[edit] Somewhat circular definition

The first sentence definition seems a bit circular: "Occlusal trauma is a dental term that refers to the damage incurred when teeth are left in traumatic occlusion without proper treatment." Traumatic occlusion is explained a couple paragraphs later, but in the interests of providing a self-contained definition, perhaps the part about "traumatic occlusion" could be added to or replaced with a succinct explanation of what that means. A replacement might be something like "...incurred when teeth are detrimentally misaligned without proper treatment," if that's accurate. -Agyle 06:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
