Masticatory System—A Review
摘要
The primary function of prosthetic restoration is to keep the function of the mouth healthy. That must be achieved through complete harmony between the masticatory system and the restoration. Prosthodontists should have a clear understanding of how the masticatory system functions. That encompasses knowing the muscles’ origins, insertions, movements, and functional and para-functional activities to understand the prosthetic restorations’ influences on these muscles. This review aimed to refresh the knowledge of the prosthodontists about the masticatory systems, including hard and soft tissues, and give ideas about their relationship to prosthetic restorations.
