Prosthodontics MCQ Answer 8

Thursday, February 01, 2001

The answer is: D

The study of occlusion can historically be broadly categorized into three categories:

-Bilaterally Balanced

-Group Function

-Mutually Protected

Recently, the emphasis in teaching fixed prosthodontics and restorative dentistry has been placed on the concept of mutually protected occlusion. More recent investigations that focus on the neuromuscular physiology of the masticatory apparatus are supportive of the advantages associated with a mutually protected occlusal scheme. A subset of this scheme would be canine guidance or cuspid rise.
