| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum morphology of occlusal facets from the view point of harmony with jaw movements. Results were as follows.
1. Occlusal reference surfaces, proposed by Mima, were applicable not only single path but also multiple pathes of jaw movements.
2. Four types of occlusal reference surfaces were defined by using the trajectories of lateral, retrusive and protrusive sliding movements. The harmonious occlusal facets with these occlusal reference surfaces produced no considerable interference with jaw movement during the forth and fifth phases of the chewing cycle.
3. We proposed to evaluate occlusal facets quantitatively by using inclination angle and M (D) value corresponding with azimuth angle. This evaluating method was significant in comparison of occlusal reference surfaces to occlusal facets of subjects.
4. Lateral excurisions were measured by using a jaw tracking device (MM-JI) with experimental M type and D type lateral tooth guidances on canine teeth. D type lateral tooth guidance led more posterior path way of working condylar point than M type lateral tooth guidance. This suggested that D type guidance may cause overload in temporomandibular joint.
