Abstract

An inadequate temporomandibular-joint position might cause chewing muscles malfunction, which can be responsible for various symptoms in other areas of the body as well. According to the requirement of modern dentistry during the complete prosthetic rehabilitation we strive for an optimal position of the masticatory apparatus. Therefore gnathological basics are important to use in preparing extensive prosthetics. In this case report a 72-year-old female patient with chronic headache and pain in her neck was treated successfully with prosthetic care.
