CRANIOMANDIBULAR DYSFUNCTION DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE TEETH AND REHABILITATION BY RESTORING VERTICAL DIMENSION

In a dentate subject a jaw relation can either be determined in maximum intercuspation and is as such given by the occlusal morphology, or the mandibular position can be allocated according to the centric position of the condyles [1]. For comprehensive restorative treatment or analytic measures of the occlusion it is important to record the centric condylar position. The centric condylar position not only plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of the myofacial pain dysfunction syndrome, it is also essential for a comprehensive restorative treatment. The aim of the study was to ascertain centric condylar position using additional studies of CT scans, Zebris Jaw Function system.
