Abstract
What is the best state of balance of teeth (periodontal tissues) and TMJ? To answer this question, at fi rst, the mandible position, which is harmonized with the living body, needs to be determined with many data, such as the facial photographs, the oral cavity photographs, study cast analysis, cephalogram analysis, and TMJ functional movement examination. Then, reconstruction of the occlusal pattern is reflected in order to make that TMJ movement smooth. When we make the full-mouth reconstruction, we consider that the best balance of the upper and lower teeth contact, and the best TMJ position and movement need to be obtained in the oral cavity. Here, the diagnosis and technology are reported.
