Abstract:
The characteristics of the modern human diet do not favour normal tooth wear. This lack of evolution of the occlusal morphology will be responsible for limitations in mandibular lateral movements and masticatory work.
When masticatory impotence is detected, artificial wear of the cuspid reliefs should be performed as soon as possible.
These grindings, called selective by Pedro Planas, make it possible to free the mandibular lateral movements and to rehabilitate the masticatory function.
Physiological, unilateral and alternating chewing function allows for «happy growth» of the jaws and maintenance of a healthy masticatory system.
Keywords:
