Effect of altered occlusal guidance on lateral border movement of the mandible.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a change in the lateral anterior guidance pathway on the lateral border movement pathway of mandible. The results showed that altered occlusal guidance reproducibly and reversibly changed (increased) the lateral border movement area in two subjects who had unilaterally restricted lateral border movements.
