[Arrangement of the stomatognathic coupling system in the cranium]

Interindividually the stomatognathic coupling system is coordinated with the base of the skull with relative consistency. This observation allows the gearing parameters of the posterior guidance to be determined with the aid of conventional axiography. Thus, the curvature of the individual anterior guidance can be assessed for reconstructive purposes and the coordination of the anterior and posterior guidance can be generally estimated by means of functional analysis. Thus, the simple, commonly used diagnostic methods of functional analysis can be applied for the biomechanically harmonic coordination of the anterior and posterior guidances in reconstructive treatment and functional analysis.
