| Popis: |
The craniofacial skeletal complex has one movable bone, the mandible. The mandibular movements are made possible by the temporomandibular joint and the facial muscles. The mandibular movements are affected by various etiological factors which can be congenital and acquired. During replacement of missing teeth, recording maxillomandibular relation often poses a difficulty. Restoring exact vertical dimension and centric relation contributes to a harmonious occlusion. Various methods of recording mandibular movements are available. |
