title: Occlusion--time to reflect? A personal view.
abstract: The topic of occlusion presents a conundrum to many practitioners. To some the topic is very complex and yet to others, although important, it illustrates how adaptive the dentition is to change. This commentary presents some arguments as to how the importance of occlusion and its understanding have evolved since the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation was first published.
