Abstract
The physical terms used in relation to mandibular movement were explained. The differences between the resultants of functional and nonfunctional mandibular movements were compared and found to be dissimilar. A working model, devised by Boswell, was explained to show the differences that occlusal pitch made in stability of the lower denture. The physics involved in functional mandibular movement should be basis for the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth used in full denture construction rather than the acceptance of an idealized occlusion based on nonfunctional movements.
