Correction of the chewing cycle is an important part of
occlusal finalization. It must be understood that the chewing
cycle is different on the each side and that interferences can
occur on both the opening and closing strokes of the
chewing cycle. Interferences in chewing strokes are easiest
to detect by study of the chewing strokes on computerized
mandibular scans (MKG). Head position during chewing is not is normally in the upright head position but in the feeding
position approximately a 30-degree anterior head flexion.
Correction of the chewing cycle is at least as important as
correction of right, left and protrusive excursions. Chewing is
a healthy function of the craniomandibular apparatus where
as excursive movements are actually ** exercises in
parafunctional movements. **
