The Gnathology studies the anatomy, physiology, and function of the organs involved in eating, speaking, and breathing. Particular attention is paid to the contacts between the teeth, the relationship of the jaws, the masticatory muscles and the mandibular joint.
Why should we study Gnathology?
As dentists, knowledge of Gnathology provides us with better practice of our profession. Here is how:
Improve of the function
Understanding the processes in Gnathology in detail will help us to improve and optimize the eating, chewing, and speaking of our patients.
Preventing dental problems
By knowing the correct occlusion and contacts between the teeth, we can prevent dental problems such as abrasions, cervical defects or the loosening of one or a group of teeth.
Improve the quality of life
Working in the field of Gnathology can help patients relieve pain and discomfort in the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint, as well as reduce or eliminate episodes of bruxism.
