咬合が人生とどうかかわっていくか

抄録

I have already discussed my opinions on how occlusal disturbances affect people's lives. Delivery using forceps may cause abnormalities in the temporomandibular joint, and the pressure from a twin's buttocks while in the womb may make the sibling's head rhomboid in shape, disturbing its symmetry. These people often have“hearts”and“bodies”which are nervous and sensitive. Marital problems promote thumb sucking resulting in an open bite and stiff neck in children, as well as making them susceptible to children's diseases. The problems of missing teeth become worse with age leading to dentures, proceeding to stiff necks, headaches, hip pain, numbness in the extremities, heart disease, high blood pressure, and senility, with life ending in a early, unhappy death. Dentists will have a very bright future when we contribute to people's health through their teeth, give them a prosperous and happy life, become needed by all, as well as being loved and respected.
