[Effects of cusp angle on the adaptation of masticatory function]
1The Second Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, Aichi-Gakuin University, Nagoya, Japan.
Summary
Altering the natural tooth cusp angle temporarily disrupts masticatory function, causing irregular jaw movements and muscle activity. The human body adapts to these changes, restoring normal function within weeks, and re-adapting more quickly to subsequent alterations.
