It is a clinical concept used in dentistry to describe how \u201cbite\u201d forces can contribute to tooth mobility, discomfort, or changes in the supporting bone. It is most commonly discussed in periodontics (gum and bone support), occlusion (how teeth meet), and restorative dentistry. It does not mean an infection; it refers to mechanical stress and the body\u2019s response to it."}
