Abstract

This chapter serves as a visual exposition of the occlusal relationships and their appearance when captured by means of a mandibular kinesiograph. Its primary objective is to guide the reader from a traditional outlook on occlusion toward the implementation of the neuromuscular principles that underlie dynamic occlusion. It is essential to adopt this contemporary approach to comprehending dental occlusion, as it allows for an understanding of the underlying physiological aspects that are not manifest in cases of malocclusion. Theoretical concepts of the neuromuscular theory are elucidated with the help of pertinent examples that are presented in a graphical format to facilitate a more lucid comprehension of the same.
