| The Function of Teeth describes and explains major findings of a 22-year active research era. A clear understanding of how people use their teeth during chewing is presented. For the first time, this knowledge 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, mostly colored, including some patient treatment examples, represent the principles described in the book. |
