title: [Temporomandibular joint diagnosis and therapy in complete denture wearers. Case demonstration of preprosthetic treatment].
abstract: A physiological relation between discuss and condyle in the temporar-mandibular-joint and an individual vertical dimension are important for TMJ-function without derangement. The loss of teeth and so the loss of vertical dimension safed by natural way result to a high percentage in disturbance of the masticatory system. The aim for patients with full dentures is to realize a physiological reference position in the TM-Joint and to reinstall their individual vertical dimension. The systematic treatment should be shown by a case report.
