Hello
Occlusal trauma is an injury to the periodontium resulting from occlusal forces that exceeds the reparative capacity of the attachment apparatus. Trauma from occlusion is tissue injury due to distorted occlusion.
An occlusion that produces such injury is called a traumatic occlusion.

Trauma from occlusion means when you bite your upper and lower teeth come in contact with each other in normal state but sometimes sharp edges or cusps of your tooth hinders your occlusion. This applies pressure on teeth or tooth which results in pain.

Hi..
Trauma from occlusion means when your teeth and surrounding tissues around teeth face more than required force from opposite teeth or the whole arch.
That can be because of anything like any restoration/crown, size and shape of teeth, alignment of teeth, your bone structure , your habits like grinding teeth etc.
And depending upon the causes there are treatments available for same.
