The Masticatory Organ: Functions and Dysfunctions

Author:

• Rudolf Slavicek

Description:

The development of the human masticatory organ, from embryonic development to a morphologically complete functional unit of mature permanent dentition and related structures, is fascinatingly logical, and an extremely unpredictable event. Function and dysfunction are very closely related but not connected with the concepts of eugnathia and dysgnathia.

One of the most important ideological and conceptual errors in dentistry is based on the dogmatic declaration of a fictitious goal, namely an ideal eugnathia, which is exalted to the Holy Grail of dental medicine.
