The Function of Teeth (Book & DVD)
This book and DVD companion describe and explain major findings of a
22-year active research era. For the first time, a clear understanding
of how people use their teeth during chewing is related to the graphic
jaw movement recordings used for designing and adjusting the condylar
controls of articulators. It welcomes the renewed interest in natural
tooth form of the posterior teeth pertinent to the location of the
forces generated within the chewing cycle and the stability of the
joints. It supports the proprioceptive and esthetic role of the
anterior teeth. Over 200 illustrations including patient treatment
examples.
The 2-hour DVD, which supplements material in the text, relates total
jaw movement to both anterior and posterior teeth building a foundation
for understanding the principles of occlusion and reasons for restoring
the teeth to natural, esthetic form.
