Abstract
Under the physical function, occlusion, muscles and T.M.J. are bio-structurally connected one another. Cooperation during occlusion, muscles and T.M.J. is essential to establish comfortable and stable occlusion, and smooth mandible movement. In this treatise, using three dimensional comput-ed tomography (3D-CT), we have visualized condyle bone remodeling on the case, that mandibular deviation induced over loading on stomatognathic system and condyle bone erosion which was treated by occlusal reconstruction to C.R. position or physiologic mandibular position. This results suggested the effectiveness of normal loading for stomatognathic system.
