  • Occluding surfaces of teeth determine the total surface area accessible for grinding and shearing of food during every single cycle of chewing.1 Minimum total of teeth required for functional demands of mastication are 8 premolars and 4 molars.2 1st molars provide greatest effective occlusal contact area that is 36.7% for masticatory performance.
