Abstract:
The specificity of the oral psychogenic manifestations is based on the unique psychological and depth-psychological function of the mouth, and teeth during infancy (breasting), sexuality, and aggressivity. Fixed dentures, implants, and especially removable dentures can modify strongly these psychological functions and activate oral fixations leading to psychogenic symptoms. In the present paper the great importance of the oral phase of the development of personality and the symbolical values of the mouth, teeth, tongue, and face in the oro-facial conversive symptom manifestations are discussed.
