciduous dentition, this study assessed distribution and different types of occlusal contacts at maximal intercuspal position in children from 4 to 5 1/2 years, with normal occlusion, finding a pattern able to be used as a reference for dentists during the rehabilitation of these children, and suitable for development of the craniofacial complex.
