Occlusion: I. Terms, mandibular movement and the factors of occlusion.
This short series of three papers will review the relationship between mandibular movement and tooth morphology during function and dysfunction. ICP, RCP and long centric are discussed as is a description of mandibular excursions. Incisal guidance, condylar guidance, sagittal curve of Spee and lateral curve of Monson are inter-linked to illustrate how these factors of occlusion influence occlusal anatomy.
