Abstract：Occlusal factors occupy an important position in etiology and pathology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Because curve of Spee(COS)is an important morphological characteristic to describe occlusion,and a key in-dex to evaluate vertical position of three-dimensional structure of biomechanical properties of occlusion ,the research and analysis of relativity between COS and TMD have always been an advanced topic of stomatology. This article intro-dues the analysis of the relativity between COS and TMD from basic function,morphological characteristics and various influence factors of COS,and it also summarizes the existing problems of research mode and gives direction for further research.
