[The diagnosis of functionally induced disturbances in the region of the masticatory apparatus (author's transl)].
Functionally induced disturbances in the region of the masticatory apparatus are frequently due to occlusal interferences. The clinical investigation must not, however, be limited to testing the occlusion of the teeth alone; it includes the examination of the muscles of mastication and the mandibular joint. The exact investigation of the occlusion is performed by instrumental analysis of function. It is the method of choice for determining the position of the mandible. A recording of the findings ought to suggest the technical methods of investigation on which the diagnosis is based.
